Pursuit deals damage, and hits with double power if the target is switching out.
In that case, Pursuit technically has priority +7, meaning it attacks before all other actions and moves.
When a Pokémon is holding Darkinium Z and uses its Z-Power, Pursuit turns into Black Hole Eclipse and has base power 100.
