What is the Blunder Policy?

Raises Speed When A Move Fails

If a Pokemon holding this item fails to land a move (ie, it misses), its Speed stat will rise two stages! This gives you a serious cushion if you miss an ability, allowing you to probably go first the next turn.

One-Time Use Item

The Blunder Policy is consumed when its effect is triggered. However, it will not disappear when doing the Battle Tower or online battles, so do not worry.

How to Get The Blunder Policy

Buy It At The BP Vendor

The Blunder Policy can be purchased for 20 BP at the BP Vendor located in the Battle Tower.

Not As Popular As Weakness Policy

In terms of Policies, Weakness Policy seems to be the better choice of the two in the current meta. This is largely because Dynamax provides a large HP cushion to soften the blow of super-effective moves, and because Weakness Policy provides a more substantial offensive boost.

List Of Recommended Pokemon

Pokemon	Reason
Excadrill	Works well with Horn Drill or Fissure. If they land, you can OHKO! If they don't, you get a big speed boost the next turn to go first.
Gengar	Works well with Hypnosis - if it misses, Gengar has a massive speed boost and can just rely on regular moves to fight.
