Spore

Type Power Accuracy PP Priority Damage Target
Grass - 100% 15 0 - Single non-user

Description

Induces sleep on the target Pokemon with 100% accuracy.

Competitive Use

Spore is the only 100% accurate sleep-inducing move in the game. With the new sleep mechanics in Black and White, Spore can be used to devastating effect, incapacitating your opponent and buying you time to either set up a Substitute or a stat boost. Breloom is arguably the best user, typically using Substitute while your opponent switches fearing a Spore, almost guaranteeing that Breloom will pull off a Spore the next turn. Smeargle is also a viable user; it can outspeed common slow walls and put them to sleep, allowing it to pull off several stat boosts and Baton Pass them to a teammate.

Related Moves

Sleep Powder has the same effect but with only 75% accuracy.

Dark Void is a Dark-type equivalent, but with 80% accuracy and can only be learned by Darkrai and Smeargle.
