 As revealed in ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', a Pokémon using a Z-Move can receive Z-Power from multiple other people and Pokémon provided they do the Z-Move pose as well. In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', {{an|Brock}} helped [[Olivia]] and her {{TP|Olivia|Lycanroc}} use a variation of {{m|Continental Crush}} he named '''Continental Crush on You''' (Japanese: '''ワールズエンドフォーリンラブ''' ''World's End Fall in Love'').
+In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', an [[Ultra Wormhole]] sucked away Ultra Aura from Alola, weakening everyone's Z-Moves to almost unusable levels until {{an|Necrozma}} had left the dimension. In ''[[SM101|Parallel Friendships!]]'', {{al|Dia}} revealed that the use of Z-Moves had become impossible in the [[Ultra Ruin]] after the dimension's {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Shiny Tapu Koko|Tapu Koko}} left, indicating that a {{an|guardian deities|guardian deity}}'s presence is necessary for the use of Z-Moves. However, this didn't stop Z-Moves from being used outside of Alola in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' and ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
 {{Ash}} first performed a Z-Move in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', with his {{AP|Pikachu}} using {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} thanks to the Z-Ring and [[Electrium Z]] Ash had received from {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}. After using the attack, however, the Electrium Z shattered, preventing Ash from using the move again until he obtained a new Electrium Z in ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]''.
-Z-Moves are shown to have some further limitations in the anime. As shown in [[JN076|''All Out, All of the Time!'']], even when in possession of both a [[Z-Power Ring]] and [[Z-Crystal]], a Z-Move will fail if the user and its trainer's hearts are not in total sync. In [[SM087| Filling the Light with Darkness!]] '' [[Z-Moves]] are linked to the Ultra Aura, when the Ultra Aura is decreased, as [[Necrozma (anime)]] was chasing after [[Solgaleo (anime)]] and [[Lunala (anime)]], that cause a small [[Ultra Wormhole]] to be open up; so the Z-Moves are unable to perform well and the Pokémon are unable to build up Z-Power. Additionally, Z-Moves seem to require the presence of the {{an|Guardian deities}} in some form. In [[100|''Battling the Beast Within!'']] and [[101|''Parallel Friendships!'']], Z-Moves are shown not to work in the [[Ultra Ruin]] until the reappearance of [[Shiny Tapu Koko (anime)|Tapu Koko]]. Despite this limitation, it is shown in [[SM043|''When Regions Collide!'']], as well as throughout ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', that Z-Moves are in fact able to be used outside of Alola.
 In the Japanese, {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}}, {{pmin|Greater China|Mandarin Chinese}}, and {{pmin|Thailand|Thai}} versions, when a Z-Move is used, the name of the specific move is shown, like in the games; however, the names are removed in most other [[dub]]s.
