Intrepid-Sword

Intrepid Sword is an ability primarily associated with the Legendary Pokémon Zacian, specifically in its Crowned Sword form. This ability sharply heightens Zacian's offensive capabilities right from the start of the battle.

Effects:

  • Attack Boost: Upon entering the battlefield, a Pokémon with the Intrepid Sword ability receives an automatic increase in its Attack stat by one stage. This boost significantly enhances the Pokémon's physical attacking power, making its moves more formidable.
  • Immediate Offensive Advantage: The ability allows Zacian to exert immediate pressure on its opponents, potentially turning the tide of battle right from the outset. This initial boost makes Zacian one of the most potent offensive threats in the game.

Strategic Implications:

  • Synergy with Moveset: Zacian typically wields powerful physical moves such as Behemoth Blade, Play Rough, and Close Combat. The initial Attack boost from Intrepid Sword amplifies the damage potential of these moves, often enabling Zacian to secure crucial knock
