Summary

Blunder Policy is a held item introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield. It activates when the holder's move fails due to missing the target. Upon activation, the Blunder Policy increases the holder's Speed stat by two stages (equivalent to a 100% increase in Speed).

This item is particularly useful in competitive play for Pokémon that utilize moves with lower accuracy, such as Focus Blast or Thunder. The Speed boost can be pivotal, allowing the user to outspeed opponents that they normally wouldn't and potentially turn the tide of battle.

Some interesting facts about Blunder Policy include:

  1. Strategic Risk: Its activation depends on the gamble of using inaccurate but powerful moves, adding a layer of strategy as trainers must weigh the risk of missing against the potential reward of a significant Speed boost.

  2. Synergy with Abilities: Pokémon with abilities that already boost Speed, like Speed Boost or Swift Swim, can use the Blunder Policy to achieve even higher Speed tiers,
