Z.Z. Flyer

Z.Z. Flyers are flying machines used by the Pokémon Pinchers in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs. They are the primary means of travel used by the Pinchers. Z.Z. Flyers are apparently waterproof as well, having been seen in use underwater. The leaders of the Pokémon Pinchers have differently colored Z.Z. Flyers rather than the usual metallic gray, with Red Eyes owning a red one and Blue Eyes owning a blue one.

Z.Z. Flyers are commonly referred to by in-game characters as UFOs.

When a Z.Z. Flyer crashes into the ocean floor by Lapras Beach, the player is sent to retrieve it to keep it from polluting the ocean. Once retrieved, it is entrusted to Nema so that she can research it. Later, she uses the parts to help repair the Wireless Tower, and rebuilds it into her own "Nema Flyer".

In the anime

Z.Z. Flyers are shown in SS022 and SS023. Like in the games, they are the Pinchers's primary means of transportation, using them to pursue Latios and to escape from Ben at Rasp Cavern.

Trivia

According to two teams of Pinchers, the Z.Z. Brothers and the Z.Z. Sisters that specialize in flying Z.Z. Flyers, there is a contest for flying them which they both did very well in.
