Sing (Japanese: うたう Sing) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Sing puts the target to sleep.

Pokémon with Insomnia, Vital Spirit or Soundproof as their Ability are unaffected by Sing. Pokémon under the effect of Sweet Veil are also unaffected by Sing.

Sing can also be used as part of a Contest Spectaculars combination causing Perish Song and Refresh to have their base appeal points doubled if used in the next turn. It is also a combination in Contest Spectaculars, causing certain moves (Dream Eater, Hex, Nightmare and Wake-Up Slap) to give extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Sing, the user's Speed stat raises one stage.
