Sacred Sword stats added to Game Master

Sacred Sword stats have been added to Game Master, revealing how strong Cobalion’s new move truly is. Sacred Sword is a Fighting type move, typically associated with the Swords of Justice group.

Cobalion with Sacred Sword will be available in Raid Battles from Tuesday March 17 2020, at 1:00 p.m. to Monday March 23 2020 at 1:00 p.m. (PDT). Trainers will also have a chance to encounter Cobalion as a GO Battle League reward encounter during this time.

Sacred Sword stats

Sacred Sword looks like a solid move in PvE, as it’s a 3 bar move with crazy low cooldown. If tied with a better Pokémon than Cobalion, it could be an excellent Fighting type raiding move. In PvP, Sacred Sword looks like a Body Slam clone – you can spam with it, but doesn’t deal a lot of damage. Possible for shield baiting.
