Effect Summary

Deals damage and its power increases when this move has less PP, up to a maximum of 200.

Detailed Effect

Trump Card deals damage and bypasses accuracy stat img and evasion stat img checks to always hit except when the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as Dig or Fly.
Trump Card's power is based on how much PP is left after the move is used.
If a move that calls other moves is used to perform Trump Card such as Metronome that moves remaining PP will be used to determine the power.
The table below shows the power based on remaining PP.
Power PP left
after use
40 more than 4
50 3
60 2
80 1
200 0
Trump Card's power is also affected by Pressure.
  • From Gen 8 onwards this move can not be selected in battle.
