What are Moves With Secondary Effects?

Moves With Additional Properties

Moves that have secondary effects are skills that has an additional effect that accompanies the damage it deals. Given that there are more properties to these effects, moves with secondary effects often have low power.

However, the additional utility more than makes up for its lack of damage. Oftentimes, most builds use these moves as a foundation for their setup!

Movesets and Best Builds

Sheer Force Interaction

Having a Pokemon with Sheer Force allows you to remove the secondary effect and replace it with a +30% base damage multiplier. This lets Pokemon with this ability use moves that are otherwise ignored by other Pokemon.
