How it works in Gen IX

Deals damage two turns after this move is used. At the end of that turn, the damage is calculated at that time and dealt to the Pokémon at the position the target had when the move was used. If the user is no longer active at the time, damage is calculated based on the user's natural Special Attack stat, types, and level, with no boosts from its held item or Ability. Fails if this move or Future Sight is already in effect for the target's position.

“Two turns after this move is used, a concentrated bundle of light blasts the target.”
