During an interview, one of the creators of
Pokemon Sword & Shield shared a number of things about the games. One of these subjects was that Z-Moves would not exist within
Pokemon Sword & Shield. Z-Moves were first introduce back in the Alola Region, having been seen in
Pokemon Sun & Moon and later in
Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Even though this may be disappointing to some, the newest concept of
Dynamax also brings along
Max Moves. In the most simplest of senses, Max Moves have officially replaced Z-Moves for
The Galar Region.
