Hex Effect

Has the user disappear and move to the designated location, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect. If this hits an opposing Pokemon, that is afflicted by a status condition, it deals increased damage and its cooldown is reduced. The user's next basic attack after this move becomes a boosted attack.

How to Use Hex

Burst Down Enemies Inflicted with Sludge Bomb

Pokemon UNITE - Sludge Bomb and Hex Combo

Hex allows you to teleport and deal damage to any Pokemon within the target location. The damage is increased and the cooldown is significantly reduced whenever you hit a Pokemon that is inflicted with at least one Status Effect. Starting with a Sludge Bomb leads to extremely high burst damage and lets you chase down fleeing opponents with ease. This makes Gengar an excellent ally to pair up with Pokemon that inflict Status Effects such as Pikachu and Venusaur.

Avoid Damage

Hi! We appreciate your comment. After testing this out, you are correct. Shadow Ball into Hex does not decrease Hex's cooldown, but Sludge Bomb does. However, we do not know if this is another bug, or if it's intended. We have to wait for future patches to see if this would be addressed.

Seems to not work with Shadow Ball, only statu effect can reset cooldown
