Sucker Punch deals damage and has a priority of +1. However, the move only works if the target uses a direct attack in the same turn. If the target is not preparing an attack, Sucker Punch will fail.

Moves with a higher priority always go first, regardless of a Pokémon's speed. If two moves with the same priority are used, the faster Pokémon goes first as usual.

When a Pokémon is holding Darkinium Z and uses its Z-Power, Sucker Punch turns into Black Hole Eclipse and has base power 140.
