Move Detail

Poison-Powder Move Detail

Poison Powder is a Grass-type status move with no power. It has 75% accuracy and induces the poisoned status condition on the target, causing them to lose a portion of their HP each turn. Poison Powder does not affect Grass-type Pokémon, Steel-type Pokémon, or those with abilities like Immunity or Magic Guard. It is commonly used to wear down opponents over time, especially in battles that favor a more strategic, attrition-based approach. Additionally, Poison Powder can be blocked by moves like Safeguard and is reflected back by Magic Coat or the ability Magic Bounce.
