It is a fan-made creative tool that randomly pairs Z-Moves, Pokémon abilities, and move combinations to inspire new strategies and creative builds, going beyond the official Gen 7 mechanics.

Question 3

What are the types of Z-Moves?

A Z-Crystal matching one of the 18 Pokémon types (or a Pokémon-specific crystal for exclusive moves), a Z-Ring or Z-Power Ring worn by the Trainer, and a compatible base move whose PP is consumed.
