A '''Z-Crystal''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚ|ゼット}}クリスタル''' ''Z-Crystal'') is an [[item]] required to upgrade [[move]]s to [[Z-Move]]s through the use of a [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}.  
A '''Z-Crystal''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚ|ゼット}}クリスタル''' ''Z-Crystal'') is an [[item]] required to upgrade [[move]]s to [[Z-Move]]s through the use of a [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}.


In the [[Alola]] region, Z-Crystals play an important role in the [[island challenge]], as they provide proof of completing trials and grand trials, much like [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s in other regions. However, not all Z-Crystals are obtained in this manner in {{g|Sun and Moon}} or {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.
In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Z-Crystals play an important role in the [[island challenge]], as they provide proof of completing trials and grand trials, much like [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s in other regions, though not all Z-Crystals are obtained in this manner. Like [[Sparkling Stone]]s, the objects that are crafted into Z-Rings and Z-Power Rings, Z-Crystals are pieces of {{ga|Necrozma}} that had chipped off and traveled to Alola through [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Z-Crystals are described as crystalized forms of [[Z-Power]].


During the game, the player can obtain Z-Crystals for their [[Bag]], which will be stored in a dedicated Bag section. These Z-Crystals can be used to create [[held item]]s of the same name at will. A held Z-Crystal is automatically removed if the Pokémon is [[trade]]d between players; however, some Pokémon received from [[in-game trade]]s may be holding a Z-Crystal the player already has.
During the game, the player can obtain Z-Crystals for their [[Bag]], which will be stored in a dedicated Bag section. These Z-Crystals can be used to create [[held item]]s of the same name at will. A held Z-Crystal is automatically removed if the Pokémon is [[trade]]d between players; however, some Pokémon received from [[in-game trade]]s may be holding a Z-Crystal the player already has. This is in contrary to lore, where the Trainer will only need to own one Z-Crystal on their Z-Ring/Z-Power Ring, channeling the Z-Power onto their Pokémon.


Holding a Z-Crystal makes {{p|Rayquaza}} unable to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].
Holding a Z-Crystal makes {{p|Rayquaza}} unable to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. If {{p|Arceus}} holds a type-specific Z-Crystal, its [[type]] changes to correspond to the Z-Crystal via its {{a|Multitype}} ability; unlike with [[Plate]]s, however, its [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}, remains unaffected.
 
==Early concept and design development==
[[File:Z-Crystal Proto.png|thumb|left|220px|Early Z-Crystal design]]
[[File:Z-Crystal Proto 2.png|thumb|220px|Early Z-Power design]]
A video focusing on the sound and music design of {{g|Sun and Moon}} showcases an early build from 2015.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydWfZFx0iXE|Sound Roster -Behind the Scene- #2 GAME FREAK]." Yamaha Music Japan MPP. ''YouTube''. </ref> In this build, Z-Crystals seem to have had a different appearance, being 8-sided as opposed to being 5-sided. Instead of a 2D symbol representing a type, there was a 3D shape.
 
The animation for receiving a Z-Crystal shows another symbol rather than the usual [[Z-Power]] symbol used in the final version. Early concept art for the original Sun and Moon titles in the [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon Essentials Concept Art Book]] features a page on [[Z-Ring]]s and how they interact with Z-Crystals. This page featured what would eventually become the [[Pikashunium Z]], the Z-Crystal for [[Pikachu in a cap]]. This early Z-Crystal design had originally been designed to look like an entire {{p|Pikachu}}, rather than just its tail.

Z-Crystals first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where a [[Firium Z]] appeared on {{an|Kiawe}}'s [[Z-Ring]]. He obtained it by completing [[Olivia]]'s grand trial. Later in the same episode, {{Ash}} received an [[Electrium Z]] with his Z-Ring, from {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}. However, in [[SM002|the following episode]], it shattered after Ash performed {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} with {{AP|Pikachu}}.

As revealed in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', the [[island challenge]] is one way of obtaining Z-Crystals, though it is not necessarily the only way a Trainer can obtain them. Ash's goal in [[Alola]] was to complete the island challenge and collect the Z-Crystals in order to prove himself worthy of the power of [[Z-Move]]s.

Z-Crystals in Pokémon the Series

A Z-Crystal (Japanese: Ｚクリスタル Z-Crystal) is an item required to upgrade moves to Z-Moves through the use of a Z-RingSM or Z-Power RingUSUM.

In the Alola region, Z-Crystals play an important role in the island challenge, as they provide proof of completing trials and grand trials, much like Gym Badges in other regions, though not all Z-Crystals are obtained in this manner. Like Sparkling Stones, the objects that are crafted into Z-Rings and Z-Power Rings, Z-Crystals are pieces of Necrozma that had chipped off and traveled to Alola through Ultra Wormholes. Z-Crystals are described as crystalized forms of Z-Power.

During the game, the player can obtain Z-Crystals for their Bag, which will be stored in a dedicated Bag section. These Z-Crystals can be used to create held items of the same name at will. A held Z-Crystal is automatically removed if the Pokémon is traded between players; however, some Pokémon received from in-game trades may be holding a Z-Crystal the player already has. This is in contrary to lore, where the Trainer will only need to own one Z-Crystal on their Z-Ring/Z-Power Ring, channeling the Z-Power onto their Pokémon.

Holding a Z-Crystal makes Rayquaza unable to Mega Evolve. If Arceus holds a type-specific Z-Crystal, its type changes to correspond to the Z-Crystal via its Multitype ability; unlike with Plates, however, its signature move, Judgment, remains unaffected.

Early concept and design development

Early Z-Crystal design
Early Z-Power design

A video focusing on the sound and music design of Pokémon Sun and Moon showcases an early build from 2015.[1] In this build, Z-Crystals seem to have had a different appearance, being 8-sided as opposed to being 5-sided. Instead of a 2D symbol representing a type, there was a 3D shape.

The animation for receiving a Z-Crystal shows another symbol rather than the usual Z-Power symbol used in the final version. Early concept art for the original Sun and Moon titles in the Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon Essentials Concept Art Book features a page on Z-Rings and how they interact with Z-Crystals. This page featured what would eventually become the Pikashunium Z, the Z-Crystal for Pikachu in a cap. This early Z-Crystal design had originally been designed to look like an entire Pikachu, rather than just its tail.

In the anime

Various Z-Crystals in Pokémon the Series

Z-Crystals first appeared in Alola to New Adventure!, where a Firium Z appeared on Kiawe's Z-Ring. He obtained it by completing Olivia's grand trial. Later in the same episode, Ash received an Electrium Z with his Z-Ring, from Tapu Koko. However, in the following episode, it shattered after Ash performed Gigavolt Havoc with Pikachu.

As revealed in To Top a Totem!, the island challenge is one way of obtaining Z-Crystals, though it is not necessarily the only way a Trainer can obtain them. Ash's goal in Alola was to complete the island challenge and collect the Z-Crystals in order to prove himself worthy of the power of Z-Moves.

A full set of replicas of the type-specific Z-Crystals were also shown to Ash and his classmates by Professor Kukui in A Team-on-Team Tussle!.
