From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
A Z-Crystal (Japanese: Zクリスタル Z-Crystal) is an item required to upgrade moves to Z-Moves.
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.

In the anime
Z-Crystals first appeared in Alola to New Adventure!, where a Firium Z appeared on Kiawe's Z-Ring. Later in the same episode, Ash received an Electrium Z with his Z-Ring from Tapu Koko, but in the following episode, it shattered after Ash performed Gigavolt Havoc with Pikachu.
Ash's goal in Alola is to complete the island challenge and collect the Z-Crystals in order to prove himself worthy of the power of Z-Moves.
- Ash obtained a Normalium Z from a Totem Gumshoos after completing the Verdant Cavern trial in SM009. He first used it to use Breakneck Blitz in SM010, together with Pikachu.
- Ash obtained another Electrium Z from Tapu Koko in SM010, after it swapped the Fightinium Z he was supposed to receive from Hala as a reward for completing his Melemele grand trial.
