How does Z-Recycle work?

Question

Is its only purpose to boost speed by two stages?

Comments

I don't see how it could do anything, z crystals aren't consumed after use

Answer 1

Correct. When Z-Recycle is used, the Pokémon's Speed will increase by two stages, before the usual effects of Recycle will fail, as it isn't possible to restore a Z-Crystal.
