Making a return to your adventures throughout The Alola Region is that of Z Moves. Z Moves are especially strong attacks, usable with the harnessed power of Z Crystals and your Z Ring. Each Z Crystal is a given type - a player will obtain and find all of them throughout the game - and it provides a Z Move for the same given type of move if said Pokemon has that type of move and is holding its corresponding Z Crystal. Some Z Moves and Z Crystal are even exclusive to one given Pokemon Species.
Z Moves aren't usually set as whether or not they are a Physical or Special Attack, as well as not having a set Base Power. Instead, damage is calculated on the Base Move that is used. One example of this is Gigavolt Havoc: if used off the base move of Nuzzle, it will be a Physical Attack (like Nuzzle) with a strength of only 100; if used off the base move of Thunderbolt, it will be a Special Attack (like Thunderbolt) with a base power now of 175.
But there are a few restrictions to Z Moves, much like the concept of Mega Evolutions. To start, only one Z Move can be used by only one Pokemon per battle. Said Pokemon, aforementioned, must also know a move of the same given type of Z Crystal (you can't use Grassium Z, for example, on a Water Type Attack). Z Moves also break through the move Protect, but at the cost of 25% of the Max Damage of said move.
