How to Use Weakness Policy

The Weakness Policy has the effect of raising the Attack and Special Attack by two stages of the holder when hit by a super-effective move.

This move works well with Pokemon that have weak coverage, or that are weak against those that are prevalent in the current meta. An example user of this is Necrozma (Dusk Mane) which works well with its Prism Armor Ability.
