Power-Split Move Detail

Power Split is a Psychic-type status move with no power or accuracy rating, as it does not deal direct damage. This move averages the user's Attack and Special Attack stats with those of the target Pokémon, thereby balancing their offensive capabilities. Power Split can be strategically used to weaken an opponent with high offensive stats or to boost a user with lower offensive stats, making it a versatile option in both casual and competitive play. Additionally, it works in conjunction with other moves and abilities, offering a unique way to control the flow of battle.

Effect

Averages the user's unmodified Attack with the target's unmodified Attack; the value becomes the unmodified Attack for both Pokémon. Unmodified Special Attack is averaged the same way. This effect applies before any other persistent changes to unmodified Attack or Special Attack, such as flower gift during sunny day.
