Move JSONs

Different aspects of the Pixelmon mod can be tweaked through different types of external JSON files. This page covers the Move files, which define characteristics and behavior of Pokémon moves. Generally, these should not be modified. Any incorrect move behavior should be reported to the Bug Tracker. Custom moves are not supported.
