Powder covers the target in powder for the remainder of the turn. If a Pokémon affected by Powder attempts to use a {{type|Fire}} move, they take damage equal to 25% of their maximum HP and cannot execute the move ({{PP}} is still consumed).

Powder has a [[priority]] of +1, so is used before all moves that do not have increased priority. It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.
Powder has a [[priority]] of +1, so is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.


{{type|Grass}} Pokémon, Pokémon with {{a|Overcoat}}, and Pokémon holding [[Safety Goggles]] cannot become affected by Powder (but a Pokémon already affected by Powder will remain affected even if it gains one of these properties). Powder fails if the target is already under the effect of Powder.

If a Pokémon with {{a|Magic Guard}} affected by Powder attempts to use a Fire-type move, it will fail to execute the move but take no damage. If a Pokémon affected by Powder uses {{m|Shell Trap}}, it will take damage regardless of whether it was hit by a [[physical move]]. If a Pokémon affected by Powder attempts to use multiple Fire-type moves in one turn (such as due to {{a|Dancer}}), Powder will activate for each one. Powder can prevent a Pokémon from using a Fire-type [[Z-Move]], but status Z-Moves still gain their Z-Power effects.

Powder does not prevent a Pokémon from {{status|freeze|thawing}} itself by using a move like {{m|Flame Wheel}}. If a Pokémon affected by Powder attempts to use {{m|Natural Gift}} while holding a [[Berry]] that makes the move Fire-type, the Pokémon takes damage from Powder but the Berry is not consumed. If a Pokémon affected by Powder has {{a|Protean}} and uses a Fire-type move, it will not change type. If a Pokémon affected by Powder attempts to use a Fire-type {{cat|dance moves|dance move}} (such as {{m|Fiery Dance}}), that move will not trigger {{a|Dancer}}.

If a Pokémon affected by Powder uses {{m|Fire Pledge}} after an ally uses {{m|Water Pledge}}, such that the Pokémon ends up using Water Pledge as a combination move, Powder will not affect that move. If a Pokémon affected by Powder uses Fire Pledge otherwise (including as the first move of a combination move, or when using {{m|Grass Pledge}} as a combination move after an ally's Fire Pledge), Fire Pledge will be prevented by Powder like any other Fire-type move.

If powered up by a [[Buginium Z]] into Z-Powder, the user's {{stat|Special Defense}} stat is raised by two stages.
Despite involving an small explosion, Powder is not prevented from use or negated by {{a|Damp}}.

Powder targets enemies in the same room and gives them the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Powder}} status condition. A {{type|Fire}} move used once by a Pokémon affected by the Powder status will fail, and the Pokémon will also take damage when the move fails. The status lasts 11 turns or ends if the affected Pokémon uses a Fire-type move. It has no effect on {{type|Grass}} Pokémon as it is a {{cat|Powder and spore moves|powder move}}.
