Magic Powder (Japanese: まほうのこな Magic Powder) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation VIII. It is the signature move of Hatterene.

Effect

Magic Powder changes the target's type to pure Psychic. The effect lasts as long as the target remains in battle; however, changing form or transforming overrides the effect.

Magic Powder fails if the target has a substitute, is already a pure Psychic type, is Terastallized, or its Ability is RKS System.

Being a powder move, it will fail on Grass-type Pokémon and Pokémon with the Ability Overcoat or holding a Safety Goggles.

Generation VIII

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Magic Powder cannot be selected in a battle.
