In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

"That's right, it's a Z-Move, but have you seen me use it?"

Bakura nodded. Although he was an Alola trainer, he had never used a Z-Move since becoming a champion.

What is the reason for this?

"Z-Moves are very strong, with their power far exceeding that of ordinary Pokémon moves. However, the activation time for Z-Moves is too long for me, which is why I prefer to use Mega Evolution."

Bakura showed Rose the Mega Key Stone on his wrist. He was the Alola Elite Four Champion, but he used Mega Evolution, which originated from the Kalos region.

why?

Because Super Evolution is simple, practical, and powerful!

Z-Moves have too long a startup time, and Dynamax has terrain limitations, so Mega Evolution is the most practical.

Although Mega Evolution did not originate from Alola, if it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. Mammon doesn't see anything wrong with that.

Compared to Mega Evolution, Z-Moves and Dynamax are actually easier to obtain. This is because if the trainer and Pokémon don't have enough synergy, it's difficult to successfully Mega Evolve, and it also requires a special Mega Stone.

Forced Mega Evolution can also cause Mega Evolved Pokémon to go out of control, but it is undeniable that, on average, Mega Evolution is more practical than Z-Move Dynamax.

The Z-Move has an excessively long wind-up. In high-level matches, is your opponent an idiot? Standing there waiting for you to complete the Z-Move, giving you that much time to activate it? Besides, even if you do activate it, the Z-Move is ultimately a special move.

The other party can't dodge anymore?

There's also Dynamax. Putting aside the issue of not being able to Dynamax without Dynamax Power Points, Dynamax has a time limit!

In the game, Dynamax can only last for three turns, and official data clearly indicates that the only boosts in Dynamax form are HP! and the special move is transformed into a Dynamax move.

Yes, Dynamax doesn't actually improve attack, defense, or anything like that, let alone speed.

However, Dynamax moves are stronger than regular moves, which is equivalent to increasing attack power.

Dynamaxing increases size, inevitably making movements sluggish, in addition to the limitations of terrain and time in Dynamax form.

How can Dynamax be as useful as Mega Evolution?

As for the Z-Move, it's even worse. The awkward pre-move animation was enough to earn Bakura's lowest rating for it, making Dynamax even worse.

In battles between trainers of average skill level, it's fine, but in high-level battles, using a Z-Move is basically giving your opponent an advantage, unless there are certain special circumstances.

After all, reality isn't a turn-based game where you only look at the Pokémon's stats and it's a matter of one attack from you and another from me.

Therefore, Bakura never encouraged Alola trainers to use Z-Moves too much. Instead, he encouraged them to look out for themselves and learn Mega Evolution if they had Mega Stones.

"...So you think I'm wrong?" Rose was silent for a long time after hearing this, then rubbed his temples wearily.

Even Bakura, the Alola Elite Four champion, is like that.

“There’s no right or wrong, we just need to face reality.” Bakura shook his head. The reality is that if you want to grow and expand, you absolutely cannot close yourself off.

We must not give up what we should absorb.

"At the same time, if Mr. Rose is willing, once Eternatus successfully Dynamaxes, I can take Eternatus to set up several Dynamax energy points in other regions."

"In this way, the Dynamax ability, unique to the Galar region, has been spread to all parts of the world, right?"

Bakura smiled slightly at Rose.

"Is that really true?" Loz's eyes lit up when he heard this. If that were true...

"Of course it's true. Doesn't Mr. Rose trust me?" Bakura shrugged. If Mugentai really succeeded in becoming a Mugen Giant, setting up a few energy points outside would be a piece of cake.

"If that's the case, Bakura, you've successfully convinced me."

After pondering for a moment, Lorze smiled at Bakura. Although it was different from his plan, after talking for so long, he had indeed been persuaded by Bakura.

That's right, his plans were all too presumptuous.

"However, I can't make the decision to absorb the Dynamax energy of the entire Galar region on my own. I need to discuss it with Leon."

After hesitating for a moment, Rhodes spoke to Bakura.

This matter concerns the entire Galar region. It's such a big deal that even if he's the chairman of the Galar Regional Alliance, he still has to discuss it with the higher-ups in the Galar region.

“Of course, no problem. But Mr. Loz, the energy in your energy plant seems to be quite abundant.”

····Requesting flowers·····

Bakura nodded to indicate that he understood, and then looked at the energy plant behind him.

Wuji Tai just mentioned to him telepathically that the energy plant is extremely rich in energy.

"Hehe... This was originally the Wishing Star energy I collected. If you don't mind, it's fine to let Wujitana enjoy some."

Loz was taken aback by what he heard, then chuckled and generously replied to Bakura.

This energy factory was built for his plan, and most of the Wishing Star energy collected here is for the preparation of Eterna.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. Mugentsuna has already been subdued by Bakura, and now Rose's ideas have changed again.

He was ready to open the gates of Galar; the country could no longer remain closed off.

.............

Once Baku uses Eternatus to establish Dynamax Power Points in various regions, the reputation of the Galar region can be greatly enhanced.

It's a win-win situation, but as for the problem of the Galar energy depletion a thousand years from now, we should think of other solutions.

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Lorze." Bakura's smile deepened.

"Mukutana, your good news is here."

He threw the Poké Ball, and the massive Eternatus landed heavily on the ground, its crimson light eerily illuminating the underground energy plant.

"So this is Mugentana~"

Gazing at the enormous bone dragon before him, Loz's eyes flickered as he uttered a sigh.

It's also the origin of Dynamax in their Galar region, unfortunately...

It was actually subdued by Bakura from another region. But that makes sense. Apart from Bakura, even Dan-e probably couldn't subdue this Mugentsuna.

Wujitana didn't hold back at all, letting out a low roar as it began absorbing energy from the energy factory.

However, it still listened to Bakura and did not recklessly drain all the energy.

Yeah, otherwise Loz would be heartbroken.

--------------------------------

(Personally, I think Mega Evolution is much more practical than Z-Move Dynamax. A careful comparison will reveal that Z-Move Dynamax has too many flaws, while Mega Evolution is more balanced and stable. This is why I wrote about Alola but not Z-Moves. I really can't appreciate the awkward dance moves, and... it can only be used once per battle (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are a little different, there's a way to use it again). If you can't hit after the dance move and it can be blocked by Protect, then it's really too weak.)

Chapter 573 Gigantamax: You actually used Gigantamax to fight the source of Gigantamax (Please subscribe to the full chapter)

The Motostoke Arena. This is a famous arena throughout the Galar region, and the reason is simple: Motostoke's Gym Leader is Raihana!

Raihana is the strongest Gym Leader in the entire Galar region and also Leon's formidable rival.

In the Galar region, where competitive sports are prevalent, the stronger the trainer, the more respect they deserve!

It's that simple.

At that moment, Bakura and Rose were sitting in the Hammerlocke arena, waiting for someone to arrive.

"roar~"

A Pokémon roared, and an orange-red Charizard descended from the sky. Leon, wearing a champion's cape, leaped off Charizard's back.

"Hi~ President Rose, Champion Bakura."

With a bright and cheerful smile, Dan greeted Rose and Bakura.

"Champion Dandi, it's been a long time."

Bakura smiled and replied to Dan Di, who still held a rather favorable impression of him.

Although he once used the identity of Orochimaru as "517" and fought against Dan in Goldenrod City.

But as I said before, Bakura will always give the most basic respect to truly powerful and determined trainers.

Moreover, the Pill Emperor's strength is indeed very strong.

"You're a bit late, we've been waiting for you for a long time," Rose said to Dante with a light laugh.

He had a very good relationship with Dan Di, and he was also Dan Di's mentor, watching Dan Di grow step by step to where he is today.

This is why, in the original work, he wanted Leon to be the Eternatus trainer.

Because in Rose's mind, Dan was the most suitable candidate.

"Haha~ Sorry, sorry, there's still some distance between Miyagi City and Motostoke City. Charizard is already flying at full speed."

Dan-di scratched his head and laughed, then looked at Bakura.

"I really didn't expect you to come to Galar, Bakura. You didn't tell me beforehand, so I could have given you a proper welcome."

"There's no need to be so polite. I mainly came to Galar to take care of some business." Bakura shook his head.

"Oh? Do you need any help?"

"We really need your help with this. Mr. Lorz will explain it to us."

Seeing the curious look on Dan Di's face, Bakura glanced at Rose and smiled.

Before me are the League Chairman of the Galar region and the Elite Four Champion, if only they both agree.

Then Bakura could also let Eternatus absorb all the Dynamax energy in the Galar region without any scruples.

Dan looked at Loz with suspicion; it seemed this was no simple matter.

"That's right, Bakura came here because of the Dynamax energy..."

Loz briefly and clearly explained Bakura's purpose to Dan.

After a long while, the Pill Emperor pondered and finally understood.

"Bakura, have you subdued Mugenta?" Dan asked Bakura.

"Yes."

"So we need to use the Dynamax energy from the Galar region to restore Eternatus to its Dynamax form?"

“Yes, you could understand it that way.” Bakura nodded.

Upon hearing this, Leon frowned slightly. His thoughts were actually similar to Rose's. In the Galar region, people were already used to Dynamax battles.
