'''Zone''' (Japanese: '''ゾーン''' ''Zone'') is a type of field effect in the [[Pokémon games]] that affects all Pokémon on the field. The mechanic was introduced in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Only one type of zone may be present at a time, with any new zone put in place overwriting the previous zone. Zones can run concurrently alongside [[weather]] and [[terrain]]. Similar to these field effects, zones will last for 45 seconds (not including [[sync move]]s or [[Max Move]]s).

Similar to these field effects, zones will last for 45 seconds (not including [[sync move]]s or [[Max Move]]s), unless the same type of zone is summoned again or a Pokémon on the field has a certain skill that extends the duration of zones.


There are so far eleven types of zones (in order of release): Ghost Zone, Dragon Zone, Steel Zone, Dark Zone, Flying Zone, Bug Zone, Ground Zone, Fighting Zone, Fairy Zone, Poison Zone, and Rock Zone. Each zone powers up attacks of that type (e.g., Ghost Zone powers up Ghost-type moves).
There are so far twelve types of zones (in order of release): Ghost Zone, Dragon Zone, Steel Zone, Dark Zone, Flying Zone, Bug Zone, Ground Zone, Fighting Zone, Fairy Zone, Poison Zone, Rock Zone, and Ice Zone. Each zone powers up attacks of the corresponding type (e.g., Ghost Zone powers up {{type|Ghost}} moves).

====Removing zones====
==Removing zones==
Only {{m|Defog}} can clear zone effects.
Except in certain circumstances, such as a battle where all field effects are permanent, zones will automatically disappear after a certain amount of time. The only way to remove a zone before the end of this timer is by setting up a new zone, which will override the previous one, or using the move {{m|Defog}}.

Activating a Steel Zone

Zone (Japanese: ゾーン Zone) is a type of field effect in the Pokémon games that affects all Pokémon on the field. The mechanic was introduced in Pokémon Masters EX. Only one type of zone may be present at a time, with any new zone put in place overwriting the previous zone. Zones can run concurrently alongside weather and terrain. Similar to these field effects, zones will last for 45 seconds (not including sync moves or Max Moves), unless the same type of zone is summoned again or a Pokémon on the field has a certain skill that extends the duration of zones.

There are so far twelve types of zones (in order of release): Ghost Zone, Dragon Zone, Steel Zone, Dark Zone, Flying Zone, Bug Zone, Ground Zone, Fighting Zone, Fairy Zone, Poison Zone, Rock Zone, and Ice Zone. Each zone powers up attacks of the corresponding type (e.g., Ghost Zone powers up Ghost-type moves).

Creating zones

Zone effects may be applied through item moves, Trainer moves, buddy moves, and Skills.

Removing zones

Except in certain circumstances, such as a battle where all field effects are permanent, zones will automatically disappear after a certain amount of time. The only way to remove a zone before the end of this timer is by setting up a new zone, which will override the previous one, or using the move Defog.
