Sleep Powder (Japanese: ねむりごな Sleep Powder) is a non-damaging Grass-type move introduced in Generation I.

It appears to be a sleep counterpart to Poison Powder and Stun Spore, as the accuracy, Contest group, appeal, effects, Japanese names and animation are the same or very similar. They are also usually learned at the same level or in a similar pattern.

Effect

Generations I and II

Sleep Powder puts the target to sleep.

Generations III and IV

Sleep Powder cannot affect targets with Insomnia or Vital Spirit as their Ability.

Generation V

Sleep Powder is ineffective if used on a Pokémon with Sap Sipper.

Generation VI

Grass-type Pokémon, Pokémon with Overcoat, and Pokémon holding the Safety Goggles are now immune to Sleep Powder.
