Z-Moves are a new mechanic, consisting of a very powerful move that can only be used once per battle, with the exception of Rotom's Z-Move (allowing you to use 2 Z-Moves per battle).

Typed Z-Moves[edit]

There is a Z-Move for every type. A Pokemon must know a move of that type in order for the Z-Move to work: for example, a Pikachu must know Thundrshock in order to use Gigavolt Havoc.

  • Normal - Breakneck Blitz
  • Fire - Inferno Overdrive
  • Water - Hydro Vortex
  • Electric - Gigavolt Havoc
  • Grass - Bloom Doom
  • Ice - Subzero Slammer
  • Fighting - All-Out Pummeling
