Dark Pulse deals damage and has a 20% chance of causing the target to flinch (if the target has not yet moved).

Pokémon with the ability Inner Focus or those behind a Substitute cannot be made to flinch.

When a Pokémon is holding Darkinium Z and uses its Z-Power, Dark Pulse turns into Black Hole Eclipse and has base power 160.
