Introduced in Generation VII Pocket Generation VII Key items

The Sparkling Stone (Japanese: かがやくいし Sparkling Stone) is a Key Item introduced in Generation VII and the raw material needed to create a Z-Ring^SM or Z-Power Ring^USUM. They are given to the island kahuna by the tapu to turn into a Z-Ring^SM or Z-Power Ring^USUM and then gifted to worthy Pokémon Trainers. Rarely, some Trainers may be given one directly by the tapu instead, as is the case with the player.

According to Professor Kukui and Lillie, Sparkling Stones are actually parts of Necrozma's body that were lost due to the actions of the Ultra Recon Squad's ancestors. These parts then came to Alola after passing through an Ultra Wormhole. They share these traits with Z-Crystals.

In the core series games

The player receives a Sparkling Stone from Tapu Koko in recognition of their bravery in protecting Nebby from a swarm of wild Spearow. After the player defeats Hau for the first time^SM or simply returns to Iki Town^USUM, Hala recognizes the stone, and upon realizing that the player has been recognized by the guardian deity of Melemele Island, offers to refine it. The player receives the finished product, a Z-Ring^SM or Z-Power Ring^USUM, after completing the ceremony battle with Hau.

Another, unobtainable Sparkling Stone is given to Hapu by Tapu Fini when the former is made the island kahuna of Poni Island. She later fastens it into her own Z-Ring^SM/Z-Power Ring^USUM. This Sparkling Stone is colored brown, unlike the white^SM/black^USUM one the player received earlier.

In The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl, Sun received a Sparkling Stone from Tapu Koko. In The Party Crasher and Guzma the Destroyer, Sun used the Sparkling Stone as a splint for his broken arm. When angered by Gladion in The Final Match and a Surprising Finale!, Sun accidentally used the Z-Move Inferno Overdrive with his Litten, Dollar, defeating Gladion's Type: Null. Due to the strain of using the attack, Sun immediately passed out from exhaustion. Hala took the Sparkling Stone in order to convert it into a Z-Ring for Sun to use. Once completed, Hala had Kahili deliver it to Sun at the Ruins of Life.

In The Wild Full-Power Pose of Fire, Kiawe was revealed to own a Z-Ring, which he received as a Sparkling Stone from Tapu Lele five years earlier. In order to prevent Sun from using Inferno Overdrive against him again, Gladion had his Type: Null shatter Kiawe's Z-Ring when the latter attempted to lend it to Sun, leaving only the Sparkling Stone intact.

In The Truth and Island Kahuna Hapu, Hapu received a Sparkling Stone from Tapu Fini after it accepted her as the next kahuna of Poni Island.

In Shock!! Father in the Pendant!, Hau revealed that, in the midst of his training, he had managed to obtain a Sparkling Stone, which Olivia had fashioned into a Z-Ring for him.

Trivia

• Lillie, Hala, Hapu, and the book, The Tapu and the Island Kahunas, all incorrectly use lower case for the item name in Pokémon Sun and Moon. This was fixed in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
