For a short time after switching from Shield Forme to Blade Forme, the Pokémon's movement speed and basic attack speed are further increased.

| The user slashes at opposing Pokémon in front of itself, dealing damage to them. If the boost count is one or more, the user's basic attack becomes a boosted attack that changes as follows: When in Blade Forme, the user swiftly pierces through opposing Pokémon, dealing damage. When in Shield Forme, the user rams opposing Pokémon, dealing damage and leaving them unable to act for a short time. Additionally, the attack restores the user's HP and reduces the cooldown of Sacred Sword and Shadow Claw when it hits. Every boosted attack consumes one boost count. |

Has the user thrust its blade into the ground, creating a triangular zone. The triangular zone erupts with a hidden power, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect and throwing them. Also increases the boost count, and the greater the number of opposing Pokémon that are damaged, the more the boost count increases. When the move deals damage to wild Pokémon, the boost count increases by a maximum of two; when it deals damage to Pokémon from the opposing team, the boost count increases without limit. At the same time as the eruption, the user slashes forward, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon that it hits. For a short time after this slash hits, damage dealt by the user partially ignores the Defense of all opposing Pokémon.
Upgrade at Level 11: Increases the user's Attack for a short time if the triangular zone deals damage to opposing Pokémon. |

Has the user focus in place for a short time to create a great shield on itself. When the great shield appears, the boost count increases by one, and the user shoves opposing Pokémon in front of itself and receives a shield effect. While the great shield is present, if the user is attacked by an opposing Pokémon, the boost count increases by one. If the user is attacked again by a different opponent, the boost counter further increases by one. The boost count can increase by a maximum of two due to attacks from opposing Pokémon.

Has the user barrel in the designated direction, dealing damage to any opposing Pokémon it hits. Also increases the boost count by one, and the user protects itself with a special shield for a short time afterward. This shield doesn't protect the user from hindrances, but it can nullify damage. When the shield blocks an attack, it disappears and the user's boost count is increased by one.
Upgrade at Level 13: Also increases the user's Attack for a short time when an attack is blocked by the special shield. |
