Nature Power (Japanese: しぜんのちから Nature Power) is a Normal-type move introduced in Generation III. It is TM96 as of Generation VI.

Effect

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Confirm XD info.; PMD Generation IV and later

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

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. 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).

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.

If Tri-Attack is called upon, the abilities Aerilate, Pixilate and Refrigerate will change it's typing accordingly.

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