	Rock Smash いわくだき Rock Smash	Learned at Lv. 1 or 3 Cooldown: 6 seconds Upgrades into Wicked Blow or Surging Strikes
Melee	Description
Charges power before punching in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon. The longer power is charged, the more damage this move deals. The user receives reduced damage while charging.

	Wicked Blow あんこくきょうだ Dark Blow	Learned at Lv. 5 Cooldown: 7 seconds Upgrades into Wicked Blow+ at Lv. 11
Melee	Description
Charges power before striking in the designated direction with a fierce blow. The user's next basic attack after hitting an opposing Pokémon with this move becomes a boosted attack. While the user is charging, its movement speed is decreased, but it receives reduced damage and becomes immune to hindrances. If the user charges power for a set amount of time or longer before striking, it deals damage to opposing Pokémon in an area of effect. The lower the opposing Pokémon's remaining HP is, the more damage is dealt. Opposing Pokémon in the center of the area of effect receive a critical hit and are shoved. If the user does not charge power for that set amount of time, it deals damage to opposing Pokémon in an area of effect, decreasing their movement speed, and this move's cooldown is reduced. Upgrade: Further reduces the damage the user receives while charging. Also, when the user strikes after charging power, opposing Pokémon in the center of the area of effect are also left unable to act.

Sure Hit	Description
Has the user dash at the designated opposing Pokémon. Then, if the user designates a direction, it deals damage to the opposing Pokémon and shoves it in that direction. The shoved Pokémon then also deals damage to and throws other opposing Pokémon it hits. But if the user does not designate a direction, it instead deals damage to the opposing Pokémon and throws it, leaving it unable to act when it lands. Using this move will reset Wicked Blow's cooldown.
