Effect Summary

Deals damage and always lands a critical hit stat img

Detailed Effect

Zippy Zap deals damage and always results in a critical hit stat img if it hits the target.
Zippy Zap has increased priority meaning it will move before the vast majority of other moves.
If another Pokémon uses a move of the same priority, the Pokémon with the higher Speed stat img will go first.
  • From Gen 8 onwards this move can not be selected in battle.
    Despite that, it has been changed to 10 PP and 80 power. Zippy Zap also increases the user's Evasion stat img by one stage instead of always resulting in a critical strike.
    Stats stat img can be raised to a maximum of +6 stages each.
