TM171	Tera Blast	Special	80	100	10	If the user has Terastallized, it unleashes energy of its Tera Type. This move inflicts damage using the Attack or Sp. Atk stat—whichever is higher for the user.
TM173	Charge	Status	-	-	20	The user becomes charged, boosting the power of the next Electric-type move it uses. This also boosts the user's Sp. Def stat.
