Smokescreen

Attack Information

Smokescreen will lower the opponent's Accuracy by 1 step on the standard Accuracy scale.

Smokescreen will always fail if it has already been used 6 times on the same pokemon, without a move that raises Accuracy being used by or against the pokemon affected by Smokescreen. This is due to the fact that a stat may only be lowered by a maximum of 6 steps, until it is reset by the use of Haze or the pokemon is switched out normally. The maximum is the limit of how many decreases can be applied to a stat. If another move decreases the Accuracy stat of the pokemon that Smokescreen is used against, the number of steps that it decreases the Accuracy stat by will count toward the 6 step limit, and reduce the number of times that Smokescreen can be used appropriately.

Smokescreen is affected by Brightpowder when the opposing pokémon is equipped with it.
