Swagger Effect

Raises the target’s Attack by two stages, then confuses it. If the target’s Attack cannot be raised by two stages, the confusion is not applied.

“The user enrages and confuses the target. However, this also sharply boosts the target's Attack stat.”

Target: One other Pokémon on the field, selected by the trainer.
