There's really nothing actually viable about Z-moves from a competitive point of view, since other items are generally going to be more useful, even without Megastones.

>>28556758
I dont think z-moves use a moveslot, remember in one of the trailers the z move button was to the left of the normal moves buttons, as a separate thing

>>28556758
Z-Moves don't use a move slot. Z-Moves are a separate option, like Mega Evolution.

>Select Z move
>get outsped by unexpected scarf user and ohkod before I can use it

>>28556758
You're right except for the moveslot part, since chances are if you're gonna use a Z-move it probably corresponds to your STAB.

Now, it people are gonna use it like a Hidden Power, then that's probably super inefficient unless they wanna bluff items.

>>28557082
Is it confirmed all z moves are just damage and no other effect? Including the exclusive ones? Seems retarded

>>28557196
They're basically just a means for any pokemon, shitmon or not, to get its own nuke

>>28556671
Type gems were used in gen 5 so I don't see why Z-moves wouldn't be

So are Z moves good even if like Shuckle uses it?
