Phoebe Proof Phoebe’s power includes intuitive fighting
People have debated whether or not Phoebe’s power includes the intuitive dodging and some claim it’s just headcanon or assumptions but I think this is real proof:
In the Charmed intros for seasons 1-3 there is a specific format for the sisters… 2 examples of their powers and then their headshot and actress name.
Seasons 2 & 3 show Phoebe’s second clip as dodging an energy ball. Why would they show two examples of powers for each sister and then Phoebe show a random clip? Especially since season 1 Phoebe’s two clips are both premonitions.
This isn’t just a coincidence. This is the show’s way of saying definitively that Phoebe’s power/advancement was indeed her ability to predict moves in real time without a full blown premonition.

Whomever is arguing against it never payed attention in later seasons; specially season 7, in the episode where Piper and Phoebe try to switch powers so Phoebe can show her utopia.
Phoebe guides her neighbor to try and sense the incoming energy balls.
A few episodes later, Zankou further explains how Phoebe’s power of premonition is what enables the sisters’ heightened reflexes to be able to anticipate threats and incoming attacks.
So it’s literally cannon.
