Spr 1g 006.png The picture used in this article is unsatisfactory.
Please feel free to replace it so it conforms to Bulbapedia conventions.
Reason: Should be replaced with Generation VI images

151Mew.png This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: Whether it is affected by Serene Grace in Gen III and IV
Effects in the Orre games - the animation stays the same but not the effects

You can discuss this on the talk page.

Generation III

Secret Power allows the user to create their own Secret Base. When used on certain trees, a vine drops down. When used on indented walls, a cave opens. When used on certain bushes, an entrance opens.

Generation IV and V

It no longer has the out-of-battle effect of creating a Secret Base.

Generation VI

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Secret Power can again be used to create Secret Bases at Secret Spots. Secret Power can only be used in the field once the player has obtained its TM (TM94).

Trivia

  • Secret Power is the only move that can have a chance of freezing higher than 10%, excluding Blizzard in the Japanese Generation I handheld games.
  • Secret Power is the only Normal-type move able to cause poisoning, excluding moves that have been changed to Normal-type by Normalize.
  • Secret Power only uses the animations of damage-dealing moves.
  • In Generation IV and V as well as Pokémon X and Y, Secret Power only uses the animations of single-target moves.
  • In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Secret Power uses the animation of Incinerate in a volcanic area and the animation of Swift in space, the only instances of it using the animation of a multi-target move in Generation VI.
    • As a result, it has a unique animation when used in Horde Encounters in volcanic areas (there are no battles with multiple opponents in space). Incinerate shoots fireballs at all opponents, whereas Secret Power only shoots a fireball at the target. This is the only instance in the core series games that Secret Power has a unique animation.
