Pikashunium-Z is a special Z-Crystal in the Pokémon series, specifically designed for use by Pikachu. When held by a Pikachu that knows the move Thunderbolt, it allows the Pokémon to upgrade this move into its unique Z-Move: 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. This Z-Move is an extremely powerful Electric-type attack with a base power of 195, which considerably surpasses the standard base power of Thunderbolt (90).
To utilize Pikashunium-Z, the player must possess a Z-Ring (or Z-Power Ring in later games), which is used to harness the power of Z-Crystals. The item is part of the broader game mechanics introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon and continued into Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, which added strategic depth and visual excitement to battles through the use of various Z-Moves.
