Skill Swap is a status Psychic-type move which swaps the user's Ability with its target.
This niche move is used to essentially remove certain Pokemon's weakness in Doubles, although the setup will take a few turns.
A great example for this is for a Pokemon with Levitate to swap its Ability to a Fire or Electric-type Pokemon, which removes its weakness to Ground-type moves.
This move can also be used to reset the weather by copying a weather-changing Ability.
Take note that Skill Swap will not work on Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed Pokemon.
Skill Swap (TR40) is available to purchase from the Watt Traders in the Wild Area for 1000 Watts.
The Watt Traders' selection of TM and TRs changes everyday so make sure to check what's in stock!
It's also possible to get Skill Swap (TR40) from Psychic-type Max Raid dens as a reward for defeating or catching the resident Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokemon.
It's also possible to get Skill Swap (TR40) from the Cram-o-Matic, although the chances are still low even when using the right items.
