When activated, this skill multiplies the damage of the initial match only.

Other damage multipliers, such as those based on match size, type matchups, or status conditions, are applied as usual. See Pokémon Shuffle → Damage for more details.

Skill level growth

Increasing skill level will increase the activation rate.

  • However, the activation rate for a match of 3 or 5 is always 0%, and will not increase with skill level.

Version history

Version Release date Changes
1.5.0 (3DS) January 9, 2018 Changes the description of Demolish:
  • old: "Attacks sometimes do a ton more damage when you make a match of four."
  • new: "Sometimes deals a ton of damage when you make a match of four."

Trivia

  • Demolish's activation rate at max skill level (89%) is a prime number. Similarly, the amount of skill points needed to max it (61) is also prime. This follows a pattern on Ultra Beasts in the core series, where their base stats and the levels at which they learn moves are prime numbers.
  • Demolish and Beast Power are the only two skills that require a total of 61 skill points to max.
