What are all recoil moves?

Also, I heard that hi jump kick is one. Why?

This answer is up-to-date as of The Indigo Disk.

Recoil damage, crash damage, moves that cause the user to faint, moves that cost HP to use, and Mind Blown/Steel Beam are different categories of moves. That said, they’re similar enough that this is typically irrelevant.
