-Secret Sword inflicts [[physical move|physical]] damage. Despite being classified as a [[special move]], this move calculates damage using the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} and the opponent's {{stat|Defense}} stat (similar to {{m|Psyshock}} and {{m|Psystrike}}).
+Secret Sword inflicts damage. Despite being a [[special move]], Secret Sword uses the target's {{stat|Defense}} instead of its {{stat|Special Defense}} to calculate damage.
-Despite targeting the opponent's Defense stat, the move's damage is unaffected by {{m|Reflect}} and it will not activate {{m|Counter}} or {{m|Shell Trap}}; instead, it is affected by {{m|Light Screen}} and activates {{m|Mirror Coat}}.
+Secret Sword is still a special move. It uses the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} to calculate damage. It activates {{m|Mirror Coat}} (not {{m|Counter}}), has its damage reduced by {{m|Light Screen}} (not {{m|Reflect}}), activates the [[Maranga Berry]] (not the [[Kee Berry]]), etc.
