Initiative is a Fairy-type move introduced in v1.0 of Horizon 'Mons, and Wave 2 of New Dawn.

Initiative triggers Dawnian Falinks formation. In its offensive form, this attack has a 30% chance of lowering the target's Special Attack stat by one stage. In its defensive form, this attack becomes a status move that raises the user's Special Attack and Special Defense stats by one stage each.

Depending on their formation, Falinks either attack by focusing a beam that may lower the target's Sp. Atk stat or they increase their Sp. Atk and Sp. Def stats by calming their minds.

Initiative is the signature move of Dawnian Falinks
