Zap Cannon (Japanese: でんじほう Electromagnetic Cannon) is a damage-dealing Electric-type move introduced in Generation II. It was TM07 in Generation II.

Effect

Generations II and III

Zap Cannon has a power of 100 and paralyzes the target every time it hits.

Zap Cannon can be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra four appeal points if either Charge or Lock-On was used in the prior turn.

Generation IV onwards

Zap Cannon's power was raised to 120.

Pokémon with the Bulletproof Ability are immune to Zap Cannon.

Zap Cannon can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing Hex and Smelling Salts to give extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.
