{{s|bulbapedia|Z-Move}}s are a mechanic introduced in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Sun and Moon|''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'']]. They are an exceptionally powerful variant of the move they are based on. To use a Z-Move, a Pokémon must be holding the {{s|bulbapedia|Z-Crystal}} corresponding to the type of intended move, and their trainer must have a {{s|bulbapedia|Z-Ring}} or {{s|bulbapedia|Z-Power Ring}}.

Although any Pokémon is capable of using Z-Moves, a select group of Pokémon have signature Z-Moves. {{s|bulbapedia|Malicious Moonsault}} is a Dark-type Z-Move exclusive to Incineroar, which acts as a powered-up version of its {{s|bulbapedia|signature move}}, [[Darkest Lariat]]. Upon activation, Incineroar summons a wrestling ring underneath the target. It then charges toward the ring, leaps onto one of its top turnbuckles, uses its flame belt to engulf itself in flames, and then performs a [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling aerial techniques#450° splash|450° splash]] that generates a massive explosion to engulf the ring. Its base power is 180, although its damage output is doubled if the target has used {{s|bulbapedia|Minimize}}. Like other Z-Moves, however, it has only 1 {{s|bulbapedia|Power Point}} (PP).

The boxing ring where the cinematic occurs is likely a reference to the {{s|bulbapedia|Battle Royal Dome}} located in the game's {{s|bulbapedia|Akala Island}}. Players can participate against three other opponents in Battle Royals that are located in a boxing ring, similar to the setting of Max Malicious Moonsault; the last trainer to remain standing is the winner of the Battle Royal

==Trivia==
*Contrary to its English name, Max Malicious Moonsault does not involve a {{s|wikipedia|moonsault}} whatsoever. Rather, it concludes with a diving battering ram. This also applies to the Z-Move it is based on, which is a [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling aerial techniques#450° splash|450° splash]].

*Although Incineroar is able to use a Z-Move by itself in ''Smash'', only [[Marshadow]] has ever been shown capable of using a Z-Move on its own without a trainer with a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal to use it, in [[bulbapedia:M20|''Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!'']].
*Although Incineroar is able to use a Z-Move by itself in ''Smash'', only [[Mimikyu]] has ever been shown capable of using a Z-Move on its own without a trainer with a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal to use it.
*Max Malicious Moonsault's cinematic occurs in a modified version of [[Boxing Ring]], making it the only Final Smash to involve another [[stage]]. Instead of either a ''Punch-Out!!'' or ''Smash'' symbol, a generic "impact/collision" symbol appears in the center.
*Max Malicious Moonsault's cinematic occurs in a modified version of [[Boxing Ring]], making it the only Final Smash to involve another [[stage]].
*Strangely, when Incineroar performs the dropkick, its feet are briefly shown to have claws on the ends of them. While these claws also appear in its forward smash, up, and back aerials, they have never been seen in its official artwork, or its official appearances in ''Pokémon''.
*Strangely, when Incineroar performs the dropkick, its feet are briefly shown to have claws on the ends of them. These are not present anywhere else in-game, in its official artwork, or its official appearances in ''Pokémon''.
*If Incineroar uses the Final Smash on {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}}, the duck will appear standing on the dog's back in a T pose while the dog has regular animations relating to the attack.

**During the dive, Incineroar clips through the duck.
