Celebrate (Japanese: おいわい Celebration) is a non-damaging Normal-type event-exclusive move introduced in Generation VI.

Effect

Celebrate has no effect in battle. When a Pokémon uses this move, it will disappear and a present will drop down from above and unfold to reveal the Pokémon that used it inside. The battle text will then display: Congratulations, <player>!

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Celebrate, the user's Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed are raised by one stage each.

Celebrate can be used as a part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing Bestow, Fling, and Present to give an extra three appeal points if any of them are used in the next turn.

Generation VIII

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Celebrate cannot be selected in a battle.
