Ember is listed at 7 power and 0.7 seconds, and it applies burning. Flamethrower, the form Ember grows into, is 18 power and 4 seconds. Thunderbolt is 20 power and 3.6 seconds. Water Pulse is 12 and 4 seconds. Magical Leaf is 17 and 3.2 seconds. Rock Slide is 19 and 4.2 seconds. Those figures are client fields, not a community damage test. The ultimate fires when its bar is full. Wet makes water-and-electric hits hurt more. Burning spreads when fire meets grass. The client also names paralyzed, poisoned and frozen.

Using a move adds a plus, then a stronger form. One developer comment puts the plus near 80 uses and the evolved form near 180, with Ember becoming Flamethrower. That comment is not repeated in the update titles, so I label it one source. From version 0.3 you do not buy your type’s specials; the partner knows them. Four field moves — Rock Smash, Flash, Defog and Surf — are taught at Smeargle’s studio. If one party member knows the field move, the whole party benefits. Unlock order and the numeric bonus on a plus mark are not published.

Questions

Do I aim the basic attack?

It is automatic. Specials are left and right click on desktop, or a tap on a phone. Auto-aim can be disabled.

What is move evolution?

Repeated use marks a move with a plus, then a stronger named form. The use counts come from one developer comment.

Which field moves exist?

Rock Smash, Flash, Defog and Surf, taught by Smeargle from version 0.3.
