- **animation:** Which animation to play when using the move. Remember, constants like `POUND` correspond to moves but also to battle animations, as we'll see later.
- **effect:** What effect the move has. Valid effects are in [constants/move_effect_constants.asm](../blob/master/constants/move_effect_constants.asm). Some exist that aren't used for any moves yet, like `EFFECT_SP_ATK_UP_2`.
-- **power:** The base power. 0 for non-damaging moves; 1 for moves that do damage but not with the standard formula, like Seismic Toss, Counter, or Magnitude.
+- **power:** The base power. 0 for non-damaging moves; 1 for moves that do damage but not with the standard formula, like Seismic Toss, Counter, or Magnitude. (The AI uses this property to distinguish damaging and non-damaging moves.)
- **type:** The type.
- **accuracy:** The accuracy, from 1 to 100.
- **PP:** The PP, from 5 to 40. Sketch has 1 PP but it requires special-case code in some places; and 40 is the maximum because any more and PP Up could boost it out of bounds. (PP is stored in 6 bits, not a full byte, so cannot exceed 63.)
