Zap Cannon
ElectricSummary
Zap Cannon is an Electric-type move with 120 power and 50% accuracy. Despite its low accuracy, Zap Cannon has the unique and beneficial effect of guaranteeing paralysis if it hits the target. This move can be a game-changer in battles, especially in contexts where spreading paralysis can cripple faster opponents and provide strategic advantages. Due to its powerful effects but unreliable accuracy, Zap Cannon is often used situationally rather than as a primary Electric-type attack.
Effect

Short Effect: Has a 100% chance to paralyze the target.
