Nature Power (Japanese: しぜんのちから Nature Power) is a Normal-type move introduced in Generation III. It is TM96 as of Generation VI.

Effect

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Confirm XD info.; PMD Generation IV and later

Nature Power becomes a different damaging move depending on the environment that the battle is being conducted in.

Nature Power gains priority from Prankster, despite always calling a damaging move. Effects that depend on a move's type (such as Pixilate and Gems) will be executed based on the type of the move Nature Power becomes.

Generation III

Nature Power targets the user rather than any specific Pokémon. Therefore, in Double and Triple Battles, because of the inability to select a target, the chosen move always hit the opponent directly opposite the user. If the opponent directly opposite the user had fainted, the move will randomly target one of the other opponents. If in a terrain that calls a move that affects multiple Pokémon, it will target the Pokémon usually targeted by that move.

In a Pokémon Contest, Nature Power uses AncientPower's animation (but not the effects).
