'''Secret Power''' (Japanese: '''ひみつのちから''' ''Secret Power'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It was [[TM43]] from Generation III to [[Generation IV]], and [[TM94]] in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. In Generations {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VII}}, it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Audino}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Confirm whether it is affected by Shield Dust}}
===In battle===
Secret Power inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of causing a secondary effect. The effect and animation are determined by the current [[Battle Environment]]. The effect and animation caused by each environment change between games, as do the environments recognized.

====Generation III====
In a [[Pokémon Contest]], Secret Power uses {{m|Needle Arm}}'s animation (but not the effects).

Secret Power's secondary effect chance is doubled by {{a|Serene Grace}}.

=====Pokémon Colosseum and XD=====
{{MoveResearch|What does it do in the Orre Colosseum?}}
Secret Power uses the animation for {{m|Needle Arm}}, regardless of location.

====Generation IV====
In a [[Pokémon Super Contest]], Secret Power uses {{m|Body Slam}}'s animation (but not the effects).

Marsh tiles can only be found in the [[Safari Zone]]s, making its effect unused.

=====Pokémon Battle Revolution=====
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], Secret Power's animation is the same for all Colosseums, but the move still has different secondary effects depending on which Colosseum is being fought at:

====Generation VI====
Secret Power's secondary effect chance is now doubled by {{a|Serene Grace}}, but it is still not doubled by the rainbow effect from combining {{m|Water Pledge}} and {{m|Fire Pledge}}.

In a [[Pokémon Contest]] Spectacular, Secret Power uses {{m|Last Resort}}'s animation (but not the effects).

====Generation VIII onwards====
Secret Power cannot be selected in a battle.

===Outside of battle===
====Generation III====
Secret Power allows the user to create their own [[Secret Base]]. When used on certain trees, a vine drops down. When used on indented walls, a cave opens. When used on certain bushes, an entrance opens.

====Generations IV and V====
It no longer has the out-of-battle effect of creating a Secret Base.

====Generation VI====
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Secret Power can again be used to create Secret Bases at Secret Spots. Secret Power can only be used in the field once the player has obtained its TM ([[TM94]]).

====Generation VII onwards====
Secret Power cannot be used outside of battle.

Secret Power deals damage, and may inflict a secondary effect depending on the dungeon's current terrain. From {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, it is also affected by [[Terrain|moves that change terrain]].

Before {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity}}, the animation was always that of {{m|Needle Arm}}. Since then, Secret Power has had a unique animation that remains the same regardless of the dungeon terrain.

==Trivia==
* Secret Power is the only:
** move that can have a chance of {{status|freeze|freezing}} higher than 10%, excluding {{m|Blizzard}} in the Japanese [[Generation I]] handheld games.
** {{type|Normal}} move capable of {{status|poison}}ing the target.
* Secret Power only uses the animations of damage-dealing moves.
* In [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}} as well as {{g|X and Y}}, Secret Power only uses the animations of single-target moves.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Secret Power uses the animation of {{m|Incinerate}} in a volcanic area and the animation of {{m|Swift}} in space, the only instances of it using the animation of a multi-target move in Generation VI.
** As a result, it has a unique animation when used in [[Horde Encounter]]s in volcanic areas (there are no battles with multiple opponents in space). Incinerate shoots fireballs at all opponents, whereas Secret Power only shoots a fireball at the target. This is the only instance in the [[core series]] games that Secret Power has a unique animation.
* In [[Generation VII]], Secret Power uses the animation of Incinerate when used in volcanic areas, the only instance of it using the animation of a multi-target move in that generation. Unlike in Generation VI, it uses the same animation as Incinerate in battles with multiple opponents, causing both opponents to react to the hit despite the move only affecting one of them.
* Secret Power is the only move present in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team]] not to be present in the remake, as it was exclusively a TM move in Generation III and does not have equivalent or a Move Tutor in Generation VII games, with the only Pokémon that learns it normally not being present in the game.
