You will need the glide and/or climb abilities for Koraidon to reach this point. Once you find the glowing yellow Poke Ball, grab it and use it to teach your next top offensive sweeper this classic set-up buff!

What Does Swords Dance Do in Pokemon?

Swords Dance raises the user’s Attack stat 2 Stages, essentially giving you a 100% boost for physical attacks. Since it takes up a turn to use, this is the ideal move for offensive sweeper Pokemon wanting to break through any defensive walls their opponents have. Kingambit, Ceruledge, and Baxcalibur are all new Pokemon in Gen IX that use Swords Dance.

With Baxcalibur getting access to Scale Shot for this DLC, adding Swords Dance to its build could make for a deadly dragon. But Swords Dance has been a mainstay for hyper-offense Pokemon since Victreebel in Gen I.
