What it does

No additional effect.

At 90 base power it is the 11th strongest of the 40 damaging special moves that appear in this format.

Who carrys it

14 of the 282 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder carry Hyper Voice. The one that matters most is Farigiraf, which is on 20.2% of teams and carrys it on 17.8% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.

What it hits

As a Normal move it is super effective against nothing, resisted by Rock and Steel, and does nothing at all to Ghost. 16 other Normal moves appear in this format: Protect, Fake Out, Weather Ball, Encore, Helping Hand, Quick Attack and others.

Who could and does not

58 Pokémon legal in this regulation can learn Hyper Voice at all, against the 14 that actually bring it. The gap is the interesting number: it is the set of Pokémon that have the option and decline it. The most-played of those are Maushold, Hydreigon, Politoed, Rotom-Wash, Kommo-o and Lycanroc-Dusk — each of them measured on the ladder, each of them leaving this move on the shelf.

How concentrated it is

Across the ladder, Hyper Voice accounts for an expected 0.27 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 20th most-brought of the 126 moves this format runs. 13% of that comes from Farigiraf alone, so it is spread across the field rather than propped up by one Pokémon. Its carriers are mostly Normal (7), Fairy (4) and Psychic (3).

Where these numbers come from

Usage is Smogon's published statistics for the Regulation M-B VGC ladder, and the description is the one shipped in the Pokémon Showdown data set. Both are regenerated on every build rather than written by hand, so this page follows the format instead of trailing it. Take any of it to the team builder or the damage calculator.
