On Smogon's Movedex: Generation III Generation IV Generation V Generation VI Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Nature Power (Japanese: しぜんのちから Nature Power) is a Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III.

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 in a terrain that calls the moves Earthquake or Surf, the chosen move will affect all Pokémon in battle. If in a terrain that calls the moves Rock Slide or Razor Leaf, the chosen move will affect all opposing Pokémon.

In a link battle, Nature Power will turn into Swift.

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 link battle, Nature Power will turn into Tri Attack.

In Pokémon Battle Revolution, all Colosseums have a different Nature Power effect:

Generation V

In a triple battle, because of the inability to select a target, the chosen move will always hit the opponent directly across from the user. If in a terrain that calls the moves 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.
