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 buddy moves, but not sync moves or max moves.
