Relentless (Japanese: たたみかける Not Letting Up) is a skill in Pokémon Shuffle.

Activation

This skill activates only when the foe has a status condition.

Note that certain types are immune to certain status conditions. Immunities are indicated by X's in the chart below:

Effect

When activated, this skill multiplies damage for the entire combo, if the enemy has a status condition.

  • However, if this skill is activated on the last turn that the status condition is active, then damage is only boosted for the first match, as the enemy will no longer have the status condition from the second match of the combo onwards.

Only the first match is affected by skill level. The remainder of the combo will always use the multiplier from skill level 1.

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.
