Effect Spore (ability)
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Effect Spore (Japanese: ほうし Spore) is an ability introduced in Generation III that leaves spores on contact. Four Pokémon have this ability, all of them Grass-type. It has a 10% chance of inducing either Paralysis, Sleep or Poison on the opponent when hit with a physical attack. Interestingly, all the Pokémon who can legally learn Spore can have this ability, with exception of Smeargle.
