Sacred Sword

Fighting

Summary

Sacred Sword is a Fighting-type move with 90 power and 100% accuracy. It ignores the target's stat changes when calculating damage, making it particularly useful against opponents that have boosted their defense or evasion. Sacred Sword is a signature move of several Legendary Pokémon like the Swords of Justice (Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, and Keldeo). This move is favored in competitive play for its reliability and the tactical advantage provided by bypassing stat changes.
