So... you select Giga Impact to use the Z-move? I thought there was a button, like with Mega Evolving?

Looks like it's just the first [type] move you use, and the special ones like Snorlax's use a specific move.

They robbed us of type gems entirely to give us this feature FYI.

>>28317021
Each z crystal wants you to know a move of the corresponding type. Going by this, snorlium z specifically wants giga impact.
I would have guessed body slam, myself

I'm guessing the Z Moves that replace specific moves like this one will be extremely powerful to compensate, or have extremely useful special effects.

>or have extremely useful special effects.

Judging by the animation, I have my fingers cautiously crossed for Pulverizing Pancake to instantly wake Snorlax up if it uses the move while asleep.

Imagine how well the move would pair with Rest.

>use pulverizing pancake once and then have to carry giga impact as dead weight for the rest of the match

It's shit

Wasn't there a rumor going around that Greninja needed to know water shuriken in order for it to use a Z move?

>>28317630
It's pretty much confirmed now.

No, you just need a normal type move. They've already confirmed this.

Pikachu can use Grass Z-moves if he knows Grass Knot, for example

>>28317658
does that mean I have to breed a physical Greninja now?

>>28317668
"They" are conflicting this with more specific information on a special Pokemon-exclusive move.

If this is your first day using logic, you should know that if someone tells you something general and then something specific that contradicts the general thing, it means that the specific case overrides the general where applicable.

>>28317668
That's for generic Z-crystals, but for the Pokémon-exclusive ones, it seems to require a specific move.

>>28317713
Probably, but I guess it depends on what Water Shuriken transforms into.

>>28317668
must be 18 etc

Imagine if they went crazy with the bonus effects on the signature Z moves and Pulverizing Pancake gives Giga Impact the gen 1 hyper beam effects (doesn't recharge if you miss/faint the target)

>>28316947

You know what it really needs? Slack-Off.

>>28317713
Wait, what? Water Shuriken is physical?

No wonder I was doing such pathetic damage with it in my Ash Kalos League meme team on Showdown.

kinda badly, but it can be a total surprise
