Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Power-Up Punch is Lucario's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 5 and upgrading Quick Attack into it instead of Extreme Speed. The user begins charging power, slowing themself, increasing Attack by up to 200%, and reducing damage taken while preparing to unleash a devastating punch. Upon release, the user lunges – damaging the first enemy hit. Power-Up Punch does bonus damage based on the enemy's missing health, and will cause the user's next attack to be boosted. The cooldown for Power-Up Punch is reduced whenever the user lands a move. At level 11, the user is unstoppable during the charge.

Trivia

  • Wooper, Pupitar, and Fennekin are all able learn Power-Up Punch despite not having arms. This can be explained by the fact that all of them evolve into Pokémon that have arms, and Pupitar also evolves from a Pokémon that already has arms.
