From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom (Japanese: ムーンライトブラスター Moonlight Blaster) is a damage-dealing Ghost-type Z-Move introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. It is the exclusive Z-Move of Lunala and Dawn Wings Necrozma and an upgraded version of their signature move, Moongeist Beam.

Effect

Generation VII

Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom inflicts damage, ignoring all 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 Multiscale and Friend Guard.)

Generation VIII onwards

Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom cannot be selected in a battle.

Description

Lunala or Dawn Wings Necrozma, or a Pokémon transformed into either, can use Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom if it knows Moongeist Beam, holds a Lunalium Z, and if its Trainer wears a Z-Power Ring.
