'''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), 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 {{type|Ghost}} moves).
There are thirteen types of zones, one for each type whose moves are not powered up by a weather or terrain effect. In order of release, the zones are Ghost Zone, Dragon Zone, Steel Zone, Dark Zone, Flying Zone, Bug Zone, Ground Zone, Fighting Zone, Fairy Zone, Poison Zone, Rock Zone, Ice Zone, and Normal Zone. Each zone powers up attacks of the corresponding type (e.g., Ghost Zone powers up {{type|Ghost}} moves).

Activating a Steel Zone

Zone (Japanese: ゾーン Zone) is a type of field effect in Pokémon Masters EX that affects all Pokémon on the field. 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 thirteen types of zones, one for each type whose moves are not powered up by a weather or terrain effect. In order of release, the zones are Ghost Zone, Dragon Zone, Steel Zone, Dark Zone, Flying Zone, Bug Zone, Ground Zone, Fighting Zone, Fairy Zone, Poison Zone, Rock Zone, Ice Zone, and Normal 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. Some Masters Field.pngField sync pairs can set a zone using their sync move after being raised to Masters EX star.png 6★ EX (including those with the Field EX role).

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.

Name Category Move Gauge MP Base Power Max Power Accuracy Target Effect Tag Description Playable users
