When using a Z-Move in the games, a special cutscene plays, first showing the Trainer performing a certain pose, before shifting to the Pokémon surrounding itself with its Z-Power and executing the Z-Move. This cutscene cannot be deactivated, even if battle animations are turned off.

Similar to the {{pkmn|games}}, Z-Moves are powerful moves that can be executed by a Pokémon that knows an appropriate move which corresponds to the type of Z-Crystal on the Trainer's Z-Ring. Z-Moves were first featured in the {{series|Sun & Moon}} in episode ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} used {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, with the help of Kiawe's [[Z-Ring]] and [[Firium Z]], to defeat [[Zipp]]'s {{p|Yungoos}}, [[Tupp]]'s {{p|Salandit}}, and [[Rapp]]'s {{p|Zubat}}.

According to {{an|Professor Kukui}} in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', only Trainers who are successful in the [[island challenge]] can use Z-Moves. As seen with [[Ash's Rowlet]] in ''[[SM011|Young Kiawe Had a Farm!]]'', Z-Moves drain a lot of the Pokémon's energy, but with adequate training, the Pokémon can reduce the amount of energy necessary to execute a Z-Move. In a similar manner, in ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]'', [[Lana's Popplio]] failed its first attempt at {{m|Hydro Vortex}} since it was not strong enough to execute the move. In ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', {{an|Gladion}}'s {{p|Lycanroc}}, having endured [[Ash's Lycanroc]]'s {{m|Splintered Stormshards}}, was able to take advantage of its opponent's fatigue by finishing it with a Z-Move of its own.

Due to their vast blast radius and power, they can usually be used to wipe out many targets at once, like in a [[Battle Royal]]. Typically, bipedal or semi-bipedal Pokémon with arm-like forelimbs tend to mimic the poses of their Trainer during the activation. On the other hand, quadrupeds and the like, whose forelimbs show no manual dexterity, tend to stay still and wait until the activation is completed before acting.

During his battle against [[Gladion]] in an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament, {{adv|Sun}} inadvertently used a Z-Move with his {{adv|Dollar}}, allowing it to defeat [[Gladion's Type: Null]] with an incomplete version of {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}. Due to not knowing how to use Z-Moves at the time, Sun received Z-Power from a nearby [[Ultra Wormhole]] instead of building it up with a pose. Later, he was taught how to properly perform Z-Moves by [[Kiawe]] in order to battle Gladion a second time. With his newly-obtained Z-Ring, Sun and Dollar successfully used Inferno Overdrive properly.
