Foul Play uses the opponent's Attack stat instead of the user's in damage calculation. In other words, the move acts as if the target is attacking themselves, and thus is more powerful when the opponent has higher Attack.
When a Pokémon is holding Darkinium Z and uses its Z-Power, Foul Play turns into Black Hole Eclipse and has base power 175.
