I was hoping to find out what other switch-out moves there are besides the two listed above. I want to do a very gimmicky team focused around only using these types of moves. I am only asking for switch out moves that switch out the user, not moves that switch the opponent out.

I think this question was asked already, but now I can't find it.
That one only asks for ones that deal damage and switch out-this asks for all switch-out moves

  • Flip Turn is a 60 Base Power Physical Water move that works similar to U-Turn
  • Parting Shot is a Dark Type Status move that lowers the targets Attack and Special Attack by 1
  • Teleport is a -1 priority move; it is useful to pass a Wish, or swap in a Pokemon with full health without it taking damage
  • Baton Pass passes all stat changes, substitutes, and etc. Check here to see everything passed onto a Pokemon with Baton Pass
  • Chilly Reception creates snow, then switches the user out
  • Shed Tail takes half of the user's health to make a substitute and switches the user out

The moves that switch you out are as follows:

U-Turn (deals damage)

Volt Switch
(deals damage)

Flip Turn (deals damage)

Teleport (switches out with negative priority)

Parting Shot (lowers opponent’s attack and SpA and switches out)

Baton Pass (switches out and passes stat boosts and various other effects that your Pokémon has to the Pokémon you switch to)

There are more you missed. Baton Pass, it switches you out while passing your stat changes to the next Pokemon(status), Teleport, which switches you out at 1- priority(status), Flip Turn(60 base power), which is a water U-Turn, and Parting Shot, a move that makes you pivot out and lower the opponents attack and special attack. I forgot about the others, so I edited it.

You also missed teleport, flip turn, and maybe a few more.
Oh yeah.
There, I changed it. Happy now? Also, I haven't played pokemon in a long time, so I forgot about them, thanks.
