Z-Move

Z-Move is a once-per-battle move of raised power, unlocked by a held Z-Crystal in Sun and Moon

In review Under fact check; out of search until accepted.

A damaging Z-Move's power comes from the base move's power, so a 90-power move becomes a 175-power Z-Move. Status Z-Moves keep the original effect and add a bonus, such as a stat raise. Some species have signature Z-Moves tied to one specific move.

Main-series games; introduced in Generation VII, Sun and Moon.
