Mist (Japanese:しろいきりWhite Mist) is a non-damagingIce-typemove introduced inGeneration I.

Effect

Generation I

Mist protects the user from having its stats decreased by opponents'status moves until the user switches out. Damaging moves withadditional effects that lower the target's stats, such asAcid orPsychic, can still decrease the Pokémon's stats.

Mist does not remove any stat stage changes already in effect, and it does not prevent the user from lowering their own stats. The effect of Mist can be removed byHaze.

Mist will fail if it is already under effect. Mist does not stack with the effect ofGuard Spec.

Generation II

Mist protects the user from having its stats decreased by opponents until the user switches out. It now also applies to damaging moves.

Haze can no longer remove the effect of Mist. The effect can be passed withBaton Pass.

Generation III onwards

Mist now creates a Mist effect on the user's side of the field that lasts for five turns. All Pokémon on the user's side of the field are protected while Mist is active, including Pokémon switched in after it was created. It is removed if a Pokémon on that side of the field is hit byDefog.

While Mist is in effect, other Pokémon (including allies) cannot lower the stats of Pokémon protected by Mist using either moves orAbilities (e.g.Intimidate). However, it does not prevent Pokémon lowering their own stats.

If powered up by anIcium Z into Z-Mist, the user regains all of its HP.

Trivia

Mist ending in Battle Revolution.
  • Mist displays an animation when it ends inPokémon Battle Revolution.
  • Guard Spec. has the same effect as Mist, even displaying the same "the ally was shrouded in mist" text.
  • InPokémon Yellow,Vaporeon is programmed to learn bothHaze and Mist at level 42; however, a bug prevents a Pokémon from learning two moves at the same level, so Vaporeon cannot learn Mist in Yellow outside ofPokémon Day Care.
  • It appears to be a stat-protecting counterpart toHaze. They have the same type, PP, andZ-Move effect. Moreover, their Japanese names are very similar. They are also usually learned at the same level.
