A '''Z-Move''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚ|ゼット}}ワザ''' ''Z-Move'') is a special type of [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]] in which a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and their Pokémon's wishes combine to unleash an attack comprising the full power of both. These moves are very powerful, but they can only be used once per {{pkmn|battle}}.

There are three different kinds of Z-Moves: Z-Moves which can be used by any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, with one Z-Move for each of the 18 [[type]]s; status moves that have been turned into Z-Moves by one of the 18 type-specific Z-Crystals; and Z-Moves that can only be used by specific Pokémon. The Z-Move that a Pokémon can perform depends on the [[Z-Crystal]] it [[held item|holds]]. There are 18 different Z-Crystals that correspond to each of the 18 types, and several others that correspond to specific Pokémon. Z-Moves work by powering up one of the Pokémon's normal moves, so the Pokémon must also know an appropriate move. For the type-related Z-Crystals, the Pokémon must know a move of the same type as the Z-Crystal it is holding. For the Pokémon-specific Z-Crystals, the move required differs for each Pokémon.

A [[Z-Ring]] is also required in order to perform Z-Moves. A Pokémon can only use a Z-Move if its Trainer is wearing a Z-Ring and has the same Z-Crystal the Pokémon is holding.

==Mechanics==
When using Z-Move in the games, a special cutscene is shown, then a Trainer and its Pokémon have to perform a certain poses. This cutscene cannot be deactivated, even if battle animations is turned off.

Z-Moves draw upon the {{PP}} of the Pokémon's original moves in order to execute. When the Z-Move option is chosen in battle, a list of Z-Moves overlays the Pokémon's original list of moves, with each compatible move in the Pokémon's original moves overlain by a Z-Move option that draws upon that move.

Z-Moves based on attack moves have no numerical accuracy (so cannot miss) and derive their [[damage category|category]] ([[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]]) and [[power]] from the original move. For example, a {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} based on {{m|Nuzzle}} (with a power of 20) will have a power of 100 and be a physical move, while one based on {{m|Thunderbolt}} (with a power of 90) will have a power of 175 and be a special move. If the Pokémon knows more than one compatible move, it will be able to choose among different versions of the Z-Move with different stats. However, the move that will cause the greatest amount of damage will shine yellow.

Damaging moves upgraded into Z-Moves cannot be fully protected against by moves like {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}}, instead dealing 25% of the original damage. Z-Moves may be used without regard to the effects of {{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Torment}} and {{m|Encore}}; however, the Pokémon never has an opportunity to use a Z-Move if it is forced to use {{m|Struggle}} (e.g. if it is affected by Taunt and only knows [[status move]]s). 

Z-Moves based on [[status move]]s are enhanced versions of the original moves, having a Z- prefixed to the start of the status move's name. They have the effects of the original status move, as well as a the effect of '''Z-Power''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚ|ゼット}}パワー''' ''Z-Power'') which is executed before the move itself. For example, Z-{{m|Splash}} also boosts the user's {{stat|Attack}} by 3 stages, while Z-{{m|Parting Shot}} also restores the switch-in ally's HP by 100%.

Exclusive Z-Moves require a specific move, rather than being able to be upgraded from any damaging move of a particular type. Due to having a specific base move, they have a fixed [[damage category|category]] ([[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]]) and [[power]].

Despite only being able to be used once per battle, they can be {{m|disable}}d by {{a|Cursed Body}}; if this occurs, the move that was upgraded into a Z-Move is unaffected.

The types of Z-Moves are unaffected by {{cat|Abilities that can modify move types|type-modifying Abilities}}.

===Power===
With the exception of {{m|Mega Drain}}, {{m|Bonemerang}}, {{m|Weather Ball}}, {{m|Hex}}, {{m|V-create}}, {{m|Flying Press}}, and {{m|Core Enforcer}}, the powers of the type-specific damaging Z-Moves follow the following conversion table for base moves that have fixed powers.

==Z-Power effects of status moves==
When a status move is upgraded into a Z-Move, it may also gain a Z-Power effect in addition to its regular effect. Additionally, when used as a Z-Move, all {{cat|moves that call other moves}} convert the called move into its corresponding Z-Move.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Pikachu Gigavolt Havoc.png|thumb|200px|Gigavolt Havoc]]
Z-Moves first appeared in the {{series|Sun & Moon}} in episode ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', with {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} able to use {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} with the help of Kiawe's [[Z-Ring]] and {{DL|Z-Crystal|Firium Z}}.

{{Ash}} and [[Ash's Pikachu|his Pikachu]] gain the ability to use the Z-Move {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', with Ash's Z-Ring and Electrium Z. After perfecting the move, though, the Electrium Z shattered, leaving them unable to use the move again.  

<!--==In the manga==
-->

==Trivia==
* The ''Z'' in ''Z-Move'' is derived from ''zenryoku'' ('''{{tt|全力|ぜんりょく}}''', "full power/force").
