๐Ÿ’Z-Moves

Unleash the power of Z-Crystals in Cobbleland! Let your opponents cower in fear from your incredible strength!

Z-Moves, introduced in Generation VII, are incredibly strong moves that can only be used once per battle. When a trainer and their Pokรฉmon's wishes align, this creates an extremely powerful attack. But how so, you may ask? Through Z-Crystals, and the catalyst from which they activate, the Z-Ring. In order to make a Z-Ring, you will need a Z-Crystal. Obtaining a Z-Crystal can be done through many means such as:

Once you've obtained a Z-Crystal, you will need to use it to craft a Z-Ring. If you obtain a crystal that you wish to use later, we recommend keeping it in a safe place while you obtain another.

Once you craft your Z-Ring, simply hold it with your main hand, and right click. There will be a message that appears above your hotbar stating that you can now use Z-Moves in battle! But, how exactly do they work?

Z-Crystals

Z-Crystals are the catalyst for Z-Moves, and the crystal that your Pokรฉmon holds will determine the Z-Moves that it can use. We'll split Z-Crystals into two distinct categories; type exclusive, and species exclusive.

These Z-Crystals are based on type. They operate based on the moves learned by a Pokรฉmon, meaning that if your Pokรฉmon knows a Fire-type move and holds a Firium Z, it will be able to use Inferno Overdrive in battle. Additionally, moves of a certain type that are status moves will turn into a unique Z-Move with additional effects.

  • Normalium Z

  • Fightinium Z

  • Flyinium Z

  • Poisonium Z

  • Groundium Z

  • Rockium Z

  • Buginium Z

  • Ghostinium Z

  • Steelium Z

  • Firium Z

  • Waterium Z

  • Grassium Z

  • Electrium Z

  • Psychium Z

  • Icium Z

  • Dragonium Z

  • Darkinium Z

  • Fairium Z

If you are using a species exclusive Z-Crystal, you only need to focus on the specific moves used in conjunction with your Z-Crystal. However, if you are using a type specific Z-Crystal, there are some things to pay attention to. For example, when using a Z-Move, you can choose between using a status move or an attacking move. Z-Moves change the properties of both kinds of moves, so it can be beneficial to use a certain move over the another with your Z-Crystal. We recommend reading over the Bulbapedia article on Z-Moves, as there are many moves with unique effects. Get creative with your ideas, trainers!

Z-Moves

Now that you've prepared your Pokรฉmon and Z-Crystal of choice, it's time to show off your skills in battle! Simply enter a fight with a wild Pokemon or another trainer, and hit the "Fight" button. You will see a new button next to the back arrow.

Upon hitting this new button, it will turn yellow and depending on the move set you are using, you will be able to use a Z-Move!

Keep in mind that Z-Moves may only be used once per battle. As such, it is important to determine when the best time to use this move is. Don't be hasty, because with an incredibly strong move, you may just turn the tide of a battle. Good luck, and have fun!
