GameStop is now taking pre-orders for the Z-Ring accessory. The ring set itself will include one Z-Ring accessory, one Pikachu figure, and 3 Z-Crystals for owners to use.
The site has also included new information about how the ring will interact with the game. The Z-Ring will interact with Pokémon Sun and Moon by allowing players to preform a Z-Move when a corresponding crystal is inserted into the ring. The Z-ring will also be usable in a Role-Play mode that allows players to battle friend without a 3DS. The Z-Ring accessory will launch on November 15th 2016, 3 days before Pokémon Sun & Moon arrives on U.S. shelves.

Experience the world of Pokémon in a new way with the unique POKÉMON Z-RING and Z-CRYSTALS! Compatible with the latest video game titles in the POKÉMON series for Nintendo 3DS Family Systems: Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, the Z-RING can interact and synchronize to enhance the game play experience with new Z-MOVES! In Nintendo 3DS/2DS Mode, Z-CRYSTALS are used in the Z-RING to react simultaneously to the devastating Z-MOVES in the video game with sounds, lights and vibrations! Each Z-CRYSTAL represents a different element type. When an Electric-type Z-CRYSTAL is inserted into the Z-RING, this exciting interactive feature enables players to feel the Electric-type Z-MOVE at the same time as it appears in the video game! Insert different type Z-CRYSTALS into the Z-RING to experience the colors, vibration and sound effects for each.
The POKÉMON Z-RING can be used without the video game in Role-Play mode! Bring the battle play to life by pressing the button on the Z-RING to experience the different colors, lights and vibration with each Z-CRYSTAL! The Z-RING can hold up to six additional Z-CRYSTALS with the active Z-CRYSTAL in place.
The POKÉMON Z-RING SET includes the Z-RING, 3 Z-CRYSTALS and a 2″ Pikachu figure. Additional Z-CRYSTALS sold separately.
