Effect

Generations I to V

Swords Dance increases the user's Attack stat by two stages.

Swords Dance can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with certain moves (Crabhammer, Crush Claw, Cut, False Swipe, Fury Cutter and Slash) having their base appeal points doubled if they are used in the next turn.

Generation VI onward

Swords Dance's PP changed from 30 to 20.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Swords Dance, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
