Sleep Powder (Japanese: ねむりごな Sleep Powder) is a non-damaging Grass-type move introduced in Generation I.

It appears to be a sleep counterpart to Poison Powder and Stun Spore, as the accuracy, Contest group, appeal, effects, Japanese names and animation are the same or very similar. They are also usually learned at the same level or in a similar pattern.

Effect

Generations I-V

Sleep Powder puts the target to sleep. Sleep Powder cannot affect targets with Insomnia, Vital Spirit or Sap Sipper as their Ability.

In the Generation I handheld games only, Sleep Powder can affect a target behind a substitute.

Sleep Powder can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining an extra appeal point if move Sweet Scent was used in the prior turn.

Generation VI onward

Grass-type Pokémon, Pokémon with Overcoat, and Pokémon holding the Safety Goggles are now immune to Sleep Powder. Pokémon under the effect of Sweet Veil are also unaffected by Sleep Powder.

Sleep Powder can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing certain moves (Dream Eater, Hex, Nightmare and Wake-Up Slap) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a Grassium Z into Z-Sleep Powder, the user's Speed stat is raised by one stage.
