A Pikashunium Z in the
anime In 10,000,000 Reasons to Fight! Ash 's Electrium Z abruptly turned into a Pikashunium Z as he was about to attack Nihilego , the Ultra Beast holding Lusamine captive. Using the power of this new Z-Crystal, Ash and Pikachu used 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt to defeat UB-01 Symbiont and free Lusamine. The Pikashunium Z reverted back to Electrium Z after the move was performed.
It reappeared in A Battle Hand-Off! Jessie 's Mimikyu at the Thrifty Megamart . Afterwards, it once again reverted back to an Electrium Z.
