Smokescreen (Japanese: えんまく Smokescreen), formatted as SmokeScreen prior to Pokémon X and Y, is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.
Effect
Smokescreen lowers the target's accuracy stat by one stage. Smokescreen will not affect a target with the Abilities Keen Eye, Clear Body, Full Metal Body or White Smoke.
If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Smokescreen, the user's evasion raises one stage.

In other games
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
In Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team, Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Sky, the user will give an opposing Pokémon the Whiffer status. Under the Whiffer status, the opposing Pokémon will always miss with any attack; even moves like Faint Attack or Aerial Ace will miss.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity and later, Smokescreen will only decrease the accuracy of the Pokémon that it was used on, just as it does in the main series games.
