Effect

Dragon Cheer increases the user's allies' critical-hit ratio by one stage. If the affected Pokémon are Dragon-type, their critical-hit ratio is increased by two stages instead. The effects of Dragon Cheer can be copied by Psych Up, Transform, Costar, Opportunist, and a Mirror Herb.

Dragon Cheer's effects apply based on the allies' type upon use of the move, and do not change if the allies' type changes later in battle. Prior to version 3.0.1, the effect of Dragon Cheer would remain even if switched in.

The move will fail if there is no adjacent ally, or if the ally is already under the effects of Focus Energy or Dragon Cheer.

Pokémon Champions

Dragon Cheer is now a sound-based move.

Other effects

A Dipplin that knows this move will evolve into Hydrapple when leveled up.

Dragon Cheer

Pokémon	Move Icon	Image	Level Learned	Cooldown	Description
Latias			6	8s	Has the user rally the designated ally Pokémon, granting itself and that Pokémon a shield. If the rallied ally Pokémon is Latios, movement speed is also increased. The rallied ally Pokémon's next attack deals additional damage. This move can be used again to rally a second designated ally Pokémon. If this second usage rallies the same ally Pokémon as the first, the user also flies to that Pokémon and rallies itself. Upgraded to Dragon Cheer+ when the Pokémon reaches Lv. 12. Upgrade: Strengthens the effect of the shield granted by this move.

Trivia

• Dragon Cheer was temporarily banned in official tournaments, due to the bug in Scarlet and Violet 3.0.0 that caused the boost to remain on switching out. The ban was lifted on the release of 3.0.1.
