Sleep Powder Competitive Analysis

Sleep Powder has seen play in almost all previous generations. Puting your target to sleep is a strong effect that is still viable in today's meta. Support Pokemon like Lilligant and Eldegoss are usually the ones that run this.

While Sleep is a strong effect, it still has it's counters. For example, it does not affect Grass-types, Pokemon with Overcoat and Safety Goggles. And while it's not as common as it once was, Sleep Talk and Snore completely negates the purpose of sleep.

Sleep Powder Locations

Sleep Powder is only available via Egg Move, Level Up, and by Default.
