Tail Glow raises the user's Special Attack by three stages.
Stats can be raised to a maximum of +6 stages each. Assuming no other stat changes, the first use of Tail Glow would raise Special Attack to 2.5× normal value, and the second to 4× (the maximum level).
When a Pokémon is holding Buginium Z and uses its Z-Power, Tail Glow turns into Z-Tail Glow and eliminates any stat drops applied to the user, in addition to its usual effect as above.
