Move Detail

Power-Swap Move Detail

Power Swap is a Psychic-type status move with no power and perfect accuracy. Unlike damaging moves, Power Swap does not inflict direct damage. Instead, it exchanges the user's Attack and Special Attack stats with those of the target. This strategic move can shift the tide of battle, especially when the user or the target has significantly altered their stats through boosts or drops. Power Swap can be particularly effective in disrupting opponents who rely on stat boosts or in enhancing the user's offensive potential.
