I'm not quite sure how to describe what they do. I think the name of the Z-Move does the joke for me.įire is Inferno Overdrive. The trainer praises the sun makes a blooming motion, the Z-Ring sending energy to the Pokemon who creates a field of flowers which then erupts with energy under the target as a giant flower blooms around them. I guess you could say your target *puts on sunglasses* won't be getting past thunder dome. The trainer creates a lightning bolt shape with their arms, the Z-Ring sending energy to the Pokemon who launches a giant thunderbolt at the target which creates a dome of electricity around them. Known Z-Moves: So far we know the Electric, Grass, Fire, and Water-type Z-Moves.Įlectric is Gigavolt Havoc. I think maybe we need more clarification here, if there even is. It's so odd that, if we do take what it written on the site as face value then they're being very loose with how and which Z-Move a Pokemon can perform despite having been unusually strict with choosing which Pokemon gets to use it. Yes the site doesn't say "attacking moves", just "moves". Speaking of Status Moves, do they count? It seems odd just because a Pokemon have a supporting move that just so happens to be another type they can use that type's Z-Move. Also what defensive stat would it hit the opponent in? Their lowest (surely they can't go for lowest stat period, it has to be a defensive stat)? Do Pokemon of the same type receive a bonus for using a Z-Move of their type (other than STAB)? Because if not, honestly, I imagine Pokemon would use a Z-Move of another type for coverage since most often then not an offensive Pokemon can get enough power from normal moves of their type thanks to STAB.Īlso what stat do these Z-Moves work off of? Do they choose the highest offense stat? Is it based on the Category of the move it's temporarily replacing? If so what if that move was a Status Move? Also what about Pokemon who are more defensive or support thus have a low attack stats? I guess it could just choose that Pokemon's highest stat even if its not Attack or Special Attack. But no, from what we have on the site as long as the Pokemon can learn a move of that type it can use that type of Z-Move. That just seems strange to me, like when I think of a super move I only imagine a Pokemon of that type using it, hence why its a super move. So from what I'm getting from this, a Pokemon can perform a Z-Move of a type that it isn't. And according to the site that's it, I'm guessing a prompt appears similar to Mega Evolution on the battle screen that lets you use a Z-Move at any time (though only once per battle). Once you have the Z-Crystals your set.Īctivation: In order to actually perform the Z-Move you have to do two things: (1.) Have your Pokemon hold the Z-Crystal of the same type active in your Z-Ring and (2.) have your Pokemon know the type of that move. The only reason I can think of is to ensure that you have a set Pokemon to use a super move, like you can't give multiple Pokemon Z-Crystals thinking in a pinch you can have any of them use a super move (which is itself odd as Mega Evolution has no problem letting you give multiple Pokemon their Mega Stone and letting you Mega Evolve any one of them).Īlso since the Z-Crystals are Key Items I don't think you need to worry about the Pokemon consuming them like they did with Gems thus needing to go out to find more. Not sure why they did that, you can only use a super move once so it's not like it's to prevent multiple Pokemon using a Z-Move. So yeah, similar idea to Mega Evolution though this time instead of having a single Key Stone in the trainer's device you need to have matching crystals. There is a Z-Crystal for each type and you need two to do a Z-Move: one to put in the Z-Ring and another for your Pokemon to hold. Little did we know that another "super" thing was on its way until we saw hints of it, and today it fully revealed: Z-Moves, super moves which you can only use once per battle.Įquipment: In order to use Z-Moves you need two Key Items: a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal. With such a major change people probably weren't expecting something else on this scale, mainly because they were waiting for more Mega Evolutions.

Mega Evolution was a big game changer, if you wanted to be competitive you NEEDED to have a Mega Evolution and prepare for whatever Mega Evolution your opponent brings out. Gen VI amazed many when they introduce Mega Evolution, essentially super forms which massively boosts a Pokemon's power at the cost of its item slot.
