Victory-Star
Victory Star is a unique ability exclusive to the Pokémon family of Victini, specifically Victini itself. This ability boosts the accuracy of all the Pokémon on its side of the battlefield by 10%. This increase can significantly enhance the reliability of moves with lower accuracy, making it a strategic asset in battle scenarios.
Effects and Mechanics: - Accuracy Boost: The primary effect of Victory Star is to enhance the accuracy of all moves used by the Pokémon and its allies by 10%. For example, a move with an accuracy of 70% would be increased to 77%. - Team Utility: Unlike many other abilities that only affect the Pokémon with the ability, Victory Star provides a team-wide benefit, offering distinct strategic advantages in double or multi-battle formats. - Qualitative Impact: Moves with typically low accuracy, such as Fire Blast, Thunder, and Stone Edge, become more reliable, allowing for more aggressive and riskier move choices effectively.
