The Relics

The Relics are special items that are bound to a specific Pokemon. As of Unova Edition, any Pokemon can have a Relic. These items boost the said bound Pokemon's stats and will also allow fusion moves/special moves, use of normally non-learnable TM/HMs, sometimes special forms, and various other effects such as auras/glowing/etc when activated. Z-moves are the ultra-powerful and max damaging moves as their connected relic is the strongest kind. An example is King wielding Grassium Z. Relics will be bound to a specific Pokemon of the species, unless the Pokemon is killed, the relic is gifted/given away, or stolen (though contro! can be regained if taken back).

The items, according to the canon, come from the Ultraverse. They landed on earth and various other places, foretelling the Pokerus spread due to Mew, and the legendaries/mythicals. Only one of each pure relic (Z Crystals) remain to thiday, and the rest are non-Z-powered.y.

Relics can also appear as other objects, such as mega stones. The biggest way to tell if something is a relic/special version of that object or not is to look for any differences, whether in look or "behavior". As there is no such thing as shiny mega stones, different coloration is a key factor in telling items apart.

More information can be found for each individual relic on their own page.
