'''Photon Geyser''' (Japanese: ''' フォトンゲイザー''' ''Photon Geyser'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. It is one of the [[signature move]]s of {{p|Necrozma}}. 

It can be upgraded to the special [[Z-Move]] {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}} by [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma]] holding [[Ultranecrozium Z]].

==Effect==
Photon Geyser deals [[damage]]. If the user's [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] [[stat]] is higher than its [[Stat#Special Attack|Special Attack]] stat, Photon Geyser becomes a [[physical move]]; otherwise it is a [[special move]].

During the execution of Photon Geyser, all {{DL|Ignoring Abilities|ignorable Abilities}} are [[ignoring Abilities|ignored]]. (Ignorable Abilities are most Abilities that could potentially [negatively] affect the success, damage, or effects of a move if possessed by the target of a move or its allies, such as {{a|Multiscale}} and {{a|Friend Guard}}.) However, it does not ignore Abilities if it is called by {{cat|moves that call other moves|another move}} rather than directly used.

For determining which stat is higher, [[Stat modifier|stat stage modifiers]] are taken into account, but other effects (e.g. [[held item]]s such as a [[Choice Band]], Abilities such as {{a|Huge Power}}, etc.) are not.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Photon Geyser cannot be selected in a battle.

===Other effects===
Photon Geyser does not exist in the game data of {{g|Sun and Moon}}. As a result, a Pokémon knowing Photon Geyser cannot be traded from Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon to Sun and Moon, and if a Pokémon in [[Pokémon Bank]] knows the move, it cannot be withdrawn in Pokémon Sun and Moon. In order to be transferred to Pokémon Sun and Moon, the Pokémon must forget Photon Geyser.
