On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VI Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Geomancy (Japanese: ジオコントロール Geocontrol) is a non-damaging Fairy-type move introduced in Generation VI. It is the signature move of Xerneas.

Effect

The user charges the move on the first turn. On the second turn, the user's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed increase by two stages.

The held item Power Herb can allow its holder to use Geomancy in one turn, then Power Herb is consumed in the process. If the user falls for Taunt while charging, the move will fail on the next turn.

Description

Games Description The user absorbs energy and sharply raises its Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats on the next turn.
