What does it mean when your Pokemon must recharge?

When a Pokémon must recharge, it means that it has used a powerful move that requires a turn to rest before it can attack again. This mechanic typically applies to moves with high damage or special effects, like Hyper Beam. During the recharge turn, the Pokémon cannot perform any actions, leaving it vulnerable to attacks from the opposing Pokémon. It's a strategic trade-off between dealing significant damage and exposing oneself to counterattacks.
