Summary

Breaking Swipe is a Dragon-type move with 60 power and 100% accuracy. When used, it not only deals damage to the opponent but also lowers the Attack stat of all opposing Pokémon by one stage. This move is particularly useful in battles requiring control over the opponent's offensive capabilities, adding a layer of strategy by weakening the physical attackers on the field.
