Effect: Chance to paralyze depends on the ratio (r) of the user's weight to the target's weight:
- If r > 5, 50% chance to paralyze
- If 5 ≥ r > 4, 40% chance to paralyze
- If 4 ≥ r > 3, 30% chance to paralyze
- If 3 ≥ r > 2, 20% chance to paralyze
- If r ≤ 2, 10% chance to paralyze
Additionally, if the target of this move has used Minimize, the move bypasses accuracy checks and has double power.
Z-Effect: 160 BP
Target: Single Adjacent
Zaggron weighs 206.3 kg (454.8 lbs) non-Mega and 241.3 kg (531.9 lbs) Mega.
In base form, that means a 50% chance to paralyze foes less than 41.2 kg, 40% chance to paralyze 41.2-51.4 kg foes, 30% chance to paralyze 51.5-68.6 kg foes, 20% chance to paralyze 68.7-103.0 kg foes, and 10% chance to paralyze everything else.
In Mega form, that means a 50% chance to paralyze foes less than 48.2 kg, 40% chance to paralyze 48.2-60.2 kg foes, 30% chance to paralyze 60.3-80.3 kg foes, 20% chance to paralyze 80.4-120.5 kg foes, and 10% chance to paralyze everything else.
Simply put, Ionic Crash is a reliable Electric-type coverage move that, like how Heat Crash and Heavy Slam take advantage of how lighter foes tend to be more frail, takes advantage of how lighter foes tend to be more reliant on Speed.
