Z-Ring

A Z-Ring (Japanese: Ｚリング Z-Ring) is a bracelet that allows a Trainer and their Pokémon to gather the Z-Power required to perform Z-Moves. It is made by refining Sparkling Stones. Z-Rings go around a trainer's left wrist, and have a slot in the center where the wearer can insert a Z-Crystal.
