'''Critical Countdown''' (Japanese: '''技急所時ＢＣ加速''' ''Buddy Countdown Acceleration When Move is a Critical Hit'') is a family of {{mas|skill}}s in {{g|Masters EX}}.

==Effect==
When a Pokémon with this skill lands a [[critical hit]], the user's [[sync move]] countdown has a chance of being lowered by one. The skill can range from Critical Countdown 1 to Critical Countdown 4, with higher numbered skills resulting in a higher chance of lowering the sync move countdown. The skill applies to the Pokémon's usual attack moves, including [[File:Buddy Move Icon Masters.png|20px|link=]] [[buddy move]]s, but not [[sync move]]s or [[File:Dynamax icon.png|20px|link=]] [[Max Move|max moves]].
