Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Using Upper Hand

Upper Hand is essentially a priority move that counters priority moves, as it makes the target flinch only if it is about to use one.

This means that if the target is about to use moves like Sucker Punch or Fake Out, Upper Hand will be used first and make the target flinch.

Do note that the move will fail if the target is not readying a priority move, so try to get a read of your opponent if you plan on using Upper Hand!
