Z-Move

Z-Moves are powerful attacks a Pokémon can unleash once per battle by holding a Z-Crystal that matches one of its moves. A damaging move becomes a high-power Z-Move, while a status move gains a bonus effect.

Requirements

Using a Z-Move needs a Z-Ring worn by the trainer, the matching Z-Crystal held by the Pokémon, and a compatible move in its moveset. See Z-Crystals for the crystal list.
