A '''Z-Move''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚ|ゼット}}ワザ''' ''Z-Move'') is a special type of [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]], in which a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and their Pokémon's wishes combine to unleash an attack comprising the full power of both. Z-Moves require one of several available [[Z-Crystal]]s and a [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}}/[[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}.

They are no longer present in the [[core series]] from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] onwards, but they still appear in some spin-off games, such as [[Pokémon Masters EX]].

==In the core series games==
Z-Moves are very powerful, but they can only be used once per {{pkmn|battle}}, unless {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Z-Rotom Power}} is used.

There are three different kinds of Z-Moves: Z-Moves which can be used by any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, with one Z-Move for each of the 18 [[type]]s; status moves that have been turned into Z-Moves by one of the 18 type-specific Z-Crystals; and Z-Moves that can only be used by specific Pokémon. The Z-Move that a Pokémon can perform depends on the [[Z-Crystal]] it [[held item|holds]]. There are 18 different Z-Crystals that correspond to each of the 18 types, and several others that correspond to specific Pokémon. Z-Moves work by powering up one of the Pokémon's normal moves, so the Pokémon must also know an appropriate move. For the type-related Z-Crystals, the Pokémon must know a move of the same type as the Z-Crystal it is holding. For the Pokémon-specific Z-Crystals, the move required differs for each Pokémon.

A Pokémon can only use a Z-Move if its Trainer is wearing a [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}} and has the same Z-Crystal the Pokémon is holding. [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] and [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Pokémon cannot use Z-Moves, even when holding an appropriate Z-Crystal (such as after {{m|Transform}}).

===History===
The origins of Z-Power are largely shrouded in mystery. However, information by [[Professor Kukui]] indicates that Z-Power may be related to the energy produced by [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Wicke]] also speculates that [[Lusamine]]'s losing consciousness after fusing with {{p|Nihilego}} in [[Ultra Space]] may have been due to the Z-Power surrounding her. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] reveal that the Z-Power that surrounds the user and their Pokémon when using a Z-Move as well as the aura surrounding [[Totem Pokémon]] are a result of {{p|Necrozma}}'s light shining down on Alola long ago.

Alolan legends found in the Malie Library also indicate that {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|SUS}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|MUM}} gifted the Tapunium Z to the [[guardian deities]] after fighting against them. The letter Z found at the start of Z-Move, Z-Power, Z-Ring, and Z-Power Ring comes from the word ''Zenith'', as the action of performing a Z-Move is done through a Trainer and their Pokémon combining their strength and vigor with one another.

===Battle mechanics===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Are Z-Moves always obeyed?}}
When using a Z-Move in the games, a special cutscene plays, first showing the Trainer performing a certain pose, before shifting to the Pokémon surrounding itself with its Z-Power and executing the Z-Move. This cutscene cannot be deactivated, even if battle animations are turned off.

Z-Moves draw upon the [[PP]] of the Pokémon's original moves in order to execute, requiring and consuming PP upon use. When the Z-Move option is chosen in battle, a list of Z-Moves overlays the Pokémon's original list of moves, with each compatible move of the Pokémon's original moves overlain by a Z-Move option that draws upon that move.

Damaging Z-Moves derive their [[damage category|category]] ([[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]]) and [[power]] from the base move. For example, a {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} based on {{m|Nuzzle}} (with a power of 20) will have a power of 100 and be a physical move, while one based on {{m|Thunderbolt}} (with a power of 90) will have a power of 175 and be a special move. If the Pokémon knows more than one compatible move, it will be able to choose among different versions of the Z-Move with different stats, with the instance that has the highest power sparkling. Damaging Z-Moves do not inherit any other properties from the base move, so they have neutral [[priority]] and do not have the [[additional effect]]s of the base move.

Exclusive Z-Moves can be used only by specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and require a specific move to be upgraded. They have a fixed [[damage category|category]] and [[power]]. Exclusive Z-Moves can be used by a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into an appropriate species regardless of its original species, if it holds the corresponding Z-Crystal; however, if the Pokémon who the move is exclusive to is transformed, it cannot use its own species' exclusive Z-Move unless it is transformed into another Pokémon of the same species.

Damaging Z-Moves bypass {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Damaging Z-Moves cannot be fully protected against by {{cat|protection moves}} (such as {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Spiky Shield}}), instead dealing 25% of the original damage. The types of damaging Z-Moves are unaffected by {{cat|Abilities that can modify move types|type-modifying Abilities}} (although status Z-Moves' types are). However, their types are affected by {{m|Ion Deluge}} (if the Z-Move would be Normal-type) and {{m|Electrify}}.

Z-Moves based on [[status move]]s are enhanced versions of the original moves, having a Z- prefixed to the start of the status move's name. While they have the effects of the original status move, the user usually also receives a '''Z-Power effect''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚ|ゼット}}パワー{{tt|こうか|効果}}''' ''Z-Power effect''), which is executed before the move itself. For example, Z-{{m|Splash}} also boosts the user's {{stat|Attack}} by 3 stages, while Z-{{m|Parting Shot}} also restores the switch-in ally's HP by 100%. These effects are not affected by {{a|Contrary}}, {{a|Simple}}, or {{m|Heal Block}}.

If a status Z-Move misses, fails (including failure caused by [[rain|heavy rain]], [[harsh sunlight|extremely harsh sunlight]], or [[strong winds]]), or is blocked by a protection move, it still applies its Z-Power effect. Status Z-Moves can be used without regard to the effects of {{m|Gravity}}, but Gravity will still cause them to fail after applying their Z-Power effect (e.g. Z-Magnet Rise will raise the user's evasion but then fail).

Additionally, when used as a Z-Move, most {{cat|moves that call other moves}} convert the called move into its corresponding Z-Move, although [[status move]]s called this way do not get their Z-Power effect. Moves stolen by Z-{{m|Snatch}}, reflected by Z-{{m|Magic Coat}}, or instructed by Z-{{m|Instruct}} are not turned into Z-Moves.

Z-Moves may be used without regard to the effects of {{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Torment}}, {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Imprison}}, and {{m|Heal Block}}; however, the Pokémon never has an opportunity to select a Z-Move if it is forced to use {{m|Struggle}} (e.g. if it is affected by Taunt and only knows [[status move]]s). Even if the target of Z-{{m|Heal Pulse}} or Z-{{m|Floral Healing}} is affected by Heal Block, that Pokémon's HP is restored.

Like any other move, Z-Moves can be redirected by effects such as {{m|Follow Me}} and {{a|Storm Drain}}. Z-Moves are affected normally by {{m|Powder}} and [[weather]]. {{cat|Weather-changing moves}} turned into Z-Moves will disappear as usual during, but will apply their Z-Power effects regardless.

If a Pokémon uses a damaging Z-Move on a Pokémon with {{a|Cursed Body}}, that damaging Z-Move can be disabled (with no effect on the base move). However, if Cursed Body would disable a status Z-Move (such as Z-{{m|Nature Power}}), the base status move will be disabled.

===Power===
With the exceptions of {{m|Mega Drain}} (120), {{m|Weather Ball}} (160), {{m|Hex}} (160), {{m|Gear Grind}} (180), {{m|V-create}} (220), {{m|Flying Press}} (170), {{m|Core Enforcer}} (140), and [[one-hit knockout move]]s (180), the powers of the type-specific damaging Z-Moves follow the following conversion table for base moves that have fixed powers. {{m|Struggle}} has a power of 1 as a Z-Move in the game data, which does not follow this table, but it is not possible to turn Struggle into a Z-Move.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
{{SSB|Incineroar}}'s [[Final Smash]] uses the Z-Move {{m|Malicious Moonsault}}.

The {{p|Mimikyu}} summon from a [[Poké Ball]] will use the Z-Move {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}.

==In the TCG==
In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], a mechanic similar to Z-Moves, introduced in the {{tcg|Sun & Moon}} expansion, is a type of attack called {{GX}} {{tcg|attack|attacks}}. They are distinguished from normal attacks by a "{{GX}}" suffix following the attack's name, such as in "Pulverizing Pancake{{GX}}". Only {{tcg|Pokémon-GX|Pokémon}}{{GX}} are printed with GX attacks. [[Z-Crystal#In_the_TCG|Z-Crystal cards]] can allow other Pokemon to use a {{GX}} attack printed on the Z-Crystal card if the Pokemon has a move of the correct name.

Like Z-Moves, {{GX}} attacks have very powerful effects compared to those of other attacks. However, each player may only use one {{GX}} attack per game. {{GX}} markers are used to denote whether a player has used their {{GX}} attack yet. If a player uses a {{GX}} attack, their {{GX}} marker is flipped over to expose its reverse side.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Gigavolt Havoc pose.png|thumb|250px|Ash performing the pose for Gigavolt Havoc]]
Similar to the {{pkmn|games}}, Z-Moves are powerful moves that can be executed by a Pokémon that knows an appropriate move that corresponds to the type of Z-Crystal on the Trainer's Z-Ring. Z-Moves were first featured in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' in episode ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} used {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, with the help of Kiawe's [[Z-Ring]] and [[Firium Z]], to defeat [[Zipp]]'s {{p|Yungoos}}, [[Tupp]]'s {{p|Salandit}}, and [[Rapp]]'s {{p|Zubat}}.

According to {{an|Professor Kukui}} in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', only Trainers who are successful in the [[island challenge]] can use Z-Moves. As seen with [[Ash's Rowlet]] in ''[[SM011|Young Kiawe Had a Farm!]]'', Z-Moves drain a lot of the Pokémon's energy, but with adequate training, the Pokémon can reduce the amount of energy necessary to execute a Z-Move. In a similar manner, in ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]'', [[Lana's Popplio]] failed its first attempt at {{m|Hydro Vortex}} since it was not strong enough to execute the move. In ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', [[Gladion's Lycanroc]], having endured [[Ash's Lycanroc]]'s {{m|Splintered Stormshards}}, was able to take advantage of its opponent's fatigue by finishing it with a Z-Move of its own.

Due to their vast blast radius and power, they can usually be used to wipe out many targets at once, like in a [[Battle Royal]]. Typically, bipedal or semi-bipedal Pokémon with arm-like forelimbs tend to mimic the poses of their Trainer during the activation. On the other hand, quadrupeds and the like, whose forelimbs show no manual dexterity, tend to stay still and wait until the activation is completed before acting.

As revealed in ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', a Pokémon using a Z-Move can receive Z-Power from multiple other people and Pokémon provided they do the Z-Move pose as well. In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', {{an|Brock}} helped [[Olivia]] and her {{TP|Olivia|Lycanroc}} use a variation of {{m|Continental Crush}} he named '''Continental Crush on You''' (Japanese: '''ワールズエンドフォーリンラブ''' ''World's End Fall in Love'').

{{Ash}} first performed a Z-Move in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', with his {{AP|Pikachu}} using {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} thanks to the Z-Ring and [[Electrium Z]] Ash had received from {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}. After using the attack, however, the Electrium Z shattered, preventing Ash from using the move again until he obtained a new Electrium Z in ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]''.

In the Japanese, {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}}, {{pmin|Greater China|Mandarin Chinese}}, and {{pmin|Thailand|Thai}} versions, when a Z-Move is used, the name of the specific move is shown, like in the games; however, the names are removed in most other [[dub]]s.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Z-Moves first appeared in the {{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. [[Olivia]] had her {{TP|Olivia|Lycanroc}} use {{m|Continental Crush}} while [[Nanu]] had his {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}} use {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}} during an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against each other. [[Hala]] stepped in to stop both Pokémon before either could successfully use their moves.

During his battle against [[Gladion]] in an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament, {{adv|Sun}} inadvertently used a Z-Move with his {{adv|Dollar}}, allowing it to defeat [[Gladion's Type: Null]] with an incomplete version of {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}. Due to not knowing how to use Z-Moves at the time, Sun received Z-Power from a nearby [[Ultra Wormhole]] instead of building it up with a pose. Later, he was taught how to properly perform Z-Moves by [[Kiawe]] in order to battle Gladion a second time. With his newly obtained Z-Ring, Sun and Dollar successfully used Inferno Overdrive properly.

At [[Mount Lanakila]], [[Ilima]], [[Lana]], Kiawe, [[Mallow]], [[Sophocles]], [[Molayne]], [[Mina]], and [[Hapu]] were attacked by a group of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s and their [[Ultra Beast]]s. With the power of their barrage of Z-Moves, the Ultra Beasts were defeated one by one.

==Trivia==
[[File:Z-Crystal Proto 2.png|thumb|right|250px|Early Z-Power design]]
* According to a book in [[Malie City|Malie Library]], the ''Z'' in ''Z-Move'' is short for ''zenith'' (Japanese: '''ゼンリョク/{{tt|全力|ぜんりょく}}''', ''zenryoku''<ref>[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/fight/160801_01.html トレーナーとポケモンが一体となって放つゼンリョクの攻撃「Ｚワザ」｜『ポケットモンスター サン・ムーン』公式サイト]</ref> "full power/force").
** Internal data in the games also refer to Z-Move as ''ZenryokuWaza'', which literally means "full-powered move".
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydWfZFx0iXE|Sound Roster -Behind the Scene- #2 GAME FREAK], a video focusing on the sound and music design of Sun and Moon, show cases an early build from 2015. In this build, another symbol is used rather than the usual Z-Power symbol used in the final version.
* Some cutscenes when using a Z-Move bear similarities to the [[Appeal#Spectacular Talent|cutscenes]] used in [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* No NPC Trainer has a Pokémon holding a Z-Crystal for an exclusive Z-Move.
* No Pokémon with an exclusive Z-Move is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} have the most Z-Moves out of any type, with both having four.
** Before the release of {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Electric had the most amount of Z-Moves, with four.
* Overall, six Z-Moves haven't appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}: {{m|Acid Downpour}}, {{m|Shattered Psyche}}, {{m|Twinkle Tackle}}, {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}, {{m|Genesis Supernova}}, and {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}.
** {{m|Clangorous Soulblaze}} is the only Z-Move to have [[List of moves by anime debut|debuted]] outside of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.
* Despite Z-Moves being unusable in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, [[Iono]] briefly mentions {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, the exclusive move for [[Pikachu in a cap]].<ref>{{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: "You’re as flashy and bright as a 10,000,000-volt Thunderbolt, friendo!" </ref>
** In Iono's [[Iono/Quotes|dialogue]], the Z-Move's name is misspelled as 10,000,000''-volt'' Thunderbolt.
