Bounce Effect

Has the user charge power, then bounce to the designated location and attack. The longer power is charged, the farther the user can bounce. If power is charged for a certain amount of time or longer, the user is granted a shield when it bounces, and the user applies a movement speed decrease to opposing Pokemon it hits when it lands.

How to Use Bounce

Charge Up for Maximum Distance

Always charge up Bounce to maximize the distance Gyarados will travel. Simply hold down the move's button to increase the dash distance before releasing it.

Remember that Gyarados becomes unstoppable while charging up Bounce, making it immune to disables and preventing the move from being cancelled. Gyarados also gains a shield when it charges the move for a certain amount of time, providing extra protection.

Aim for Grouped or Isolated Opponents

Upon landing in the destination using Bounce, Gyarados applies a slow to opponents hit by the move. This slowing effect is a great way to initiate fights against grouped opponents or to focus on an isolated target.
