Does Spore not work in 5 star raids?

Jan. 3, 2023



I tried using spore on a 5* Appletun twice and it didn’t give me any message other than it was used, but it didn’t fall asleep. Do status moves not really work in high ranked raids?

Hey there. With Appletun being a Dragon Tera type, Spore would not have failed for typing reasons.

Status moves will fail in a Tera battle against a Tera Pokémon if they have their Tera Shield up, which is possibly what happened in your scenario.

Alternatively, it may have woken up immediately due to all turns taking place at once. If you put it to sleep and your allies were attacking, it would have just woken up by the time the “round” concluded.

Ever since XY, all Grass-types are immune to powder-based moves, including Spore.
