Final Effort (skill)

Final Effort ラストワン
Last One
Skill
Deals a ton of damage when there are no more moves left.

Final Effort (Japanese: ラストワン Last One) is a skill in Pokémon Shuffle.

Activation

This skill activates only when the "moves" counter reads 0 in a move-based stage, or the time counter reads 00:03 (or 3 seconds) or fewer in a time-based stage.

  • In move-based stages, note that the counter decrements when the player makes a move, and the skill then checks the counter after this decrement. Threfore, the player only has one opportunity to use Final Effort, when the move counter reads 1.
  • Since enemies do not cast disruptions when the move counter reads 0, this means that Final Effort cannot trigger additional activations as a result of disruptions.
  • In time-based stages, it is possible to trigger Final Effort twice by making a move, forcing the board to settle quickly, and making a second move, all within the final 3 seconds of the stage.

Effect

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 damage dealt by the initial match.

Trivia

  • Ignoring skills that scale based on HP, Final Effort can deal the highest damage in a single hit at 81,000. This can be done by Infernape or Litwick (125 attack power) activating max-level Final Effort (36×) with a match of 6 (3×) against a foe that takes supereffective damage (2×) and that is Burned or Spooked (1.5×), with the Attack Power ↑ item active (2×).
    • If HP-scaling skills are counted, then the highest-possible single-hit damage is 1,447,194, from using a 10%-of-HP skill against level 999 of the Latios escalation battle.
