Z-Moves exist and require that a pokemon's trainer, human or ghost, has gotten their hands particular crystal shards of concentrated ectoplasm.
So the ability to use Z-Moves is more common to ghosts as Z-Crystals are more likely to be found in the Ghost Zone, but some Z-Crystals have ended up in the Material World and so are, rarely, found in human hands.

Just like her master, Lana’s Primarina can do Oceanic Operetta ☝️💦 (Sun & Moon episode 123)
[わだつみのシンフォニア / Sea God's Symphonia]
Lana masters Oceanic Operetta
In tribute to Alola's perversion of the natural order, language is also a sloppy affair. Nothing is known by the right name.
Meet Bewear:
The red panda.
Or ham in a catsuit.
Sandygast has a shovel in his head:
Technically that's a trowel, but they mean a spade. Children don't build sandcastles with buckets and shovels.
A Z-Crystal:
Only glass shatters so easily.
Which is a bracelet.
Here's a Z-Ring:
And what's this 'Zee Rings'? Zed Rings sounds a lot more badass.
Too scary for modern kids.
Yeah, but what rhymes with 'zee'?
Twee!
Wee!
What rhymes with 'zed'?
DREAD!
DEAD!
They play 'Pokémon base':
What's that then? Double bass? Drum and bass?
Don't be ridiculous. This is music in Alola:
Incest has terrible consequences.
I remember Bases. It's a den dug in a wall, decorated with Lilycove products, but most contain bottomless pits of oblivion.
Another ingenious design from Game Freak.
It's the inbreds' cack-handed attempt at a sport. Teams are half livestock as much of the human population is rendered unfit from various genetic abnormalities.
What, rounders, or, for the Septics, 'baseball'?
Third Generation bastards: I checked every likely spot in Hoenn, just for one structurally safe location, and then -
Shut up!
That's right. 'Ball' is forbidden. 'Base' by itself it much clearer terminology.
How come when Casey was a fan baseball was:
A. Called 'baseball'
B. Played by men and men alone?
This is Pokémon School:
About time an' all. Handwriting these days is atrocious. I haven't understood a single printed word since 4Kids stopped doing the dub.
Not that kind of school.
No tests.
No subjects.
No uniform.
No discipline.
No pupils but these six.
No teachers but that gonk Cuckoo.
No information that couldn't be learned out on the road.
Nothing Ash won't forget and have to relearn in every future region.
Not a school then. A youth club with no snooker table.
Ah well, keeps 'em off the glue.
Said so-called educational cesspit is run by the Ronseal'd headmaster, 'Principal Oak':
Jimmy Savile up to his old mischief again.
And Popplio blows balloons:
...
IT'S BLOODY BUBBLES!!!
I have an in-universe Headcanon on why Z-Moves are not in Sword and Shield
The reason is because Alola do NOT want Z-Crystals to be taken outside of Alola, it is a sacred item that ties to Alolan culture, and they do not want it to be used freely in other regions. So there’s a ban on distributing Z-Crystals to different regions, including the Galar Region. So yeah, no Z-Moves cause Alola is protective of their shiny crystals full of culture and tradition.
All these Z-Crystals in Qamor would be pretty useless without a device to use them on, and it seems the region has it's own version of a Z-Ring! The Z-Cord is a handcrafted bracelet with an adjustable strap to comfortably fit all sizes. Evidence shows the Z-Cord and Z-Crystals were used abundantly throughout Qamor's history, Professor of Anthropology Donovan Zamia suspects Z-Crystals were possibly initially introduced by ancient Alolan tribes via ocean trade routes with the native people of Qamor. The Z-Cord comes in a variety of colors, you can start with any of the 4 above and unlock more later on your journey!
Getto Da Ze! (*∀*)
