How to use it
Any Bug-type attack becomes Max Flutterby while its user is Dynamaxed. It’s physical or special, as that move is, and its power comes from that move’s. Dynamax is in Sword & Shield, not in Pokémon Champions.
Gigantamax forms with a G-Max Move of this type use that instead: G-Max Befuddle.

How it works in Gen VIII
Power is equal to the base move's power. If this move is successful, the Special Attack of each Pokémon on the opposing side is lowered by 1 , even if they have a substitute. This effect does not happen if the user is not Dynamaxed. If this move is used as a base move, it deals damage with a power of 0.
“This is a Bug-type attack Dynamax Pokémon use. This lowers the target’s Sp. Atk stat.”
