What are Z Moves?
Z Moves are special forms of certain moves introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon for the Nintendo 3DS. By using a Mega Keystone and the corresponding Z Crystal, a Pokémon can utilise the alternate form of the move during battle, granting an increase in power, and often includes additional effects.
Z Moves can come in two forms, either being a generic move, or a specialist move. Generic moves can be used by any Pokémon, so long as they have learnt a move corresponding to the typing of the crystal. Whereas specialist moves can only be used by a singular Pokémon, and require they know a specific move (often their signature) to utilise it.
