Generation IV
Secret Power inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of causing a secondary effect on the target. The effect is determined by the environment. The attack's appearance also changes to another move's animation. It no longer has the out-of-battle effect of creating a secret base, as these are now located in the Underground.

| Tall grass | causes Sleep | Needle Arm |
| Sand or plain terrain | lowers Accuracy by one stage | Mud-Slap |
| Cave or rocky surfaces | causes flinching | Rock Throw |
