Work Up

Normal

Summary

Work-Up is a Normal-type status move with no power and perfect accuracy. Instead of dealing damage, Work-Up raises the user's Attack and Special Attack stats by one stage each. It is commonly utilized to boost a Pokémon's offensive capabilities, allowing both physical and special attacks to hit harder. This move is particularly effective for mixed attackers, offering flexibility in moveset strategies. Work-Up is a versatile move appearing frequently in both casual and competitive play, as it can significantly enhance a Pokémon's combat effectiveness over successive turns.
