Sacred Sword Effect

Sacred Sword In-Game.jpg

Has the user thrust its blade into the ground, creating a triangular zone. The triangular zone erupts with a hidden power, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect and throwing them. Also increases the boost count, and the greater the number of opposing Pokemon that are damaged, the more the boost count increases. When the move deals damage to wild Pokemon, the boost count increases by a maximum of two; when it deals damage to Pokemon from the opposing team, the boost count increases without limit. At the same time as the eruption, the user slashes forward, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon that it hits. For a short time after this slash hits, damage dealt by the user partially ignores the Defense of all opposing Pokemon.

How to Use Sacred Sword

Hit Multiple Targets

Make sure to hit multiple Pokemon when using Sacred Sword, giving you a chance to fill up its boost count to the max. Once this happens, remember to follow up with a barrage of boosted attacks.

Targets Should be Inside the Triangle

One technique to ensure you hit multiple Pokemon is to make sure that your targets are inside the triangle marker when using Sacred Sword. Never use it at melee range, this won't increase your boost count nor stun enemies.

Jump Over Walls

Much like Shadow Sneak, you can also traverse walls using Sacred Sword. However, since it has a longer range, it allows you to cover more ground.
