==Effect==
==Effect==
Power Swap switches any changes to the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat and {{stat|Special Attack}} stat with any changes to the target's Attack stat and Special Attack stat. The effect of Power Swap can be {{m|Baton Pass}}ed.
Power Swap switches the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat stages and {{stat|Special Attack}} stat stages with the target's Attack stat stages and Special Attack stat stages. Since this changes stat stages, the stat stages can be passed via {{m|Baton Pass}}.
 
Power Swap bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.
 
If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Psychium Z}} into Z-Power Swap, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat raises one stage.

Power Swap (Japanese: パワースワップ Power Swap) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Power Swap switches the user's Attack stat stages and Special Attack stat stages with the target's Attack stat stages and Special Attack stat stages. Since this changes stat stages, the stat stages can be passed via Baton Pass.

Power Swap bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Power Swap, the user's Speed stat raises one stage.
