Moves
Move timings, descriptions, upgrades, and hidden detail text.
Intrepid Sword
If the goal scoring button is held down, Zacian charges its sword with Aeos energy. For a short time, its basic attacks become boosted attacks. In addition, during this time, Zacian can use a boosted version of one of its moves once (this use does not share the same cooldown as the base move). The longer the goal scoring button is held down, the more Aeos energy is charged into the sword, lengthening the duration of the boost effect on basic attacks and moves. This Ability goes on an 8s cooldown after it’s triggered.
Attack
When basic attacks are performed consecutively within 2s, additional effects are applied depending on the stage of the consecutive attack. If a Move is used, Intrepid Sword is activated, or Intrepid Sword expires, the time to perform the next consecutive attack is extended.
Slash
Slashes target Pokémon and deals a small amount of damage to nearby Pokémon. When this move is boosted with Aeos energy, its area of effect is increased, deals increased damage and also slows of Pokémon hit by 60% for 0.5s.

Sovereign Sword
Has the user ready its giant sword, charge the sword with Aeos energy, and then unleashes an Unstoppable slash in front of itself. The user becomes Hindrance Resistant, applying a 10% self slow while the Unite Move button is held down and the user is in its ready stance. The longer the user is in this stance, the more Aeos energy is charged into the sword, and the more damage this move deals. If a set amount of Aeos energy or more is charged into the sword, the Unite Move becomes boosted, and the slash’s area of effect increases. This boosted Unite Move deals increased damage to opposing Pokémon it hits who have been buffed by their own Unite Move.
