- Dazzling Gleam – Deals damage to opposing Pokémon and, if opposing Pokémon are hit by the outer edge of the flash, increases the user’s speed for a short time.
- Fairy Wind – Deals damage to nearby opposing Pokémon. This move can be activated a second time and does additional damage as well as throws the opponent.

At level 7, this attack can be upgraded into one of the following moves:
- Smart Strike – Deals damage to the opposing Pokémon and leaps in a designated direction, pushing the opponent in the opposite direction.
- Agility – Increases the user’s speed, which will continue to increase gradually over a set amount of time. Duration will increase if it hits an opposing Pokémon.
Its Unite Move is Triad Blitz, which starts with a charge in a designated direction, pushing opposing Pokémon, and then creates a triangular space which traps the first Pokémon that was hit.
