Power-Up Punch Effect

Power-Up Punch In-Game.jpg

Charges power before unleashing a powerful attack. While the user is charging power, its movement speed is decreased but its Attack slowly increases and the damage it receives is reduced. The user then charges in the designated direction and releases this move, dealing more damage the lower the opposing Pokemon's remaining HP is and making its own next basic attack a boosted attack if the move hits. This move's cooldown is reduced every time one of the user's moves hits.

How to Use Power-Up Punch

Engage in Fights

Pokemon UNITE - Lucario Engaging with Power-Up Punch

This move is basically a combination of Quick Attack and Meteor Mash. But, one bonus is the upgrade Standard Attacks receive after using this move. Charge into opponents and auto-attack them to deal some nice extra damage.

Filling the Gauge is Unecessary

Although you can get the move's maximum range when you fill the gauge up to the marker, you can skip the charge and activate Power-Up Punch normally for a quick attack and dash. Keep this in mind when you need a quick burst of damage when taking on opponents!

Immediately Activate Other Move

Pokemon UNITE - Lucario Using Close Combat After Power Up Punch

Power-Up Punch's cooldown can be drastically shortened when it is followed up with another move. This particuarly effective when paired with Close Combat as each punch that lands reduces Power-Up Punch's cooldown. Alternatively, using Bone Rush stuns your target and will reset cooldowns once you teleport, allowing you to repeatedly use Power-Up Punch and your upgraded Standard Attack.
