Swagger

NormalStatus

Swagger confuses the target and raises its Attack by two stages. If one of the two effects cannot be invoked (for example the target is already confused or its Attack is already raised to the maximum of +6 stages), Swagger still works and will invoke the other effect. Confused Pokémon have a 33% chance of hurting themselves each turn, for 1-4 attacking turns (50% chance in Generations 1-6). The damage received is as if the Pokémon attacks itself with a typeless 40 base power Physical attack.
