I kinda hate Z-Moves, I don't use them at all in competitive battling, but for christ's sake, it's fucking stupid how they throw a 180 BP move and you can only survive it if your pokemon has a resistance to that move.

Damn.

The only thing I dislike about them is how stupid most of them look. Gamefreak is monumentally lazy so they couldnt be assed to animate the pokemon even moving slightly for some of them, some of them are REALLY kiddy, the dance is stupid, and the text and puns in the names are ugly and dumb.

Yeah, seriously. It just looks so fucking dumb. I was okay with Fairy as a type at first, but then they really just made it into the "Fag" type.

Guardian of Alola should've been an OHKO move that never misses

Same here. I can get past the name. Maybe even the pose. But the animation I can't stand because there IS no animation. The pokemon literally just slides up without any movement whatsoever, tilts side to side then somehow blasts the opponent into space without even using an attacking animation.

Z-moves are literally improved gems(makes shit like Hyper Beam and Splash worthwhile) except they can't be Knocked Off so a Terrakion holding a Z-crystal can sponge Knock Off's all day and hell breaks lose.

They're great.

You say this as if the majority of mons can survive more than two hits of anything anyway.

Dumb thread.

Z-Moves are awesome! They take away some of the more annoying drawbacks out there.
>First Draco Meteor you use is Z-Boosted ,so it doesn't drop your SpA
>Same thing on Superpower, Leaf Storm, V-Create, and Fleur cannon
>Use Fightium-Z so you can make sure at least one of your Focus Blasts hit
>Also does its job making your Thunder, Fire Blast, Hydro Pump, Focus Punch (lol), High Jump Kick, and Stone Edge hit when you REALLY need it to (and get a little extra power)
>Lets you have the extra power to break a wall, and if you're using an Ultra Beast or Moxie user, or, hell Magearna, you can get power boosts and get a sweep going.
>Allows almost anyone to be a wallbreaker since stallfags have to fear random Z-moves all over the place
Z-moves are the best thing to happen to this game since weather was nerfed.

Worst part is that you can't skip the cutscenes that come with them.

Wait a minute, what if the running animations that were found for all the Pokemon were for Z-moves?

Terrakion can sponge Knock Offs
Terrakion has Justified and resists Knock Off. If you're using Terrakion and get hit by a knock off, realistically you're gonna be pretty damn happy regardless of what item you just lost.

Yeah but now with Z-Crystals, you lose nothing while attempting to get a boost from a Knock Off. Its the perfect anti-utility mon.

You are fucking retarded, Z-Moves are better than Megas, they can turn a low tier mon like Porygon-Z into a killer machine with Z-Conversion.

I think Megas are garbage, but what you're saying is false.

name five other mons from previous gens that are actually made notably better by a Z-Move like Porygon Z is
Porygon Z is the exception, not the rule

>they can turn a low tier mon [...] into a killer machine
That's literally exactly what Mega Evolution does.
>Kangaskhan: NU to Uber
>Pinsir: NU to OU
>Ampharos: PU to UU
>Mawile: PU to Uber
>Manectric: NU to OU
>Beedrill: PU to UU
>Pidgeot: PU to BL
>Altaria: PU to BL
>Lopunny: PU to OU
>Gallade: RU to BL
>Aggron: NU to UU
(Comparison between non-Mega and Mega in Gen VI tiers)

Why don't you give me a similar list but with Z-moves instead of Mega Evolution? Protip: you fucking can't.
