How it works in Gen IX
Fails if the target did not select a physical attack, special attack, or Me First for use this turn, or if the target moves before the user.
“This move enables the user to attack first with a jolt of electricity. This move fails if the target is not readying an attack.”
In-game text, Scarlet & Violet
