Guard Swap

Psychic

Summary

Guard Swap is a Psychic-type status move with no power and perfect accuracy. It does not deal damage, but instead, it swaps the user's Defense and Special Defense stats with those of the target. Guard Swap can be particularly strategic in battles, allowing a Pokémon with lower defenses to bolster its survivability by copying the defensive stats of a bulkier opponent. It can also be a way to weaken an opponent that relies on high defenses. This move adds a layer of complexity to competitive play, giving players an edge with the right timing and strategy.

Effect
