#fairium z

okay so i have a pixilate sylveon with fairium z

it knows moonblast and hyper beam

activating fairium z turns moonblast into twinkle tackle, but not hyper beam because despite pixilate its technically a normal move

i was up against a lopunny in the battle tree. i used hyper beam, but it missed or something, i dont remember. i said ah fuck it, and chose to use the z stone with moonblast. however lopunny used encore, which would make me use hyper beam again. but because i had clicked the z stone... the move i ended up using was twinkle tackle??? it one shot the lopunny but tbh i think either move would have... so i dont know which move was z moved??? maybe a z move is used through an encore? like if i was under an encore to use quick attack but selected hydro vortex, would i use hydro vortex anyway?

what i think happened was like... i was gonna use the z power that turn no matter what. if i had used a fire z move but encore made me use quick attack, i would have wasted the z power, losing it for the rest of the match, and just used quick attack

and so i used the fairium z but the attack would come out as the encored hyper beam, which is a normal move and i’d have wasted my z move

and since i can’t directly z-power-up hyper beam... it must count as a normal move at some point... and pixilate must be calculated in sometime between selecting the move and it being used. so i think what happened was i selected to use the z move, i got encored to use hyper beam, i did the z-dance and “wasted” the z stone, and the attack that came out was, of course, remade into a fairy type move... and so it actually used twinkle tackle. 

now i know hyper beam is a bad move but like i just wanted to test in battle if fairium z + hyper beam was possible. i found out that normally it is not... but apparently i think i used a z-hyper beam... with pixilate... did i just z-power-up a 180 base power move? into what, like a 200 or 250 or whatever i have no fucking clue how z moves are calculated... plus STAB??? like??? did i just fucking maul this poor lopunny that used encore? did i just hit this fucking rabbit with a fucking planet? is that what happened?
