In Pokemon Legends Z-A, Gunk Shot is a powerful attack that can deal heavy damage to opponents, with a 30% chance of leaving them poisoned. Unfortunately, it won’t poison Pokemon that are Poison- or Steel-type (since they have the Immunity ability) or are protected by a Substitute. The move can be taught using TM100, which can be obtained by defeating Corbeau in the game.

Megahorn is a strong Bug-type move in the game, capable of dealing massive damage to opponents. Scolipede learns the attack at level 56, making it a great late-game addition to its moveset. With an impressive base power of 120, the attack also has a Z-Move effect, which further increases its base power to 190.

Iron Defense is a Steel-type move that increases the Pokemon's defense by two stages and can thus max out the stat (till the sixth stage) in only three uses. It was introduced in Generation 3, and the critter learns it at Level 1.

Finally, Toxic is a Poison-type move that goes perfectly with Scolipede's playstyle. This attack poisons the target, causing them to lose huge HP at the end of each turn. The critter learn this move at Level 36.
