Skill-Swap Move Detail
Skill Swap is a Psychic-type move with no power and 100% accuracy. The primary function of Skill Swap is to exchange abilities between the user and the target. This strategic move can be pivotal in battle, allowing a Pokémon to gain a useful ability or to neutralize a threatening one from the opponent. It does not work on targets with the Multitype ability. Skill Swap is often used in both single and double battles for greater control over matchups and can significantly alter the dynamics of a battle by changing how Pokémon interact with their abilities.
