Snore (move)

Snore (Japanese: いびき Snore) is a damage-dealing move introduced in Generation II. It was TM13 in Generation II.

Generation II
Snore can only be used if the user is ; it will fail in any other case.

Snore inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of causing the target to.

Generation III
If or Snore is used at least once consecutively in the turns right before switching out, the Pokémon will sleep for the same amount of turns as were remaining prior to the usage of those two moves when switched back in.

Pokémon with the Ability are not affected by this move.

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, provided that Snore is one of the user's moves, if the user takes direct damage while asleep it may inflict damage on the foe indirectly (by counterattack).

Snore can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra four appeal points if was used in the prior turn.

Generation IV to V
Turns where Snore is used are always counted towards waking the Pokémon.

Generation VI onward
Snore's power changed from 40 to 50.

Snore can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if was used in the prior turn.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
Snore is a Normal-type move with a power of 4, 16 PP, and 95 Accuracy. Using it will have no effect; rather, it will automatically be used if the Pokémon that uses it is asleep and is attacked, and will be used on the attacker. It has a 30% chance to inflict the target with cringing. It is completely unaffected by the cowering and confusion statuses, and cannot be linked.

In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Snore instead has a base power of 20 (up to 50), a base accuracy of 90 (up to 98), and max PP of 25 (up to 40). Rather than function as a counterattack, it instead is used automatically if there are any nearby enemies, and affects all enemies surrounding the user. It may still cause flinching.

In both games, it is a sound-based move, and thus can be blocked if the user has the Muzzle status.
