why

They wanted to make it as useless as possible.

Do we have confirmation that it absolutely needs to be Giga Impact, or did they just use that as an example Normal-type move?

In the same way Alolan Raichu's Z-Move is a variation on Surf.

What the fuck is a snorlium Z and why does Pokemon continue to wack off on edgy gimmicky shit like this

>>28362344
What? So it needs to learn Giga Impact in order to use the Z-move? If so, this could debunk the 5th movement theory

>>28362413
But how

>>28362344
Well, that confirms that Z-moves will have no competitive value

>>28362413
It's a variation of Surf?
But isn't it an Electric Z-move?

>>28362344
Hmm, so pokemon specific Z moves seem to require that the pokemon know a specific move, whereas the general type z moves just need a mon to know a move of that type.

>>28362447
Regular Z-crystals just require you to know a move of that type to activate. When you click on the Z-button, the regular move will "upgrade" into a Z-move for one turn. I don't think it becomes a fifth move or anything, it just replaces the old one temporarily.

Pokémon-specific Z-moves work the same way, but they require the pokémon to know a SPECIFIC move instead.

So will it boosts its bp? Or will it just a move as a fourth move?

Should have been closer to this instead of a predictable butt slam.

>>28362472
Why not? It can be a powered-up spread move with different typing.

>>28362447
It still is a '5th move', but like Megas, it's not permanent nor does it take up a wholly unique slot. The slot is occupied by the crystal, used to power the move.
