Effect
Generation I to V
Spore puts the target to sleep . Spore cannot affect targets with Insomnia or Vital Spirit as their Ability .
In the Generation I handheld games only, Spore can affect a target behind a substitute .
Generation VI onwards
Grass-type Pokémon, Pokémon with Overcoat , and Pokémon holding the Safety Goggles are now immune to Spore. Pokémon under the effect of Sweet Veil are also unaffected by Spore.
Spore can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination , causing certain moves ( Dream Eater , Hex , Nightmare and Wake-Up Slap ) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.
If powered up by a Grassium Z into Z-Spore, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
