Emergence (move)

Emergence (Japanese: そうはつ;  Sōhatsu , Emergence) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move created by WD for Generation C.

Effect
Emergence raises the user's Special-attack and Defense stats by 1 stage each for every conscious Pokémon in the trainer's party that shares at least one type with the user, referred to as an Emergence circle. The stat increase remains active so long as Pokémon included in the Emergence circle are switched in and out of battle without fainting, being forced to switch out or using or.

Using will pass the increase to any entering Pokémon but will end the Emergence circle. Using Emergence while an Emergence circle is still in effect will cancel out the existing circle and create a new one replacing it.
