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

Breakneck Blitz (Japanese: ウルトラダッシュアタック Ultra Dash Attack) is a damage-dealing Normal-type Z-Move introduced in Generation VII.

Effect

Generation VII

Breakneck Blitz inflicts damage. Its power and whether it is a special or physical move depends on the move it is based on.

Breakneck Blitz is unaffected by Pixilate, Refrigerate, Aerilate, and Galvanize. However, it is affected by Ion Deluge and Electrify.

If Breakneck Blitz is used during weather with Weather Ball as its base move, it will turn into the Z-Move of the type corresponding to the type Weather Ball would be in that weather. This does not occur if Weather Ball is turned into a Z-Move via another move (e.g. via Z-Sleep Talk).

Generation VIII onwards

Breakneck Blitz cannot be selected in a battle.

Description

Learnset

Any non-Mega Evolved, non-Primal Pokémon can use Breakneck Blitz if it knows a damaging Normal-type move, holds a Normalium Z, and if its Trainer wears a Z-Ring^SM or Z-Power Ring^USUM.

Trivia

• Breakneck Blitz is the first Generation VII move in index number order.
• Despite Z-Moves only ever being usable in the Alola-based games (and not Sketchable even there), the physical version of Breakneck Blitz specifically is one of the moves defined to not be copyable by Sketch, via a new move flag added in version 3.0.0 of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
