Power Up Punch

Fighting

Summary

Power-Up Punch is a Fighting-type move with 40 power and 100% accuracy. When used, it deals damage to the opponent and raises the user's Attack stat by one stage. This dual utility makes it a valuable move for Pokémon that benefit from both direct damage and the potential to become stronger in subsequent turns. Power-Up Punch was introduced in Generation VI and is particularly effective for setting up physical sweepers, allowing them to boost their attacking capabilities while chipping away at the opponent's health.

Effect

Short Effect: Raises the user's Attack by one stage after inflicting damage.
