When Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon arrive next month, you’ll be able to buy the special Z-Ring. The real-life accessory works with the two games. When using a Z-Move, the Z-Ring lights up, vibrates, and emits sounds to go along with what’s happening in-game.
You can now see what the packaging looks like for the Pokemon Z-Ring Set above. Images of the additional Z-Crystal packs can be found below. They are: Ghostium, Bugnium, Darkinium, Normalium, Fightinium, Electrium, Steelium, Poisonium, Rockium, Firium, Grassium, and Waterium.

Fans can look forward to a roster with a ton of different characters between the Dragon Ball anime and movies.
