This article summarizes the additional effects of a Z-crystal to the Special moves available to Pokémon.
When does a Special Move become a Z-Move?
The Z-Crystals in Pokémon Sun and Moon do more than make a fifth move available to a Pokémon holding one. They can enhance and power up the effects of some moves that are already in the Pokémon’s arsenal, giving it an important extra edge in battle.
A Pokémon’s special move can become a Z-move by giving it a Z-crystal corresponding to the type of move it has. The Z-crystal that a Pokémon holds activates a fixed effect in addition to the regular effect that a special move has.
The following tables list the effects that Z-power has on different Pokémon moves.
