Sing (move) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokmon encyclopedia

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Sing (Japanese: うたう Sing) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Sing puts the target to sleep.

Pokémon with Insomnia, Vital Spirit, Shields Down (with the shield active), or Comatose as their Ability are immune to sleep. Pokémon with Soundproof (due to it being a sound-based move) are also immune to Sing.

Sing is a sound-based move.

Generation I

In the handheld games only, Sing can affect a target behind a substitute.

Generation II

Sing can no longer affect a target behind a substitute.

In the Generation II core series games, when an in-game opponent outside of the Battle Tower uses Sing, the move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.

Generations III to V

Sing can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Perish Song and Refresh to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.

Generation VI onwards

Sing can now hit a target behind a substitute.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Sing, the user's Speed stat is raised by one stage. Throat Chop cannot prevent a Pokémon from using Z-Sing.

Sing can be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing certain moves (Dream Eater, Hex, Nightmare and Wake-Up Slap) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Sing puts the enemy to sleep. This move is affected by Magic Coat and the Muzzled status condition. Being a sound-based move, it is blocked by Soundproof.

Super Smash Bros. series

Sing is Jigglypuff's up special. The move puts all ground-bound users near Jigglypuff to sleep, and does not affect players in the air. The more damage the opponent has taken, the longer they sleep. Unlike most up specials, Sing does not act as a recovery move.

Pokémon Rumble Rush

In Pokémon Rumble Rush, all status moves including Sing could only be used by opposing Pokémon and could not be obtained on any caught Pokémon. Sing could be seen as a move used by Boss Igglybuff.

Pokémon Masters EX

Notes:

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Sing is Wigglytuff's second move. It is obtained by evolving from Jigglypuff at level 4 and upgrading Defense Curl into it instead of Defense Curl. The user begins singing, slowing enemies around them and increasing the user's movement speed. Enemies that stay inside the song's effect for too long will be put to sleep for 1.4s, and have their Defense and Special Defense reduced by 25% while asleep. At level 12, the amount of time enemies are asleep is increased by .2s.

Monopoly: Pokémon Exclusive Kanto Edition

In the exclusive edition of Monopoly: Pokémon Kanto Edition, Sing is the Power Card belonging to Jigglypuff. Once per game, at the end of their turn, the player using Jigglypuff may immediately take another turn, ostensibly by making every other player fall asleep.
