Acrobatics is Flying-type charged move. These are the stats for PvP and PvE play for this charged move.

  • Acrobatics PvP Stats:
    • Damage: 110
    • Energy: 60
  • Acrobatics PvE Stats:
    • Damage: 100
    • Energy: 100
    • Duration: 2 seconds
    • Damage Start: 0.6 seconds
    • Damage End: 1.7 seconds

When comparing acrobatics to other Flying-type moves, it closely aligns with other attacks, such as Moonblast, Outrate, and Payback. However, of the comparable attacks, Moonblast is the only one with a notable debuff, potentially reducing an opponent’s attack by one rank. Acrobatics, and the other moves, do not have this effect.

As far as Flying-type attack moves go, it’s not amazing. There are other more solid choices, such as brave bird, fly, or sky attack. Acrobatics doesn’t blow Flying-type moves out of the water, but when it expands to other Pokémon, it might become a superior attack, but we’d like to see it require less energy or even give a debuff to the target when used.

It’s an attack introduced on Hoppip’s February 2022 Community Day event and went exclusively to Jumpluff. However, we can expect this attack to branch out to other Pokémon in the future.
