Power Trick (Japanese: パワートリック Power Trick) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Reason: Do its effects remain after Mega Evolution?
You can discuss this on the talk page.

Generation IV

Power Trick switches the user's Attack stat with its Defense stat; however, any boosts or reductions that have been applied to those stats are not switched. Using Power Trick again will remove the effect. The effect of Power Trick may be Baton Passed (swapping the recipient's stats).

Generation V onwards

Power Trick can now be stolen by Snatch. If Aegislash uses it, Power Trick's effects will be cancelled as soon as its Stance Change triggers.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Power Trick, the user's Attack stat rises one stage.
