All Z-Crystals – Pokemon Sun and Moon
Z-Crystals are nifty little items in Pokemon Sun and Moon that let you pull of some extravagant special moves once per battle. You’ll get a Z-Ring early on in the story, which is the item you need to pull off Z-Moves. After that, you’ll need two things: a Z-Crystal and a Pokemon that has a corresponding move to that crystal. There’s a crystal for each Pokemon type in the game, most of which you get through the story. So, for example, if you have the Normal Z-Crystal your Pokemon needs to have a Normal type move in order to use it.
Additionally, there are some Z-Crystals that are specific to certain Pokemon. Here’s all the Z-Crystals in Pokemon Sun and Moon, along with all of the Pokemon specific ones we know of so far.
