Play Rough Effect

Has the user leap in the designated direction, dealing damage to an opposing Pokemon it hits and leaving it unable to act. For a short time after the user lands, the user takes reduced damage from the opposing Pokemon it dealt damage to. When this move is boosted with Aeos energy, the user leaps further and will no longer stop in place when hitting an opposing Pokemon, and all opposing Pokemon hit along the leap's path will receive damage and be left unable to act.

How to Use Play Rough

Initiate Fights

Use Play Rough to initiate fights. The move's stun effect is a great way to set up for Zacian and its allies' moves.

Traverse Walls

Play Rough can also be used to move through walls. Just make sure Zacian is near enough to the wall or object to successfully move through them.

Utilize the Damage Reduction Effect

Since Zacian takes reduced damage against opponents hit by Play Rough, it's best to keep pressuring targets after using Play Rough. The damage reduction effect might just be what Zacian needs to win the fight.
