Effects
Swagger confuses the target and raises its Attack by two stages.
Stats can be raised to a maximum of +6 stages each.
Confused Pokémon have a 50% chance of hurting themselves each turn, for 1-4 turns. The damage received is as if the Pokémon attacks itself with a typeless 40 base power Physical attack. Pokémon with the ability Own Tempo or those behind a Substitute cannot be confused.
Changes
In Generations 2-6, Swagger has 90% accuracy.
Z-Move effects
When a Pokémon is holding Normalium Z and uses its Z-Power, Swagger turns into Z-Swagger and eliminates any stat drops applied to the user, in addition to its usual effect as above.
Move target
Targets a single adjacent Pokemon.
