On Smogon's Movedex:

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

Generation I

Sleep Powder puts the target to sleep.

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

Generation II

In the Generation II core series games, when an in-game opponent outside of the Battle Tower uses Sleep Powder, the move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.

Generations III to V

Sleep Powder cannot affect targets with Insomnia, Vital Spirit or Sap Sipper as their Ability.

Sleep Powder can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if Sweet Scent was used in the previous turn.

Generation VI onwards

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.

+In the Generation I handheld games only, Sleep Powder can affect a target behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}.
+===Generation II===
+In the Generation II [[core series]] games, when an in-game opponent outside of the {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}} uses Sleep Powder, the move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.
+===Generations III to V===
+Sleep Powder cannot affect targets with {{a|Insomnia}}, {{a|Vital Spirit}} or {{a|Sap Sipper}} as their [[Ability]].
+Sleep Powder can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if {{m|Sweet Scent}} was used in the previous turn.
+===Generation VI onwards===
+{{type|Grass}} Pokémon, Pokémon with {{a|Overcoat}}, and Pokémon holding the [[Safety Goggles]] are now immune to Sleep Powder. Pokémon under the effect of {{a|Sweet Veil}} are also unaffected by Sleep Powder.
+Sleep Powder can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing certain moves ({{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Hex}}, {{m|Nightmare}} and {{m|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 {{stat|Speed}} stat is raised by one stage.
