Red Illusion Dive Effect

Red Illusion Dive In-Game.jpg

Has the user dash before throwing consecutive punches at a designated Pokemon on the opposing team, decreasing that Pokemon's movement speed. As the last punch is thrown, five illusory copies of the user are created that each dash a set distance from the user. If a copy hits an opposing Pokemon while dashing, it deals damage, decreases that Pokemon's movement speed, then disappears. For a short time, this move can be used again. If this move is used again, the user dashes in the designated direction and deals damage to opposing Pokemon it hits before punching the ground, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect. If the user hits a Pokemon on the opposing team while dashing, the user grabs that Pokemon and continues dashing. If the grabbed Pokemon hits an illusory copy, it will be left incapacitated.

UNITE Move Effect

After using Red Illusion Dive, the Pokemon gains the following buff(s) for a few seconds:

How to Use Red Illusion Dive

Initiate Fights

Use Red Illusion Dive to initiate a fight. The damage you deal should give you some HP advantage over your target when a fight breaks.

Utilize the Time Window

Similar to Green Illusion Dive, don't be in a rush to use the second activation. Use the time to do some combos before ending the move.

Use on Grouped Enemies

Another way to effectively use Red Illusion Dive is by using it on enemies that are close to each other. The reason for this is that the illusions you create after throwing the punches will deal damage and slow enemies that they collide with as they dash outwards. Having enemies hit by these illusions essentially turns the move into an area-of-effect move rather than a typical single-target sure-hit move.

Shove a Target Towards an Illusion

When shoving a target with Red Illusion Dive's second activation, be sure to push them towards an illusion to stun them. You should also take advantage of the stun by finishing off the target or setting up a knockout for your allies.
