Effects
The power of Frustration is higher when the Pokémon likes its trainer less. The base power varies between 1 (maximum Friendship) and 102 (minimum Friendship). The exact formula is:
Power = (255 - Friendship) ÷ 2.5
Pokémon Friendship (aka Happiness) is a value between 0 and 255 (more details).
Frustration is the counterpart move to Return.
Z-Move effects
When a Pokémon is holding Normalium Z and uses its Z-Power, Frustration turns into Breakneck Blitz and has base power 160.
