Smack Down Effect

Has the user charge power, then use its hammer to send a rock flying to the designated location, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon at the rock's point of impact and applying a slowing effect to them. The longer power is charged, the farther the rock can fly. The stronger the hammer, the farther the rock can fly.

How to Use Smack Down

Utilize Smack Down's Long Range

Smack Down's range becomes extremely long when Tinkaton has maxed out on Mold Breaker stacks. Although the move is quite underwhelming compared to the others, having a long-ranged damage move opens new strategies for Tinkaton, such as sniping objectives from a safe distance.

With this in mind, it is important to quickly build up Mold Breaker stacks as fast as possible to make the most out of Smack Down.

Release Immediately for Quick Damage

Only Smack Down's range increases as the move is charged. Its damage remains the same regardless of whether it's charged or not. With this in mind, releasing the move's button immediately instead of charging it up is a great way to deal damage quickly.

Smack Down Patch History
