— November 21, 2017 — Life-Stages
Tomy recently launched the Pokémon Z-Ring Set, which takes the form of a wearable that is compatible with the Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon games for the Nintendo 3DS.

The Z-Power Ring is to be worn on the wrist like a bracelet to provide a greater in-depth gameplay. With the wearable, lights, sounds and vibrations that sync up with the in-game content can be experienced. Together, the Z-Crystals work together to create the powerful battle move.

There are a number of crystals that can be attached to the Z-Ring, each of which is representative of a different element or type of Pokémon character. The Z-Ring is capable of holding six crystals and can be unused to unlock a range of colors, lights and vibrations.
