Dragon Cheer (Japanese: ドラゴンエール Dragon Yell) is a non-damaging Dragon-type move introduced in Generation IX. It is TM226 in Generation IX.

Effect

Dragon Cheer increases the user's allies' critical hit ratio by one stage. If the affected Pokémon are Dragon-type, their critical hit ratio is increased by two stages instead. The effects of Dragon Cheer can be copied by Psych Up, Transform, Costar, Opportunist, and Mirror Herb.

Dragon Cheer's effects apply based on the allies' type upon use of the move, and do not change if the allies' type changes later in battle. The effect of Dragon Cheer will remain even if switched in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet version 3.0.0, but it will be removed by switching in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet version 3.0.1 and onward.[1]

The move will fail if there is no adjacent ally, or if the ally is already under the effects of Focus Energy or Dragon Cheer.

Other effects

A Dipplin that knows this move will evolve into Hydrapple when leveled up.

Description

Games Description
SV The user raises its allies’ morale with a draconic cry so that their future attacks have a heightened chance of landing critical hits. This rouses Dragon types more.
