Haze on Legendary Pokémon MoveDex Haze on Eevee's Movedex

Haze (Japanese: くろいきり Black Mist) is a non-damaging Ice-type move introduced in Generation I.

It appears to be a status resetting counterpart to Mist, as the type, PP and Japanese names are the same or very similar. They are also usually learned at the same level.

Effect

Generation I-II

Haze resets the stat levels of both active Pokémon to 0 and removes the stat reductions due to burns and paralysis as well as the effects of Focus Energy, Leech Seed, Light Screen, Mist, Reflect, Confusion, and the cumulative nature of Toxic from both active Pokémon. In addition, Haze removes any major status ailments from the opponent.

Haze does not remove any major status ailments that the user has, does not change the generic Minimize graphic back to the Pokémon's regular image, and does not reset either Pokémon's current type(s), current move(s), or current species.

If a frozen Pokémon that has not recharged from Hyper Beam has its freeze status eliminated via Haze, it will remain unable to attack, switch, or do anything else, and nothing will then be able to change this.

In Stadium, Haze eliminates any major status ailments that the user has.

Generation III and on

Unlike previous generations, Haze's effects simply resets the stat levels of both active Pokémon to 0.

Also, now it affects all active Pokémon on the field in a double battle and/or triple battle.

Trivia

• Haze in the anime seems to have the same effect as SmokeScreen.
  • In the first instance of Haze being used in the anime, it seemed to do damage, which is impossible in the games.
• Despite being an Ice-type move, Cryogonal is the only Ice-type Pokémon that can learn it.
  • However, Articuno is able to learn Haze in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
