{{iw|bulbapedia|Disable|move}} is a Normal-type status move introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}. It prevents the target from being able to use a specific move for several turns, though the exact mechanics — from duration to accuracy and even move selection — vary throughout generations. In Generation I, Disable will randomly choose one of the target's moves to prevent the use of for a certain duration of turns. From Generation II and onward, Disable will disable the target's last used move, meaning it fails otherwise. Since then, its accuracy has been steadily buffed, and it has become one of the most-buffed moves in the franchise as a result. Its depiction in the ''Smash'' series, in which it prevents the victim from moving entirely, is closer to how the move works in the ''Pokémon'' anime series and the ''Mystery Dungeon'' spinoff games.

The function of Disable in ''Smash'' resembles a different ''Pokémon'' move altogether: {{iw|bulbapedia|Glare|move}}, which consists in the user making eye contact with the opposing Pokémon in order to [[bulbapedia:Paralysis (status condition)|paralyze]] it. However, Mewtwo cannot learn Glare in the ''Pokémon'' games.


Disable is a part of Mewtwo's starting moveset in every game. However, while Mewtwo is programmed to learn Disable at level 1 in ''Pokémon Red and Green'', it can't learn it due to the lack of a {{iw|bulbapedia|Move Reminder}} in these games, meaning that Disable Mewtwo was effectively unused until ''Pokémon Stadium 2'' introduced the ability to relearn moves.
