Effect Summary

Deals damage and removes any immunity to

Ground -type and ground effect damage.

Detailed Effect

Smack Down deals damage and causes the target Pokémon to be 'grounded' forcing it to the ground and removing the 'raised' effect (it can now be hit by

Ground -type moves and other ground-based effects).
Smack Down cancells the effects of Magnet Rise and Telekinesis and Air Balloon

.
A target affected by Smack Down can not use Magnet Rise.
Smack Down deals damage but has no additional effect if the target is:

already grounded
in the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop
affected by Gravity or Ingrain
holding an Iron Ball
Behind a Substitute

Unlike most moves, Smack Down can hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop, Fly and Bouce and will cancel the move but does not prevent them from being used in later turns.
