Darkinium-Z is a Z-Crystal introduced in Generation VII of the Pokémon series. It is an item that, when held by a Pokémon, allows it to perform a powerful Z-Move, as long as the Pokémon is capable of performing a Dark-type move. The Z-Move activated is directly correlated to the base Dark-type move the Pokémon initially knows.
Effects: - Darkinium-Z, when held, authorizes a Pokémon to transform any of its Dark-type moves into a specific Z-Move. A typical example of this would be converting the move "Crunch" into the Z-Move "Black Hole Eclipse," a move recognized for its outstanding power and possible additional effects. - While Z-Moves can only be used once per battle, they do not result in the consumption of the Z-Crystal. Therefore, Darkinium-Z remains with the Pokémon even after the battle has ended.
Interesting Facts: - In order to utilize Darkinium-Z, the Pokémon must also have a Z-Ring or a Z-Power Ring equipped. These are both critical items that facilitate the use of Z-Moves. - The Z-Move known as "Black Hole Eclipse" can be activated via the use of Darkinium-Z.
