How to Use Zen Headbutt

Aim Properly

Proper aiming is the most important skill to hone when using Zen Headbutt since the move needs to hit a target for it to actually do anything. That said, finding the best angle to use the move increases the chances of Zen Headbutt hitting a target.

Utilize the Damage Reduction Effect

Once upgraded, Zen Headbutt reduces the damage taken by Metagross if the move hits a target. This mechanic is useful when diving enemies in the frontlines.
