The central legendary monster in the upcoming "Pokemon Ultra Sun" and "Ultra Moon," Necrozma, is getting a boost on its already strong arsenal with powerful new Z-moves for both of his previously revealed forms.

Dusk Mane Necrozma is getting the brand new Z-move called Searing Sunraze Smash. It can be activated when the legendary Pokemon is holding the item Solganium Z. Dawn Wings Necrozma, on the other hand, will be getting the move Menacing Moonraze Malestrom while equipped with the item Lunalium Z.

The names of these attacks alone seem to indicate very powerful effects, which should not come as a surprise as these forms are some of the central figures in the new narrative of "Pokemon Ultra Sun" and "Ultra Moon."

Necrozma, in its base form, can also learn a brand new attack called Photo Geyser. This move is a Psychic-type attack that is exclusive to Necrozma.

The Prism Pokemon Necrozma can combine with the familiar version mascots of the previous "Pokemon Sun" and "Moon" titles in the series. When combining with Solgaleo, Necrozma becomes Dusk Mane Necrozma, while Dawn Wings Necrozma results when it combines with Lunala.

Aside from the legendary beasts, the Rotom Dex, the sentient version of the Pokedex that was featured heavily on the previous games is also getting Z-powers of its own. If the player interacts with Rotom Dex enough, the bond between them will grow to a point that the Pokedex's Z-power will be unlocked. This will allow players to use two Z-moves during a single battle, which will have a great impact especially in difficult battles.

The Pokedex can help out players with the move called Roto Loto, wherein it gives away free items and Pokemon Eggs. This is no doubt a welcome addition to the game and will surely provide new experiences to Pokemon players.

"Pokemon Ultra Sun" and "Ultra Moon" will be released for Nintendo 3DS on Nov. 17.
