A '''Z-Crystal''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚ|ゼット}}クリスタル''' ''Z-Crystal'') is an [[item]] required to upgrade [[move]]s to [[Z-Move]]s through the use of a [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}.


[[File:Z-Crystal artwork.png|thumb|120px|Artwork of a Z-Crystal]]
In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Z-Crystals play an important role in the [[island challenge]], as they provide proof of completing trials and grand trials, much like [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s in other regions, though not all Z-Crystals are obtained in this manner. Like [[Sparkling Stone]]s, the objects that are crafted into Z-Rings and Z-Power Rings, Z-Crystals are pieces of {{ga|Necrozma}} that had chipped off and traveled to Alola through [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Z-Crystals are described as crystalized forms of [[Z-Power]].
A '''Z-Crystal''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚ|ゼット}}クリスタル''' ''Z-Crystal'') is an [[item]] required to upgrade [[move]]s to [[Z-Move]]s.


During the game, the player can obtain Z-Crystals for their [[Bag]], which will be stored in a dedicated Bag section. These Z-Crystals can be used to create [[held item]]s of the same name at will. A held Z-Crystal is automatically removed if the Pokémon is [[trade]]d between players; however, some Pokémon received from [[in-game trade]]s may be holding a Z-Crystal the player already has.
During the game, the player can obtain Z-Crystals for their [[Bag]], which will be stored in a dedicated Bag section. These Z-Crystals can be used to create [[held item]]s of the same name at will. A held Z-Crystal is automatically removed if the Pokémon is [[trade]]d between players; however, some Pokémon received from [[in-game trade]]s may be holding a Z-Crystal the player already has. This is in contrary to lore, where the Trainer will only need to own one Z-Crystal on their Z-Ring/Z-Power Ring, channeling the Z-Power onto their Pokémon.
 
Holding a Z-Crystal makes {{p|Rayquaza}} unable to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. If {{p|Arceus}} holds a type-specific Z-Crystal, its [[type]] changes to correspond to the Z-Crystal via its {{a|Multitype}} ability; unlike with [[Plate]]s, however, its [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}, remains unaffected.
 
==Early concept and design development==
[[File:Z-Crystal Proto.png|thumb|left|220px|Early Z-Crystal design]]
[[File:Z-Crystal Proto 2.png|thumb|220px|Early Z-Power design]]
A video focusing on the sound and music design of {{g|Sun and Moon}} showcases an early build from 2015.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydWfZFx0iXE|Sound Roster -Behind the Scene- #2 GAME FREAK]." Yamaha Music Japan MPP. ''YouTube''. </ref> In this build, Z-Crystals seem to have had a different appearance, being 8-sided as opposed to being 5-sided. Instead of a 2D symbol representing a type, there was a 3D shape.
 
The animation for receiving a Z-Crystal shows another symbol rather than the usual [[Z-Power]] symbol used in the final version. Early concept art for the original Sun and Moon titles in the [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon Essentials Concept Art Book]] features a page on [[Z-Ring]]s and how they interact with Z-Crystals. This page featured what would eventually become the [[Pikashunium Z]], the Z-Crystal for [[Pikachu in a cap]]. This early Z-Crystal design had originally been designed to look like an entire {{p|Pikachu}}, rather than just its tail.

[[File:SM114 Z-Crystals.png|thumb|250px|Various Z-Crystals in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Z-Crystals first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where a [[Firium Z]] appeared on {{an|Kiawe}}'s [[Z-Ring]]. He obtained it by completing [[Olivia]]'s grand trial. Later in the same episode, {{Ash}} received an [[Electrium Z]] with his Z-Ring, from {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}. However, in [[SM002|the following episode]], it shattered after Ash performed {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} with {{AP|Pikachu}}.
 
As revealed in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', the [[island challenge]] is one way of obtaining Z-Crystals, though it is not necessarily the only way a Trainer can obtain them. Ash's goal in [[Alola]] was to complete the island challenge and collect the Z-Crystals in order to prove himself worthy of the power of [[Z-Move]]s.
 
A full set of replicas of the type-specific Z-Crystals were also shown to Ash and {{ashcl}} by Professor Kukui in ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]''.
 
===={{aniseries|SM}}====
* Ash obtained a [[Normalium Z]] from a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}} after completing the [[Verdant Cavern]] trial in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]''. He first used it to use {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} in ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]'', together with Pikachu.
* [[Hala]] used his [[Fightinium Z]] with his {{p|Hariyama}} in his grand trial challenge with Ash in ''Trial and Tribulation!''. Later in the episode, Ash obtained another Electrium Z from Tapu Koko after it swapped the Fightinium Z he was supposed to receive from Hala as a reward for completing his Melemele grand trial.
* {{TRT}} obtained a [[Darkinium Z]] in ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]'', which some {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s also tried to obtain from a nest of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}}, with one of the Raticate being a Totem Pokémon.
* {{an|Gladion}} used his [[Rockium Z]] with his {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} to defeat Team Rocket in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''. He obtained it by completing Olivia's grand trial prior to the episode.
* [[Oluolu]], a famous [[Baseball|Pokémon Base]] player, used his [[Snorlium Z]] in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]''.
* [[Olivia]] was revealed to own a Rockium Z in ''[[SM031|The Island Whisperer!]]''.
* {{an|Lana}} was given a [[Waterium Z]] from a Totem {{p|Wishiwashi}} after completing the [[Brooklet Hill]] trial in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]''.
* Ash obtained a [[Grassium Z]] from a Totem {{p|Lurantis}} after completing the [[Lush Jungle]] trial in ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]''.
* Ash obtained a Rockium Z from Olivia after completing the [[Akala Island]] grand trial in ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]''.
* [[Ida]] used her Waterium Z in ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]''.
* Ash obtained a [[Solganium Z]] from [[Nebby]] after it evolved into {{p|Solgaleo}} in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]''.
* Ash gained the ability to temporarily transform his Electrium Z into a [[Pikashunium Z]] in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', thus allowing Ash to use the Z-Move {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Each time its respective Z-Move is used, the Pikashunium Z reverts to an Electrium Z. After ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]'', it permanently stayed as a Pikashunium Z.
* {{an|Professor Kukui|The Masked Royal}} used his [[Incinium Z]] in ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]''.
* [[Ilima]] received an [[Eevium Z]] from [[Eevee users#Eevee User Kagetora|Kagetora]] after defeating him in a {{pkmn|battle}} in ''[[SM065|Turning Heads and Training Hard!]]''.
* [[Jessie]] obtained a [[Mimikium Z]] from [[Acerola]]'s {{p|Mimikyu}}, Mimikins, in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]''.
* Ash obtained a [[Lycanium Z]] from [[Nanu]] after completing the [[Ula'ula Island]] grand trial in ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]''.
* {{an|Lillie}} received an [[Icium Z]] from an Alolan {{p|Sandslash}} after helping it to defeat a {{p|Tyranitar}} in ''[[SM080|Not Caving Under Pressure!]]''.

* Kiawe received a [[Flyinium Z]] from {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}} in ''[[SM107|Run, Heroes, Run!]]'' after clearing a trial it had set up for him.
* Ash obtained a [[Steelium Z]] from Hapu in ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]'', with his Pikachu picking it as his [[Poni Island]] grand trial prize from a full set of [[type]]-specific Z-Crystals.

In ''[[PASM03|Pokémon Move Specialist Professor Kukui]]'', [[Olivia]] and [[Nanu]] attempted to use their respective Z-Crystals, [[Rockium Z]] and [[Darkinium Z]], to perform their Z-Moves against each other during a practice {{pkmn|battle}} between their {{TP|Olivia|Lycanroc}} and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}}. However, [[Hala]] interrupted the battle before either move could be properly executed. In the same chapter, Hala was also shown being in possession of a [[Fightinium Z]].
 
In ''[[PASM11|Homecoming and the Brilliant Professional Golfer]]'', [[Kiawe]] found a [[Firium Z]] hidden in the fur of {{adv|Sun}}'s {{p|Litten}}, {{adv|Dollar}}.

==In the anime==
====Concept art====
Z-Crystals first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where a Firium Z appeared on {{an|Kiawe}}'s [[Z-Ring]]. Later in the same episode, {{Ash}} received an Electrium Z with his Z-Ring from {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}}, but in [[SM002|the following episode]], it shattered after Ash performed {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} with {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Z-Crystals in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

A Z-Crystal (Japanese: Ｚクリスタル Z-Crystal) is an item required to upgrade moves to Z-Moves through the use of a Z-RingSM or Z-Power RingUSUM.

In the Alola region, Z-Crystals play an important role in the island challenge, as they provide proof of completing trials and grand trials, much like Gym Badges in other regions, though not all Z-Crystals are obtained in this manner. Like Sparkling Stones, the objects that are crafted into Z-Rings and Z-Power Rings, Z-Crystals are pieces of Necrozma that had chipped off and traveled to Alola through Ultra Wormholes. Z-Crystals are described as crystalized forms of Z-Power.

During the game, the player can obtain Z-Crystals for their Bag, which will be stored in a dedicated Bag section. These Z-Crystals can be used to create held items of the same name at will. A held Z-Crystal is automatically removed if the Pokémon is traded between players; however, some Pokémon received from in-game trades may be holding a Z-Crystal the player already has. This is in contrary to lore, where the Trainer will only need to own one Z-Crystal on their Z-Ring/Z-Power Ring, channeling the Z-Power onto their Pokémon.

Holding a Z-Crystal makes Rayquaza unable to Mega Evolve. If Arceus holds a type-specific Z-Crystal, its type changes to correspond to the Z-Crystal via its Multitype ability; unlike with Plates, however, its signature move, Judgment, remains unaffected.

Early concept and design development

Early Z-Crystal design
Early Z-Power design

A video focusing on the sound and music design of Pokémon Sun and Moon showcases an early build from 2015.[1] In this build, Z-Crystals seem to have had a different appearance, being 8-sided as opposed to being 5-sided. Instead of a 2D symbol representing a type, there was a 3D shape.

The animation for receiving a Z-Crystal shows another symbol rather than the usual Z-Power symbol used in the final version. Early concept art for the original Sun and Moon titles in the Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon Essentials Concept Art Book features a page on Z-Rings and how they interact with Z-Crystals. This page featured what would eventually become the Pikashunium Z, the Z-Crystal for Pikachu in a cap. This early Z-Crystal design had originally been designed to look like an entire Pikachu, rather than just its tail.

Various Z-Crystals in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

Pokémon the Series

Z-Crystals first appeared in Alola to New Adventure!, where a Firium Z appeared on Kiawe's Z-Ring. He obtained it by completing Olivia's grand trial. Later in the same episode, Ash received an Electrium Z with his Z-Ring, from Tapu Koko. However, in the following episode, it shattered after Ash performed Gigavolt Havoc with Pikachu.

As revealed in To Top a Totem!, the island challenge is one way of obtaining Z-Crystals, though it is not necessarily the only way a Trainer can obtain them. Ash's goal in Alola was to complete the island challenge and collect the Z-Crystals in order to prove himself worthy of the power of Z-Moves.

A full set of replicas of the type-specific Z-Crystals were also shown to Ash and his classmates by Professor Kukui in A Team-on-Team Tussle!.

In Pokémon Move Specialist Professor Kukui, Olivia and Nanu attempted to use their respective Z-Crystals, Rockium Z and Darkinium Z, to perform their Z-Moves against each other during a practice battle between their Lycanroc and Alolan Persian. However, Hala interrupted the battle before either move could be properly executed. In the same chapter, Hala was also shown being in possession of a Fightinium Z.

In Homecoming and the Brilliant Professional Golfer, Kiawe found a Firium Z hidden in the fur of Sun's Litten, Dollar. After learning the proper Z-Move pose from Kiawe, Sun was successfully able to perform Inferno Overdrive with Dollar during a battle with Gladion.

In Shock!! Father in the Pendant!, Kahili was revealed to have spent six months gathering a multitude of Z-Crystals. In the same chapter, Hau was revealed to have obtained a Primarium Z.

In Transcend!! Ultra Necrozma!, an Ultranecrozium Z found by the Ultra Recon Squad was revealed to have been the cause behind Necrozma's transformation into Ultra Necrozma.
