Pokémon Masters EX
In Pokémon Masters EX, X Sp. Atks can only be used by certain sync pairs who have them as an item move. In addition, a variant of X Sp. Atk called X Sp. Atk All can be used by certain sync pairs. Both of these item moves have 2 MP. An X Sp. Atk only raises the user's Special Attack, while an X Sp. Atk All raises the Special Attack of all allies. A full list of all sync pairs who can learn X Sp. Atk or X Sp. Atk All can be found here.
