Effect
Techno Blast inflicts damage and has no secondary effect. The type of Techno Blast depends on the type of Drive held by the user, being Normal-type if there is none held, and Electric, Fire, Ice, or Water with the appropriate Drive.
Techno Blast is unaffected by Normalize, Pixilate, Refrigerate, and Aerilate. However, it is affected by Ion Deluge (if the move would be Normal-type) and Electrify.
Generation V
Techno Blast's base power in this generation is 85.
Generations VI
Techno Blast's power was changed from 85 to 120.
Generation VIII
Pokémon Sword and Shield
In Versions 1.0 to 1.2.1 of Pokémon Sword and Shield, Techno Blast could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.3.0, it is usable and functions the same as it did in the previous generation.
If the user Dynamaxes, the move is displayed as Max Strike, but becomes the Max Move of whichever type of Drive it is holding when used.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Generation IX

Sygna Suit Hilbert & Genesect
Notes:
Techno Blast always displays as a Bug-type move in menus and in battle due to Sygna Suit Hilbert & Genesect's passive skill Bug Shift. However, the type of damage dealt by Techno Blast varies due to their passive skill Hilbert's Plan:
If the opponent's weakness type is Fire, Techno Blast deals Fire-type damage.
If the opponent's weakness type is Water, Techno Blast deals Water-type damage.
If the opponent's weakness type is Electric, Techno Blast deals Electric-type damage.
If the opponent's weakness type is Ice, Techno Blast deals Ice-type damage.
If the opponent has any other weakness type, Techno Blast deals Bug-type damage.
