Hello friends. I'm here with some leaks regarding the new Pokemon games debuting this fall. Enjoy!
>Z-Moves are now key items. Pokemon holding Z-Crystals can't be traded to USUM
>Pokemon no longer need to holdZ-Crystals to use Z-Moves. Instead, you just need the respective Z-Crystal in your bag. However, you are still only permitted to use one Z-Move per battle. Consider it akin to Mega Evolving Rayquaza.
>Moves that inflict a status condition as their only effect will inflict "Z-versions" of those effects.
>Many players who relied on such strategies may realize that many status conditions have had their effects reduced over past years. This was in preparation for Z-status moves.
>Z-Spore, Z-Hypnosis, and the like inflict Z-sleep. A pokemon inflicted with Z-Sleep will remain asleep for 2-4 turns. Their sleep counter is reset when withdrawn.
>Pokemon with abilities that suppress Sleep, like Vital Spirit can be inflicted with Z-Sleep but will wake sooner.
>Moves like Stun Spore and Thunder Wave will inflict Z-Paralysis. Z-Paralysis reduces the victim's speed by 75% and have a 33% chance of losing their turn.
>Abilities like Limber will cause Z-Paralysis to last 1-2 turns.
>Z-Burn will halve the target's attack and special attack in addition to reducing their HP by 1/8th per turn. Use a pokemon with Water Veil to cure itself faster!
These are but a few of the changes made in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon and we hope you enjoy them!
