Effects

Dark Void puts the target(s) to sleep. It can only be used by Darkrai.

It targets all adjacent opponents i.e. the opposing Pokémon in a single battle, both opponents in a double battle, three opponents if in the center of a triple battle, or two opponents if situated at the side in a triple battle. Each target is counted as a separate attack so it may succeed for all, any or none of the targets.

Sleeping Pokémon cannot move (with some exceptions such as Snore). Sleep lasts for 1-3 turns.

Pokémon with the abilities Insomnia or Vital Spirit, or those behind a Substitute cannot be put to sleep.

Changes

• In Generations 4-6, Dark Void has 80% accuracy.
• In Generations 4-6, Dark Void is usable by other Pokémon if selected via Metronome, Assist, or Sketched by Smeargle.
