Trivia

  • As its English and Japanese names imply, Spore can only be learned by mushroom-based Pokémon, with the obvious exception of Smeargle.
  • Every odd numbered Generation has introduced a new evolutionary line that can learn Spore.
  • Spore is the only sleep-inducing move with 100% accuracy, without aids such as held items or other moves.
