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 take extra damage and become vulnerable 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.
