Fang Yuan and Leon's battle ended in an instant.
Fang Yuan had once again confirmed the unique nature of Gigantamax.
The most noticeable change in a Gigantamax Pokémon was that it could take far more punishment.
Its true body was protected by an enormous Energy Projection. Unless the Energy Projection was shattered, the true body could not be harmed.
Although Infernape's instant defeat of Gigantamax Dragapult had seemed to take only a moment, Infernape's combination skill of Double Team, Thunder Punch, Fire Punch, and Intertwined Power consumed an enormous amount of energy.
It had taken dozens, perhaps hundreds, of punches to collapse the Energy Projection.
Furthermore, the power of a Gigantamax Move was roughly comparable to a Z-Move, and it also came with special effects.
Without specific battlefield restrictions, Gigantamax was not much inferior to Mega Evolution or Z-Moves. Each had its own strengths and weaknesses.
However, the problem was equally obvious. If it encountered an opponent whose offense and defense were no weaker than its own, but whose speed was greater, Gigantamax would be put in a very passive position.
Like in the battle just now, before the opponent had even completed its attack, Infernape had already unleashed a series of complex combination skills.
"If Leon's Gigantamax Charizard has greater mastery over Gigantamax than this Dragapult, then it won't be easy for Infernape to instantly collapse that massive Energy Projection with Morning Peacock."
"By then, if it can't break down Gigantamax immediately, taking a Gigantamax Move will hurt badly—unless it's a Fire-type or Electric-type move."
"If it concentrates its attack into a single point, it can deliver a stronger punch, but whether that one point can collapse the entire projection is unknown. Likewise, the burden on Infernape's body will be even greater... Forget it. Self-inflicted damage is nothing new
