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 33% chance of hurting themselves each turn, for 1-4 attacking turns (50% chance in Generations 1-6). 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.

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.
