Effects

Autotomize raises the user's Speed by two stages and reduces its weight by 100kg (to a minimum of 0.1kg). Stats can be raised to a maximum of +6 stages each.

Decreasing weight affects these moves:

Grass Knot (lower damage when receiving)
Heat Crash (lower damage when attacking, higher damage when receiving)
Heavy Slam (lower damage when attacking, higher damage when receiving)
Low Kick (lower damage when receiving)

The effect of the weight change cannot be Baton-Passed (but the Speed change is passed as normal).

Z-Move effects

When a Pokémon is holding Steelium Z and uses its Z-Power, Autotomize turns into Z-Autotomize and eliminates any stat drops applied to the user, in addition to its usual effect as above.
