How it works in Champions
On switch-in, this Pokémon is alerted to the move with the highest power, at random, known by an opposing Pokémon. This effect considers moves to have 150 power, Counter, Mirror Coat, and Metal Burst to have 120 power, every other attacking move with an unspecified power to have 80 power, and non-damaging moves to have 1 power.
“When it enters a battle, the Pokémon can tell one of the moves an opposing Pokémon has.”
