View source for Plus Move

A '''Plus Move''' (Japanese: '''ワザプラス''' ''Move Plus'') is the signature mechanic of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] that boosts the effect of any [[move]] it is used on. It is the counterpart to [[Move mastery|strong style]] from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].  

==Usage==

Plus Moves are usable after obtaining the [[Mega Ring]], following [[Main Mission]] 9. A Plus Move can be activated by pressing the '''<big>+</big>''' button while selecting a move when at least one gauge of [[Mega Power]] is full; one gauge is consumed upon execution. Any move used by a [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon will be a Plus Move; these moves do not directly consume a gauge, as Mega Evolution already drains energy while active. 

Only moves with a '''Plus Move mark''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|皆伝|かいでん}}の{{ruby|印|しるし}}''' ''mark of mastery'') can be used as Plus Moves. This mark can be gained in two ways:
* If the Pokémon naturally learns the move, it will become a Plus Move at a later level.
* If the Pokémon only learns the move through a [[TM]], the move can be upgraded to a Plus Move by talking to [[Josée]] at the [[Justice Dojo]], in exchange for a [[Seed of Mastery]] after defeating Josée at the start of [[Main Mission]] 19.
