Dragon Tail Effect

Dragon Tail In-Game.jpg

Has the user shove opposing Pokemon and move itself backward a short distance. Afterward, the user's next basic attack becomes a boosted attack. A maximum of two uses can be kept in reserve for this move.

How to Use Dragon Tail

Apply Dragon Pulse Stacks

Much like Metal Claw, you can apply Dragon Pulse stacks to enemies in a line using Dragon Tail.

Utilize the Move Back Effect

You can utilize Dragon Tail's move back effect by creating space between you and an enemy, discouraging them from getting closer. You can also use it to propel yourself forward when chasing an enemy.

Traverse Walls

Dragon Tail's move back effect also allows you to traverse walls. This can be useful when hurrying towards enemy goals to score. However, you need to be close to the wall for it to work.

Utilize Boosted Attacks

Your attacks become boosted attacks whenever you use Dragon Tail. You can perform combos with this effect and deal significant damage.

Hit Enemies Multiple Times

Dragon Tail's damage increase each time it hits an enemy. Utilize this effect against a single target for a quick burst of damage.
