Z-Move

Artwork for Z-Moves

A Z-Move (Japanese: Ｚワザ Z-Move) is a special type of move in which a 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 battle.

Two items are required to perform a Z-Move: a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal. Z-Crystals have different varieties corresponding to the different types. In order to perform a Z-Move, a Trainer must wear a Z-Ring with a Z-Crystal set into it, and their Pokémon must hold a Z-Crystal of the same type as the one in its Trainer's Z-Ring. The Pokémon must also know a move of the same type as the Z-Crystal it is holding.

Z-Moves were introduced in Generation VII.
