The Tapu Family was a very special group of Legendary Pokémon.
In the Alola Region, they were effectively Alola's rulers.
After all, the Island Kings who governed Alola's various islands were all Trainers chosen by them.
Fang Yuan was very curious. Since the Tapu Family was classified as Land God Pokémon, could they, like traditional land gods, grow stronger through faith?
Alola had always had a tradition of worshipping gods. The Shining God and the Sun and Moon Gods had both been worshipped, and supposedly, the Tapu Family had even fought them over it.
Of course, the Tapu Family had definitely lost. They only learned things like Z-Moves afterward.
At that moment, Fang Yuan recalled the scene from the anime where everyone and every Pokémon turned into light and gave their power to the Shining God...
Damn.
It really did have that vibe. If the Tapu Family could fool Earth's ten billion Trainers and Pokémon into giving them their power and using Z-Moves, even Arceus might have to kneel.
With something like Z-Moves, strength truly came from numbers. A single self-powered Z-Move was definitely not as powerful as a group of people using one together. Fang Yuan and the others understood this deeply; after all, they had once taken down the newborn Mewtwo with a collective Z-Move...
Developing believers might actually be a path of advancement for the Tapu Family.
While the Earth Alliance was still underdeveloped, Trainers were easy to fool, and other High-Level Legendary Pokémon had yet to descend, it really was meaningful for the Tapu Family to scam as many believers as possible...

Not in the Preparation Area of any country.
