Nature Power (move) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Nature Power (Japanese: しぜんのちから Nature Power) is a Normal-type move introduced in Generation III. It was TM96 from Generation VI to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

Effect

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Who is targeted when single-target moves are called in Gens III-V during double and triple battles? You can discuss this on the talk page.

Nature Power becomes a different damaging move depending on the environment that the battle is being conducted in.

Nature Power gains priority from Prankster, despite always calling a damaging move in games that Prankster exists. Effects that depend on a move's type (such as Pixilate and Gems) will be executed based on the type of the move Nature Power becomes.

Generation III

Nature Power targets the user rather than any specific Pokémon. Therefore, in Double and Triple Battles, because of the inability to select a target, the chosen move always hit the opponent directly opposite the user, except in Pokémon Emerald, where it always targets randomly. If the opponent directly opposite the user had fainted, the move will randomly target one of the other opponents. If in a terrain that calls a move that affects multiple Pokémon, it will target the Pokémon usually targeted by that move.

In a Pokémon Contest, Nature Power uses AncientPower's animation (but not the effects).

Pokémon Colosseum and XD

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: What does it do in the Orre Colosseum? You can discuss this on the talk page.

Generation IV

In a Pokémon Super Contest, Nature Power uses Tri Attack's animation (but not the effects).

Marsh tiles can only be found in the Safari Zones, making its effect unused.

Pokémon Battle Revolution

In Pokémon Battle Revolution, the move called by Nature Power depends on which Colosseum is being fought at:

Generation V

Generation VI

Nature Power now targets an adjacent Pokémon rather than the user (even if the move it would turn into affects multiple Pokémon). This allows single-target moves called by Nature Power to target an ally, which was not previously possible.

In a Pokémon Contest Spectacular, Nature Power uses Encore's animation (but not the effects).

Generation VII

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Nature Power, the selected move will become its corresponding Z-Move.

Generation VIII

Generation IX

Nature Power cannot be selected in a battle.

Trivia

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Accuracy displayed in Colosseum/XD

• In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Nature Power's accuracy is displayed as 95%. However, this number has no effect in battle, as Nature Power is guaranteed to call another move (which in turn will use its accuracy). In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen as well as from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl onwards, Nature Power's accuracy is displayed as "—" instead.
• The Generation III games are the only instance in which Nature Power can become a status move, in this case, Stun Spore.
• In Generation VI onward, all moves called by Nature Power are special moves.
• In Pokémon X and Y, all moves called by Nature Power are single-target moves; in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and Generation VII, when Nature Power is used in a volcanic area it becomes Lava Plume, the only instance of it becoming a multi-target move in Generation VI or VII.
• Despite not being able to learn it in Generation VI, Diancie is seen using Power Gem on X and Y's official website. However, since the battle takes place in a cave, the move Diancie used might have been Nature Power.
