Exclusive Z-Moves can be used only by specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and require a specific move to be upgraded. They have a fixed [[damage category|category]] and [[power]]. Exclusive Z-Moves can be used by a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into an appropriate species regardless of its original species, if it holds the corresponding Z-Crystal; however, if the Pokémon who the move is exclusive to is transformed, it cannot use its own species' exclusive Z-Move unless it is transformed into another Pokémon of the same species. | Exclusive Z-Moves can be used only by specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and require a specific move to be upgraded.

Z-Moves may be used without regard to the effects of {{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Torment}}, {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Imprison}}, and {{m|Heal Block}}; however, the Pokémon never has an opportunity to select a Z-Move if it is forced to use {{m|Struggle}} (e.g. if it is affected by Taunt and only knows [[status move]]s). Even if the target of Z-{{m|Heal Pulse}} or Z-{{m|Floral Healing}} is affected by Heal Block, that Pokémon's HP is restored.

The types of damaging Z-Moves are unaffected by {{cat|Abilities that can modify move types|type-modifying Abilities}} (although status Z-Moves' types are).

Additionally, when used as a Z-Move, all {{cat|moves that call other moves}} convert the called move into its corresponding Z-Move, although [[status move]]s called this way do not get their Z-Power effect. Moves stolen by Z-{{m|Snatch}}, reflected by Z-{{m|Magic Coat}}, or instructed by Z-{{m|Instruct}} are not turned into Z-Moves. | ||
