On Smogon's Movedex: Generation IX

Electro Shot (Japanese: エレクトロビーム Electro Beam) is a damage-dealing Electric-type move introduced in Generation IX. It is the signature move of Archaludon.

Effect

On the turn it is selected, Electro Shot will raise the user's Special Attack stat by one stage, and the message "[User] absorbed electricity!" will be shown. On the following turn, Electro Shot will do damage (factoring in the Special Attack boost), PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Electro Shot is selected, the user won't be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed. Electro Shot will not need a turn to charge if used during rain.

Sleep, freezing, binding, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Meteor Beam.

If a Power Herb is held by the user, Electro Shot can be executed in one turn.
