Sacred Sword Effect

Has the user slash around itself as if drawing a circle with the tip of its sword, dealing damage to oppsing Pokemon in the area of effect and decreasing their movement speed. The user then unleashes a slashing attack inside the circle, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits and leaving them unable to act. After this move hits an opposing Pokemon, the user's Attack is increased for a short time and damage dealt by the user's moves and basic attacks partially ignores the opposing Pokemon's Defense. When this move is boosted with Aeos energy, its area of effect is increased, and the time until the slashing attack is unleashed is reduced.

Stuns for 0.2 Seconds

Sacred Sword's stun lasts for 0.2 seconds.

How to Use Sacred Sword

Set Up with Other Moves

Since Sacred Sword doesn't need a target to activate, it's best to use Zacian's other moves like Quick Attack, Agility, or Play Rough to set up Sacred Sword.

Utilize the Bonus Effects

After using Sacred Sword, Zacian's Attack stat increases, and the Pokemon partially ignores opponents' Defenses. Utilize these effects by following up with Zacian's other moves or attacks.

Keep Enemies Inside the Circle

As much as possible, try to keep enemies within the circle's radius long enough until the move's second slash activates. Doing so deals a decent amount of burst damage to all enemies inside the circle.
