Generation III

In battle

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. The animation is determined by the environment also.

Terrain	Secondary effect	Animation
Building	causes Paralysis	Strength
Plain terrain		Slam
Sand	lowers Accuracy by one stage	Mud Shot
Cave	causes Flinching	Bite
Rock	causes Confusion	Rock Throw
Tall grass	inflicts Poison	Needle Arm
Long grass	causes Sleep	Magical Leaf
Pond water	lowers Speed by one stage	BubbleBeam
Sea water	lowers Attack by one stage	Surf
Underwater	lowers Defense by one stage	Waterfall

Out of battle

Secret Power allows the user to create their own secret base. When used on certain trees, a vine drops down. When used on indented walls, a cave opens. When used on certain bushes, an entrance opens.

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.

In a link battle, Secret Power uses the animation of Body Slam and has a chance to cause paralysis.

Sand, plain terrain, and puddles	lowers Accuracy by one stage	Mud-Slap
Cave and rock	causes Flinching	Rock Throw
Tall grass	causes Sleep	Needle Arm

Gateway	lowers Attack by one stage
Main Street	causes Paralysis
Waterfall	causes Sleep
Neon	causes Paralysis
Crystal	causes Flinching
Sunny Park	causes Sleep
Magma	causes Flinching

Generation V

Secret Power inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of causing a secondary effect. The effect is determined by environment.

In a link battle, Secret Power uses the animation of Body Slam and has a chance to cause paralysis.

Terrain	Secondary effect	Animation

Trivia

• Up until Generation V, this was the only move that can cause sleep in which the probability of sleep is less than 100% if the move is successful. In Generation V, Relic Song shares this capability.
• As of Generation V, only one Pokémon, Audino, can learn this move through leveling up.
• This is the only move that can have a chance of freezing higher than 10%.
• Despite what its various animations may imply, Secret Power will always be Normal-type.
• Secret Power is one of the two non-Ice-type move that can freeze the target. Also, both of these moves are Normal-type.
