Shift Gear

Steel

Summary

Shift Gear is a Steel-type status move with no power or accuracy rating, as it does not deal direct damage. When used, Shift Gear increases the user's Speed stat by two stages and their Attack stat by one stage. This move is particularly useful for Pokémon that rely on outspeeding opponents and hitting them hard, making it a popular choice in competitive play for setting up sweeps. Pokémon like Klinklang often use Shift Gear to enhance their effectiveness in battle.
