Triage in Battle

Triage is a priority-boosting ability that elevates healing moves by 3 priority stages, effectively turning them into moves that will almost always go first in battle. This means that moves like Heal Pulse, Floral Healing, and Healing Wish gain the same priority as Quick Attack or other standard +1 priority moves, but with an even higher boost. The ability specifically targets moves classified as healing moves, which includes both self-healing and moves that heal allies.

The ability is exclusively found on Comfey, a Fairy-type Pokemon that serves as a unique support option in doubles formats. Triage transforms Comfey into an extremely fast medic, capable of providing immediate healing support to teammates before opponents can react. This makes it particularly valuable in doubles play where keeping key Pokemon healthy can be crucial for maintaining offensive pressure or defensive cores.

What makes Triage especially notable is how it interacts with Comfey's movepool and stats. While Comfey lacks impressive offensive capabilities, Triage allows it to function as a premier support Pokemon that can reliably heal allies faster than opponents can typically respond. The ability's consistent +3 priority boost means that even against other priority move users, Comfey's healing moves will generally take precedence, making it a dependable source of recovery in fast-paced battles.
