Z-Crystals
A Z-Crystal is a type-specific, diamond-shaped gem that increase the chances of hatching an Albino Pokémon.
Obtaining
Z-Crystals are obtained at the Type Race. In order to obtain one, a user must score 200 personal points in the race, and everyone on the type team combined must meet a community goal of 2,000,000 points. Once those two criteria have been met, users will be able to get a Z-Crystal that matches the type of the team they were on.
Usage
Z-Crystals are used on the Albino Radar to boost its power as if it was a level higher. If used on a Radar that is charged at level 7, it will raise the Radar's chances as though it was boosted to a hypothetical level 8. However, the Z-Crystal's power will only work on Eggs whose type matches that of the Z-Crystal. For dual-typed Eggs, so long as at least one type matches the Z-Crystal's, it will gain the boost.
The exact percentage of a level 8 boost is unknown. However, it is approximated that a level 7 Albino Radar charged with 100 Interaction Points will have a 700.8% total boost, and a level 7 charge with 100,000 Interaction Points will have a 17,924.8% total boost.
Z-Fragments
A Z-Fragment is a shard of a Z-Crystal. Alone, it cannot be used to charge the Albino Radar. However, when enough fragments are collected, they can be combined into a complete crystal.
Obtaining
Z-Fragments, like Z-Crystals, are obtained at the Type Race. Up to ten fragments can be earned. Unlike Z-Crystals, however, shards are obtained separately from the community goal. Even if the community goal is not met, users can get however many Z-Fragments they earned.
Fragments Earned | Points Needed |
---|---|
1 | 100 |
2 | 200 |
3 | 300 |
4 | 400 |
5 | 500 |
6 | 600 |
7 | 700 |
8 | 800 |
9 | 900 |
10 | 1000 |
Creating a Z-Crystal
In order to create a Z-Crystal, 7 Z-Fragments of the crystal need to be assembled. They cannot be of different types. Only 7 Normalium Fragments will create a Normalium Z, for example. Once 7 fragments are obtained, they can be brought to the Albino Hunting page and put together under the Z-Crystals tab.

Trivia
- Z-Fragments weren't initially released with Z-Crystals. They were added on December 1st, 2017, in an effort on Niet's part to have users participate in the Type Race past the individual goal[1].
- The number of fragments needed to make a crystal wasn't lowered to 7 until three days later.
