Smack Down (Japanese: うちおとす Knock Down) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation V.

Effect

Smack Down inflicts damage. If the target is a Flying-type, has the ability Levitate, or is under the effects of Magnet Rise, it will lose its immunity to Template:Type2 moves until it is switched out.

It can hit a target that is using Fly or Bounce and knock it to the ground. It can also hit a Pokémon that is using or is affected by Sky Drop, but can't knock it down.

	Dwebble opens its mouth and a metallic gold orb of energy that is surrounded in orange energy appears in front of it. Dwebble then fires the orb at the opponent. When the orb hits the opponent, it explodes. If the opponent was in the air when the orb of energy explodes, the opponent shoots straight down to the ground.
