Effects

When Nature Power is used it turns into a different move depending on the current battle terrain, as listed below.

Although it's a Normal type move, the user only receives STAB if the move it turns into is their type. For example, Sawsbuck (Normal/Grass) would not obtain STAB if Nature Power turned into Hydro Pump, but Ludicolo would.

Changes

In Generations 3-5, Nature Power is set to target the user, but attacks the Pokémon directly opposite it on the battlefield (or an adjacent foe in double/triple battles if there is no Pokémon opposite). Moves that target multiple Pokémon such as Rock Slide still hit those targets as normal.

Z-Move effects

When a Pokémon is holding Normalium Z and uses its Z-Power, Nature Power turns into Z-Nature Power and becomes the Z-Move for the move selected (for example Hydro Vortex when on water), in addition to its usual effect as above.

Move target

Foe

User

Ally

Targets a single adjacent Pokémon.
