Beat Up Effect

Has the user charge in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits. The user switches to Dispatch formation, sending out two troopers toward opposing Pokemon it hit. The dispatched troopers will continue to attack the opposing Pokemon for a while, but they will return to the brass after they take a set amount of damage or become separated from the brass by a set distance or greater. A maximum of 2 uses can be kept in reserve for this move.

How to Use Beat Up

Let the Troopers Do the Fighting

When using Beat Up, Falinks' gameplay will be sending out troopers to attack targets. Since Falinks switches to Dispatch formation when it uses Beat Up, the troopers have some momentary autonomy, and the brass can perform actions without involving the troopers. In this case, the troopers will do most of the fighting while the brass assists them.

Note:
While in Dispatch formation, troopers who are separated from the brass will also gain the bonuses and trigger any effects of Held Items equipped.

Dispatch Troopers on Multiple Targets

Since Beat Up has two charges, Falinks can send out troopers to multiple targets at once. One way to take advantage of this mechanic is by using it to farm multiple wild Pokemon or attack two opponents simultaneously.

Use X Attack to Buff Troopers

When X Attack is used, the troopers that are dispatched will also gain the effects of the battle item. Although not a must, it is definitely beneficial for Falinks to equip and use X Attack when using Beat Up.

X Attack Effect and How to Get

Use Megahorn While in Dispatch Formation

Using Megahorn while Falinks is in Dispatch formation has the brass dash towards the designated direction, which is how the move normally works, while all troopers who are separated from the brass attack with their horns towards the direction their facing.

In this case, Falinks can hit multiple opponents with Megahorn simultaneously with the help of the troopers. Using Megahorn while in Dispatch formation is a great way for the troopers to deal more damage before returning to the Column formation.

Note:
The troopers will only attack with their horns if the brass hits a target with Megahorn.

Regroup with Troopers Using Iron Head

When Falinks uses Iron Head while in Dispatch formation, the brass and all troopers who are separated from it will leap to the designated location and Falinks will automatically return to the Column formation. In this case, using Iron Head is essentially a way for Falinks to regroup and reset things.

However, the damage dealt by Iron Head and its shoving effect while in Dispatch formation also makes it a great offensive tool in general.

Note:
Iron Head is objectively the better choice when using Beat Up to allow troopers to quickly regroup with the brass.
