Searing Sunraze Smash (Japanese: サンシャインスマッシャー Sunshine Smasher) is a damage-dealing Steel-type Z-Move introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. It is the exclusive Z-Move of Solgaleo and Dusk Mane Necrozma and an upgraded version of their signature move, Sunsteel Strike.

Effect

Generation VII

Main article: Ignoring Abilities

Searing Sunraze Smash inflicts damage, ignoring all ignorable Abilities during the execution of that move. (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 Multiscale and Friend Guard.)

Generation VIII onwards

Searing Sunraze Smash cannot be selected in a battle.

Description
