Cotton Spore (Japanese: わたほうし Cotton Spore) is a non-damaging Grass-type move introduced in Generation II.
Effect
Generation II
Cotton Spore lowers the target's Speed stat by two stages and has an accuracy of 85.
In the Generation II core series games, when an in-game opponent outside of the Battle Tower uses Cotton Spore, the move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.
Generations III to IV
In Double Battles, Cotton Spore may target any single foe or ally.
Generation V
The accuracy of Cotton Spore is increased to 100.
Generation VI onwards
Grass-type Pokémon, Pokémon with Overcoat, and Pokémon holding the Safety Goggles are now immune to Cotton Spore.
In Double and Triple Battles, Cotton Spore now targets all adjacent foes.
If powered up by a Grassium Z into Z-Cotton Spore, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
