Z-Moves

neat

I like it, it would've been incredibly boring if every Z move was just 'once a battle move with 150-200 BP'. Interesting to see what they'll all be

Z DESTINY BOND WHAT

WHOS SPLASHING NOW MOTHERSPLASHER.

>Gyarados used splash

Hopefully there's some Z moves that boost speed because every Pokemon is slow as hell for some reason

>>29736875
>Z moves truly change depending on the move outside of BP

This might be the coolest shit possible.

In case it isn't clear, these aren't specific Z moves, they activate regardless of what your Z move is

>>29736875
>Z Splash

Haha time for Jumpluff to shine!

magikarp?

Z-hold hands is a +1 boost to all stats

>>29736981
Z-Celebrate, Z-Happy Hour, Z-Hold Hands, and Z-Conversion raise all stats +1 stage.

I'm so hyped for Z-Moves in competitive play.

It's time for me to kill, and it's time for me to die.

>>29736992
So after a Z move has been used? NEAT

>>29737048
Conor, go to bed. You have work in the morning.

Z Destiny bond seems broken as hell in doubles, holy crap, Gengar nerf warranted if that's the case

>>29737039
Huh, that's cool, now I want to know what Z boosting moves do

>>29737039
That sounds like a sad hooker menu

Porygon-Z Is going to be wild.

>Jumpluff used Z-Splash
>Spam +3 Acrobatics

Jumpluff UU now?

>>29737234
z crystals don't go away after use

Hello.

>>29737039
>+1 everything Porygon Z
Holy shit

>>29736875
Can't wait til all the "Z moves will be shit" crowd gets btfo'd.

Z moves will be fun and interesting.

>Can't wait til all the "Z moves will be shit" crowd gets btfo'd.
I'm glad I'm being btfo for once.

>>29737114
>broken
Requires a lot of prediction on both sides, wastes an item slot, and prevents other Pokemon from using Z moves. It's good, but def not broken.

Z-Hidden Power is always Breakneck Blitz.

Looks like Unown won't get a STAB Z-move.

has anyone seen the ub types yet?

Would a +3 bonus be better than a Sword Dance+Life Orb? Because if so damn

has anyone seen all the ub types yet?

Greninja has Happy Hour as an event move.
Protean Greninja can now raise all its stats. Ash-Greninja is now even more useless

>>29737458
There's always hopes for unownium-z, I suppose. But I doubt it'll happen.

>>29736875
Reminder that Azumarill gets Splash. So now one of the best non-banned Pokemon has a +3 Attack boost with no drawbacks like Choice Band or Belly Drum.

This is gonna be a fun gen.

Might not be just a gen 7 cheap gimmick after all.

It's also easier to maintain than Megas, since it's one per type and a few unique ones. At the very least the type ones will stay relevant indefinitely.

>>29737766
>Jumpluff gets +3 attack Acrobatics behind sub
Say goodbye to PU!

>>29737766
Honestly I'm very excited, the meta will get so fucking crazy.

>>29737766
Sitrus Drum is still better.

>>29737807
enjoy your unboosted acrobatics

you still hold the z crystal after using it

>>29737766
Doesn't it have to give up one of its moves for Splash though?

>>29737856
shit
aerial ace is still okay, right?

>>29737889
only 5 base power higher than unboosted acro

>>29736875
As someone who kept shitting on Zmoves every single second, I'm glad they will actually mean something instead of just being glorified gems.

>>29737875
well belly drum duh

>>29737875
Drop belly drum, halve it's attack after boosing but have more hp to work with.

>>29737875
it also has to give up the item.

Wimpod is this gens Magikarp, so it may get Splash

>>29736875

ASHNIME IS CANON

CANON!!!!

POKEMON SUPER PIKACHU EDITION AND ULTRA PLATINUM CONFIRMED

>>29738030
Wimpod is based off a huge scary prehistoric scorpion that was actually a chump feeding on plankton

Wimpod will basically have U-Turn once it gets low hp. If the evo is super bulky then it will be pretty damn useful.

>>29741627
Are you not aware what Destiny Bond actually does?

Although the Z-Moves mentioned in the twitter arent real, they're just hypothetical.

>>29741764
No they're real

>>29741764
They're real, literally from the datamine.

>>29736875
Wow, I thought Z moves were a stupid gimmick, but at last I truly see. It was a way of increasing the number of moves and making irrelevant moves relevant, without making massive changes to the regular game or flooding the move lists with new moves.

This... this is actually genius. What the fuck, is this the same Game Freak we all know and hate?

>>29741630
Lopunny gets baton pass, which is pretty damn cool
Shame you can't use it with mega lop

>>29736875
What are the last 3 unique z moves? How has no one found out yet????

The last 3 z-moves are Greninja, Ultra Beasts, and Marshadow.
