==Effect==
Mist protects the user's team from stat modifications inflicted by the opponent for five turns. Moves used by the opponent that only cause a stat change, such as {{m|Growl}} or {{m|Kinesis}}, will fail; moves that deal damage and lower an opponent's stat, such as {{m|Rock Smash}} and {{m|Psychic}}, still do damage but do not decrease stats. The team is also protected from Abilities that lower stats such as {{a|Intimidate}}.
===Generation I===
Mist protects the user from stat modifications inflicted by the opponent until it switches out. Moves used by the opponent that only cause a stat change, such as {{m|Growl}} or {{m|Kinesis}}, will fail; moves that deal damage and lower an opponent's stat, such as {{m|Rock Smash}} and {{m|Psychic}}, still do damage but do not decrease stats.


Mist does not remove any stat modifiers already in effect, does not prevent the stat modifications associated with {{status|burn}} and {{status|paralysis}}, and does not prevent the user or allied Pokémon from lowering their own stats. The effect of Mist can be removed by {{m|Defog}} or {{m|Haze}} (only in Generation I).
