# Z-Moves

Z-Moves are powerful battle techniques that can be unleashed once per battle. On PokeKingdoms, you earn Z-Crystals by completing in-game quests — no donations or purchases required.

## 🔧 How Z-Moves Work

To use a Z-Move in battle you need two things:

1. **A Z-Ring** — equipped by completing the starter quest
2. **The correct Z-Crystal** — given to your Pokemon as a held item

Each Z-Crystal corresponds to a type (e.g., Firium Z for Fire-type moves) or a specific Pokemon (e.g., Eevium Z for Eevee). When your Pokemon holds the matching Z-Crystal and knows a move of that type, you can activate the Z-Move during battle.

## 🚀 Getting Started

Type `/zmoves` in chat to open the Z-Move quest menu.

### Step 1: Trial of the Z-Ring

Before you can earn any Z-Crystals, you must complete the **Trial of the Z-Ring**. This is a multi-step challenge that tests your skills across all aspects of gameplay:

| Step | Task                      | Target |
| ---- | ------------------------- | ------ |
| 1    | Win wild Pokemon battles  | 100    |
| 2    | Catch Pokemon of any type | 50     |
| 3    | Land super-effective hits | 75     |
| 4    | Mine ore blocks           | 100    |
| 5    | Harvest apricorns         | 50     |
| 6    | Evolve Pokemon            | 25     |
| 7    | Level up Pokemon          | 50     |

**Reward:** Z-Ring + 5,000 Explorer XP

{% hint style="info" %}
These steps must be completed **in order** (sequentially). You cannot work on step 2 until step 1 is finished.
{% endhint %}

### Step 2: Individual Z-Crystal Quests

Each Z-Crystal has its own quest available in the `/zmoves` menu. You can work on these quests independently — you do **not** need to complete the Z-Ring trial first.

Each quest is a multi-step trial themed around the crystal's type. For example, the Firium Z trial involves defeating Fire-type Pokemon, harvesting red apricorns, and breaking magma blocks.
