On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Core Enforcer (Japanese: コアパニッシャー Core Punisher) is a damage-dealing Dragon-type move introduced in Generation VII. It is one of the signature moves of Zygarde.

Effect

Core Enforcer deals damage. If the target has already used a move or been healed by its Trainer in the same turn, Core Enforcer also suppresses the target's Ability while it remains in battle.

The target's Ability will not be suppressed if it is Multitype, Stance Change, Schooling, Comatose, Shields Down, Disguise, RKS System, Battle Bond, or Power Construct.
