Malicious Moonsault (Japanese: ハイパーダーククラッシャー Hyper Dark Crusher) is a damage-dealing Dark-type Z-Move introduced in Generation VII. It is the exclusive Z-Move of Incineroar and a transformed version of its Darkest Lariat.

Malicious Moonsault inflicts damage. If the target has used Minimize, Malicious Moonsault deals double its regular damage.

Description

Learnset

Incineroar can use Malicious Moonsault if it knows Darkest Lariat, holds an Incinium Z, and if its Trainer wears a Z-Ring.

In the anime

Professor Kukui/The Masked Royal Incineroar

Pokémon	Method
User	First Used In		Notes
	Incineroar strikes a series of synchronized poses with its Trainer to build Z-Power. Its body then becomes surrounded in yellow-orange fire and it jumps into the air, landing chest-first onto the opponent and causing a big explosion.
Professor Kukui's Incineroar	Pushing the Fiery Envelope!		Debut Base move is Darkest Lariat

Trivia

• Despite its English name, Malicious Moonsault actually has Incineroar doing a 450° splash rather than a moonsault.
• An enhanced version of this move, "Max Malicious Moonsault"[1], is featured as Incineroar's Final Smash in the upcoming fighting game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Before landing on his opponent, Incineroar would dash forward, grab the first opponent it touches, and throw them into the side of the Boxing Ring, where the opponent rebounds back. Incineroar then delivers a powerful uppercut, sidekick, and punch to the opponent before moving on top of them and slamming them down in the middle of the ring, making a large explosion when it hits the ground. This Final Smash functions similarly to the Mii Final Smash, "Omega Blitz."
