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

Effect

Mist prevents the effects of primary stat modifications inflicted by the opponent. If a move used by the opponent could only cause a stat change (such as Growl or Kinesis), that move will fail. However, Mist will have no effect on side effect stat modifiers used by the opponent, such as defense reducing via Acid or special reducing via Psychic.

Mist does not remove any stat modifiers already in effect, does not prevent the stat modifications associated with burns or paralysis, and does not prevent the user from successfully using stat modifiers. The effect of Mist can only be removed by switching, Defog, or Haze.

Mist will fail if the user is already under its effect.
