'''Sunsteel Strike''' (Japanese: '''メテオドライブ''' ''Meteor Drive'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Steel}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}} {{p|Necrozma}}.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], it can be upgraded to the special [[Z-Move]] {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}} by Solgaleo or Dusk Mane Necrozma holding [[Solganium Z]].

==Effect==
{{main|Ignoring Abilities}}
Sunsteel Strike inflicts damage, ignoring all {{DL|Ignoring Abilities|ignorable Abilities}} during the execution of that move. (Ignorable Abilities are most Abilities that could potentially negatively affect the success, damage, or effects of a move if possessed by the target of a move or its allies—such as {{a|Multiscale}} and {{a|Friend Guard}}.) However, it does not ignore Abilities if it is called by {{cat|moves that call other moves|another move}} rather than directly used.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Sunsteel Strike cannot be selected in a battle.
