Ally-Switch Move Detail
Ally Switch is a Psychic-type status move with no power or accuracy value, as it does not deal damage. When used, it causes the user to swap positions with its ally in double and triple battles. This move can be strategically employed to dodge attacks or reposition Pokémon for advantageous matchups. In recent generations, Ally Switch has gained popularity in competitive play due to its unpredictability and ability to disrupt opponents' targeting strategies. It has a priority of +2, meaning it often goes before many other moves in a turn.
