Z-Crystals Locations
Z-Crystals are used to augment the moves of the Pokemon into more powerful attacks called Z-moves. Most of the Z-Crystals serve as tokens for completing various Island Challenges and Grand Trials, however some are hidden in caves and dungeons. Once obtained, the Z-Crystal appears inside the designated pocket of the bag. When a Pokemon performs a Z-move, the damage dealt depends on the base power of the move.
Once spent, neither the Pokemon nor its allies can perform another Z-move for the remainder of the battle.
There are two basic categories for Z-Crystals, first are the Type-dependent Z-Crystals, and the second are the Species-specific Z-Crystals.
