Zap Cannon is a very inaccurate and very damaging Electric-type move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Generation II and III

Zap Cannon has a base Power of 100 and always paralyzes if it hits.

Generation IV

Zap Cannon has a base Power of 120 and always paralyzes if it hits.

Strategy

As is DynamicPunch, Zap Cannon is a poorly accurate move. Using Lock-On beforehand, however, will ensure Zap Cannon hitting the next turn.

Pokémon

Alakazam. Alakazam hold its spoons in front of its face and they begin to crackle with electrical energy, creating an electrical field between them, which increases in size and power until it launches a bolt of electrical energy towards the target.

Espeon. Espeon creates an electrical field from its mouth and launches it at its target.
