Pokémon	Method
User	First Used In		Notes
	Mareanie's Trainer strikes a series of poses to build up Z-Power. Mareanie then leaps into the air and a spiraling sphere of purple, red, and black energy forms above its head. Mareanie then throws the sphere at the opponent, and it expands into a miniature black hole. The opponent is sucked into the black hole, which shrinks to a much smaller size, causing it to explode.
