Zap Cannon has a base power of 100 and has a 255/256 (~99.6%) chance of paralyzing the target.

Generation III

Zap Cannon now paralyzes the target every time it hits.

Zap Cannon can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 4 bonus appeal points if Lock-On was used in the previous turn.
