Effect

In battle

Generation I

Inwild battles, the user flees and the battle ends. InTrainer battles, Teleport always fails.

If the user's level is less than the opponent's level, there is a chance that Teleport will fail, between approximately 10% and 25%, depending on the levels of the two Pokémon. The chance of failure typically increases the higher the target's level is than the user's. Specifically, the chance of failure is the following.FailureChance=Levelopponent4Levelopponent+Leveluser+1

Generation II

If Teleport is used by the player's Pokémon, it can still fail because of the opponent's level, but this no longer applies to wild Pokémon using Teleport due to a bug.

Teleport will fail if the user is trapped by atrapping move (exceptbinding moves), or if used by an opposingNPC.

In this generation only, Teleport fails in battles with Pokémon encountered as traps in theTeam Rocket's Hideout, theGS BallCelebi, theTin TowerSuicune (in Crystal), and the scriptedRed Gyarados.

Generations III and IV

Teleport fails if used in a wild battle that is not a Single Battle. Teleport can no longer fail due to the user's level being less than the opponent's level.

Teleport will now fail if the user is trapped by anytrapping move (includingIngrain andbinding moves) orAbility. If the user is holding aSmoke Ball, Teleport will succeed regardless of trapping moves and Abilities.

InPokémon Colosseum, there are no wild encounters, so Teleport always fails. InPokémon XD, it can successfully be used in wild encounters atPoké Spots.

Teleport can be used as the second move of aPokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point ifConfusion,Double Team,Kinesis, orPsychic was used in the previous turn.

Generation V

Teleport will succeed regardless ofIngrain. If the user is owned by a Trainer and holding aSmoke Ball, Teleport will succeed regardless of trapping moves and Abilities; if the user is a wild Pokémon, Teleport will fail if the user is affected by a trapping move or Ability, even if it is holding aSmoke Ball.

Generation VI

If the user is holding aSmoke Ball, Teleport will succeed regardless of trapping moves and Abilities.

Generation VII

Teleport always fails in battles duringtrials.SOS Battles are considered Single Battles as long as there is only a single opponent.

If powered up by aPsychium Z into Z-Teleport, the user regains all of its HP.

InPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Teleport switches the user out. It has -6priority. Teleport fails if the user is the only Pokémon in theparty that is able to battle.

Generation VIII onwards

Teleport retains its effect fromPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, and it succeeds regardless of whether the user is trapped. It only ends a battle if used by a wild Pokémon.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Teleport cannot bemastered.

Outside of battle

FromGenerationsI toVI, as well as inPokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, using Teleport outdoors warps theplayer to the last visitedPokémon Center, or totheir own house if they have never visited a Pokémon Center. FromGeneration IV onwards, visiting one's own house sets it as the current Teleport location.

In Generation I, the player must heal their Pokémon at the counter for it to count as a visit. In subsequent generations, the player only needs to enter the location.

InPokémon Gold, Silver,Crystal,HeartGold, and SoulSilver:

Teleport can only be used outside, with the same restrictions asFly. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, unlike Fly, Teleport can teleport the player between regions.

In Generation IV only, Teleport cannot be used in towns or cities (except theSafari Zone Gate), atMt. Silver, or at thePokéathlon Dome.
