Stun Spore (Japanese: しびれごな Numbing Powder) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.

It appears to be a paralyzing counterpart to PoisonPowder and Sleep Powder, 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

Stun Spore paralyzes the target.

Stun Spore can't affect a target that already has a major status ailment.

In Stadium, Stun Spore can't affect a target that has a substitute.
