Sprint is a unique ability predominantly associated with swift and agile Pokémon. This ability significantly enhances the user's speed-related attributes, making it an invaluable asset in battles and various in-game activities.
Speed Boost: The primary effect of Sprint is an immediate increase in the Pokémon's Speed stat. Upon entering the battle, a Pokémon with Sprint will have its Speed stat boosted by 50%. This sudden surge allows the Pokémon to outspeed many opponents, giving it a tactical edge.
Priority on Movement: Sprint also grants a higher priority level to moves associated with movement or evasion, such as Quick Attack, Agility, or Double Team. This makes it easier to dodge attacks and strike first, leveraging the speed advantage in battle.
Field Advantage: Outside of battle, Sprint allows the Pokémon to move faster on the overworld map. This can be particularly useful in escaping from wild Pokémon encounters or traversing large areas more efficiently.
