Cotton Spore

Grass

Summary

Cotton Spore is a non-damaging Grass-type move with 100% accuracy. It does not have a power rating since it does not deal direct damage. Instead, Cotton Spore sharply lowers the target's Speed stat by two stages, making it easier for the user and its allies to outspeed and attack first in subsequent turns. Introduced in Generation II, Cotton Spore is often utilized for its strategic benefits, particularly in battles where controlling speed is crucial. This move is commonly associated with Pokémon that resemble plants or have cotton-like features, such as Jumpluff and Whimsicott.
