Soul-Heart is an ability exclusive to the Magearna line in the Pokémon series. This ability provides a potent boost to Special Attack, making Pokémon with Soul-Heart formidable special attackers.
Effects:
Special Attack Boost: Soul-Heart activates when any Pokémon on the field (whether ally or opponent) faints. When this occurs, the Pokémon with Soul-Heart receives a +1 stage increase in its Special Attack stat. This can occur multiple times in a battle, allowing the Special Attack stat to rise significantly.
Battle Implications:
Strategic Advantage: Given that the boost activates regardless of which side the fainted Pokémon belongs to, players can strategically KO their own weaker, less useful Pokémon to trigger the boost. This can drastically turn the tide of a battle, especially in doubles and multi-battle formats.
Sweep Potential: With consecutive boosts, a Pokémon with Soul-Heart can become an exceptional sweeper, capable of dealing massive amounts of special damage
Effects
This Pokémon's Special Attack rises by one stage every time any Pokémon faints.
