==Effect==
=== Generation VI ===
Powder covers the target in powder for the remainder of the turn. If a Pokémon affected by Powder attempts to use a move, they take damage equal to 25% of their maximum HP and cannot execute the move (PP is still consumed).
Powder has a priority of +1, so is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.
 Pokémon, Pokémon with , and Pokémon holding Safety Goggles cannot become affected by Powder (but a Pokémon already affected by Powder will remain affected even if it gains one of these properties). Powder fails if the target is already under the effect of Powder.
If a Pokémon with affected by Powder attempts to use a Fire-type move, it will fail to execute the move but take no damage. If a Pokémon affected by Powder attempts to use multiple Fire-type moves in one turn (such as due to ), Powder will activate for each one.
