How to Use Flowing Fists

Activate When a Fight Starts

It's best to activate Flowing Fists only once a fight starts, otherwise, opponents can simply disengage and wait out the duration.

Rack Up on Hits Before Ending the Move

Try hit your opponents as many times as possible during Flowing Fists duration to increase the number of attacks for the second activation. Remember that it takes three (3) hits to increase the number of attacks by one (1).

Note:

Hitting wild Pokemon won't increase the number of attacks for the second activation, it only works with Pokemon from the enemy team.

Use Surging Strikes and Liquidation
