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. | 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.

Z-Moves were first featured in ''[[Pokémon 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!]]'', [[Gladion's 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. | According to {{an|Professor Kukui}} in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', only Trainers who are successful in the [[island challenge]] can use Z-Moves.
