[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

Weird, but cool at the same time! Saves have to collect multiple copies of if you want to equip your whole team with them, for some reason. Of course, if you have multiple Key Stones/Mega Braclets, then using more than one Z Move per battle is certainly possible...

Yeap, that is good enough for me! Of course, seeing as Arbok, Weavile, and Kingdra all have Items they much rather prefer holding than a one time Buff Item, using them on them is less than optimal in most cases.

....I have actually completely forgotten, now that you remind me. I gave Phantom the information on how they worked, so maybe she still has the notes available for their original usage? If not, I'll have to come up with another mechanic for them...

Yeah, but there is ONE downside to it in the games...because of that mechanic, you aren't allowed to trade Z-crystals.  Any pokemon holding a Z-crystal loses it when traded.  And because the original Z-crystal can never be equipped to a pokemon in the games (they're essentially Key Items)...well, it made a lot of people really, really annoyed that Snorlium, Pikashunium, Marshadium, and Mewnium Z are event exclusive since ownership is exclusive to the save file the event was obtained on, and you lose the z-crystal forever if you overwrite the old save with a new one.  In-universe, this probably means you lose all your z-crystals of that type if you misplace your original one...

And actually, Weavile isn't holding an item currently, so he could in theory use the Dark Z-Crystal...Pickpocket is mostly a passive effect for him anyways, and he could still technically swipe some items since holding multiple items is possible according to the rulebook (you just can't use multiple items in the same battle if you haven't consumed the one you were using already, typically).  Dark doesn't have a lot of super powerful Z-move bases in the games, though...Night Slash and Dark Pulse are the strongest ones (disregarding Hyperspace Fury).  But hey, at least very, very few types resist its damage, so...yeah, it'll hurt anyways.

Oh yeah, speaking of Mewnium Z, that reminds me...I'm sure Reiner is gonna have a lot of fun learning about Genesis Supernova from Mew.  The only hard part would actually be finding that Z-crystal...

Well, guess you'll have to get back to me on that one, then.
