Power-Trick Move Detail
Power Trick is a Psychic-type status move with no power and perfect accuracy. When used, this move swaps the user's Attack and Defense stats, potentially transforming a physically defensive Pokémon into an offensive powerhouse, or vice versa. Power Trick can be strategically used to flip the tide of battle, particularly with Pokémon that have high defense but relatively lower attack stats. Not commonly seen in competitive play, it nonetheless provides a unique and surprising tactical option for creative trainers.
