A '''Z-Crystal''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Z|ゼット}}クリスタル''' ''Z-Crystal'') is an [[item]] required to upgrade [[move]]s to [[Z-Move]]s through the use of a [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}.

In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Z-Crystals play an important role in the [[island challenge]], as they provide proof of completing trials and grand trials, much like [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s in other regions. However, not all Z-Crystals are obtained in this manner in {{g|Sun and Moon}} or {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. Like [[Sparkling Stone]]s, the objects that are crafted into Z-Rings and Z-Power Rings, Z-Crystals are pieces of {{ga|Necrozma}} that had chipped off and traveled to Alola through [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Z-Crystals are described as crystalized forms of [[Z-Power]].

During the game, the player can obtain Z-Crystals for their [[Bag]], which will be stored in a dedicated Bag section. These Z-Crystals can be used to create [[held item]]s of the same name at will. A held Z-Crystal is automatically removed if the Pokémon is [[trade]]d between players; however, some Pokémon received from [[in-game trade]]s may be holding a Z-Crystal the player already has. This is in contrary to lore, where the Trainer will only need to own one Z-Crystal on their Z-Ring/Z-Power Ring, channeling the Z-Power onto their Pokémon.

Z-Crystals first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where a [[Firium Z]] appeared on {{an|Kiawe}}'s [[Z-Ring]]. He obtained it by completing [[Olivia]]'s grand trial. Later in the same episode, {{Ash}} received an [[Electrium Z]] with his Z-Ring, from {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}. However, in [[SM002|the following episode]], it shattered after Ash performed {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} with {{AP|Pikachu}}.
