How to use it
Any Fighting-type attack becomes Max Knuckle 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 Chi Strike.

How it works in Gen VIII
Boosts the user and its allies' Attack by 1 stage. BP scales with the base move's BP. 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 Fighting-type attack Dynamax Pokémon use. This raises ally Pokémon’s Attack stats.”
