Dragon Quest Monsters 1 & Dragon Quest Monsters 2[edit | edit source]

Zap, as the spell was referred to in the Eidos localization, deals 70~90 damage to all enemies for 10 MP. To learn the spell, a monster needs to have the natural capacity to do so if it hasn't been bred into it, as well as being at level 15 with a wisdom stat of 130.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker[edit | edit source]

Zapple's base damage is 66~74, and will reach its limit of 234~242 once the caster's Wisdom hits 699. It costs 6 MP to cast, and is learned from several skill trees.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2[edit | edit source]

Zapple has a base range of 66~73 damage and a maximum range of 243~249. It can no longer be learned from Sage. It can now be learned from:

Terry's Wonderland 3D & Iru and Luca's Marvelous Mysterious Key[edit | edit source]

Zapple costs 6 MP and has a base range of 66~73. The power will increase as the monster's Wisdom stat rises over 100, dealing 228~252 at 699 Wisdom.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3[edit | edit source]

Zapple has the same aspects as in the previous two Monsters games.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince[edit | edit source]

Zapple costs 13 MP and is learned through the Just Ruler, Zap Afficionado, and Zap Virtuoso talents. It has a base power of 35 and will deal an average of 165 damage at 499 wisdom.

Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below[edit | edit source]

GameDescription
A striking flash of lightning that zaps any enemy nearby.

Zapple is the second tier spell of both Luceus and Aurora and can be learned by investing 10 skill points. By charging up their Zap spell for a short time, they can cast Zapple for 14 MP, which summons lightning bolts to strike down enemies in front of them. As the two level up more, they will be able to upgrade the spell and learn Kazap. Also, like all lightning spells and techniques, Zapple can short circuit monsters from the machine family.

Dragon Quest Treasures[edit | edit source]

Zapple sends out a bolt of lightning that can damage a single enemy multiple times if positioned correctly, and costs 11 MP to cast. It is learned by fiery draglings, jade slimes, red giants, she-slimes, and Elys.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit | edit source]

Zapple can be learned naturally by ewwnicorn at level 22, silvapithecus at level 24, raving lunatick at level 36, and Lime slime at level 42. It costs 16 MP to use, has a range of three squares away from the user, and deals moderate Zap-type spell damage to one enemy. It can also be taught to any unit by using an ability scroll.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit | edit source]

Zapple appears as the Hero's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, in which it costs 18 MP to cast and hits twice: the first for 6% and the second for 14%. It is a quick electrical attack with good range and a disjointed hitbox, meaning it cannot be reflected or absorbed. Holding the special button down will turn Zap into Zapple, and holding the special button down for longer will turn this move into Kazap.
