Trick Effect

Trick In-Game.jpg

Hoopa creates a link between itself and an ally Pokemon using a ring, increasing both of their movement speeds and granting them each a shield for a short time. When Hoopa uses Shadow Ball or performs a basic attack, the ring on the linked Pokemon also unleashes the same move or attack. Hoopa can also use this move on itself, increasing Hoopa’s movement speed and granting itself a shield for a while. Additionally, it increases the damage dealt by Shadow Ball.

How to Use Trick

Target All-Rounders and Attackers

Although any allied Pokemon can be a good Trick target, All-Rounders and Attacker are the best Trick targets since they greatly benefit from the its buffs. All-Rounders are usually fighting in the frontlines during teamfights, having a shield and a movement speed buff prolongs their combat and helps win it. Meanwhile, Attackers deal incredible damage but are fragile, the shield and movement speed from Trick alleviates their squishiness a little.

Use on Self When Needed

You can cast Trick even without a target, allowing you to either escape enemies or chase them.

Use Before Using Rings Unbound

Since your moveset changes when using Rings Unbound, always use Trick before using your Unite Move. This ensures that you and one of your allies benefit from Trick's buffs for a duration before the move is replaced.

Spam Shadow Ball or Phantom Force

While you're linked to an ally, use Shadow Ball or Phantom Force whenever they're available to make the most out of Trick's effects.

Keep Attacking

Constantly attacking while linked to an ally doubles the damage you deal with a single attack since the ring from the linked ally replicates your attacks. You can equip Muscle Band to increase your damage and perform more attacks while linked.

oh yeah wait the speed boost part already says it in the wiki i forgor, also if you use trick on an ally pokemon and then use shadow ball, ally pokemon's shadow ball does around 50-60% less damage
