How to Use Adaptability / Pixilate

Use Hyper Voice or Mystical Fire

The quickest and best way to stack up on Pixiiate's effects is using either Hyper Voice or Mystical Fire, allowing Sylveon to deal damage while benefitting from its effects.

Use Fairy Frolic for Survivability

Since receiving damage can also trigger and raise Pixelate's effects, utilizing Fairy Frolic's healing and shielding helps you maintain Pixiiate's max effects.
