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}}. | 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}}. | ||

Holding a Z-Crystal makes {{p|Rayquaza}} unable to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. If {{p|Arceus}} holds a type-specific Z-Crystal, its [[type]] changes to correspond to the Z-Crystal via its {{a|Multitype}} ability; unlike with [[Plate]]s, however, its [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}, remains unaffected. | Holding a Z-Crystal makes {{p|Rayquaza}} unable to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].

A video focusing on the sound and music design of {{g|Sun and Moon}} showcases an early build from 2015.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydWfZFx0iXE|Sound Roster -Behind the Scene- #2 GAME FREAK]." Yamaha Music Japan MPP. ''YouTube''. </ref> In this build, Z-Crystals seem to have had a different appearance, being 8-sided as opposed to being 5-sided. Instead of a 2D symbol representing a type, there was a 3D shape. | |||
The animation for receiving a Z-Crystal shows another symbol rather than the usual [[Z-Power]] symbol used in the final version. Early concept art for the original Sun and Moon titles in the [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon Essentials Concept Art Book]] features a page on [[Z-Ring]]s and how they interact with Z-Crystals. This page featured what would eventually become the [[Pikashunium Z]], the Z-Crystal for [[Pikachu in a cap]]. This early Z-Crystal design had originally been designed to look like an entire {{p|Pikachu}}, rather than just its tail. | |||
