Nature Power (Japanese: しぜんのちから Nature Power) is a Normal-type move introduced in Generation III.
Contents |
Effect
Generation III
Nature Power's effect depends on the environment that the battle is being conducted in. Different environments will cause Nature Power to become different moves.
In a double battle, because of the inability to select a target, the chosen move will always hit the opponent directly across from the user. If the opponent directly across from the user has fainted, the move chosen will hit the other foe. If in a terrain that calls the move Earthquake, it will affect all Pokémon in battle. If in a terrain that calls the moves Surf, Rock Slide, or Razor Leaf, the chosen move will affect all opposing Pokémon.
In a link battle, Nature Power will turn into Swift.

| Building and plain terrain | Swift | Normal | 60 | —% |
| Sand | Earthquake | Ground | 100 | 100% |

Generation IV
Like Generation III, Nature Power will change into different moves depending on the environment; however, some moves have changed from Generation III, and all are now damage-dealing.
In a double battle, because of the inability to select a target, the chosen move will always hit the opponent directly across from the user. If the opponent directly across from the user has fainted, the move chosen will hit the other foe. If in a terrain that calls the move Earthquake, it will affect all Pokémon in battle. If in a terrain that calls the moves Blizzard or Rock Slide, the chosen move will affect all opposing Pokémon.
In a link battle, Nature Power will turn into Tri Attack.

Generation V
In a double or triple battle, because of the inability to select a target, the chosen move will always hit the opponent directly across from the user. If the opponent directly across from the user has fainted, the move chosen will hit the other adjacent foe. If the user is in the center position, and the opponent directly across from it has fainted, the move chosen will randomly attack one of the other opponents. If in a terrain that calls the move Earthquake, the chosen move will affect all adjacent Pokémon in battle. If in a terrain that calls the move Rock Slide, the chosen move will affect all opposing adjacent Pokémon.
In a link battle, Nature Power will turn into Earthquake.
