PoisonPowder (Japanese: どくのこな PoisonPowder) is a non-damaging Poison-type move introduced in Generation I.

It appears to be a poison counterpart to Sleep Powder and Stun Spore, as the accuracy, Contest group, appeal, effects, Japanese names and animation are the same or very similar. They are also usually learned at the same level or in a similar pattern.

Effect

PoisonPowder poisons the target.

Trivia

  • Most of PoisonPowder's in-game descriptions state that it may poison the target. The word choice is likely alluding to its 75% accuracy, since it will always poison the target if the move is successful.
