When to Use X Attack

Applying Heavy Damage

Use X Attack before going all-in with your attacks and moves to deal greater damage to enemy Pokemon. It's particularly lethal in the hands of burst damage Pokemon such as Absol or Zeraora as the added damage boost lets them instantly obliterate squishy opponents with a single combo. You can also use it to increase damage in a teamfight or gain the upper hand in a 1-on-1 duel with an enemy Pokemon.

Farming Wild Pokemon

Use X Attack when farming to speed up the process and get levels as fast as possible. The damage bonus coupled with the attack speed increase allows all Pokemon to farm faster. Using it early on is not a problem since players are more focused on farming in the early phases of a match.

The test was conducted in the Practice Area using Wigglytuff, which has a physical attack, and Alolan Ninetales, which has a special attack, to raise the attack and special attack for a duration. The damage was computed with and without the X Attack effect at level 15 against a Pokemon with no Held Items. The test has shown that the increase differs depending on the move.

Basic Attack Increased from 1.1 to 1.2 Times, and Moves Vary

As a result of the test, the damage multiplier for basic attacks increased from 1.1 to 1.2 times after the August 8 Patch Update. The damage multiplier for moves vary from 1.05 to 1.15 times depending on the Move.

Increased Healing for Shell Bell Test

Without X Attack With X Attack
Healing is 511 Healing is 598
Healing increased by about 17%.

The purpose of this test was to determine if the healing effect from Shell Bell increases when X Attack is activated since it increases the Sp. Atk. of the Pokemon. The test was conducted in Practice Area by ordering the Pokemon to cast a move on the dummy with and without X Attack activated, and note if there is an increase in the healing from Shell Bell (Level 20). The healing from Shell Bell (Level 20) without X Attack activated was 511. When X Attack was activated the healing increased to 598, about a 17% increase.

As a result of the test, it is confirmed that the healing from Shell Bell increases when X Attack is activated. Pikachu is one of the ideal Pokemon to pick that can maximize this interaction. Having the bonus attack and special attack from X Attack, the enhanced healing from Shell Bell, and Pikachu's low cooldown moves increases not only its kill potential but also its sustainability within the 8 second duration of X Attack.
