Competitive Analysis

Work Up has the effect of raising Attack and Special Attack by one stage. This move can be helpful for offensive teams, but it is recommended to use Swords Dance and Nasty Plot that raise Attack and Special Attack respectively for two stages since most Pokemon focus on one type of attack.
