In the games.
A whole Wish Star could be made into a Dynamax Band, while fragments tossed into Pokémon dens could summon Dynamax Pokémon.
The anime kept only the first part of that setup.
There were no dens—fixed other-dimensional sites that produced Dynamax Pokémon. Galar Particles appeared out of nowhere and made their way into Wild Pokémon on their own.
Unlike Z-Crystals, which formed in mineral veins, Wish Stars were small meteorites that fell from the sky, much like Eternatus, the Alien Poison Dragon.
Some said Wish Stars fell before people who truly had dreams.
In other words, if one was meant for you, it would come to you.
The Porygon Phone grew excited when it heard that.
"If we found a way to collect Wish Stars, couldn't Orre also—"
"Not likely."
Baimu shook his head. "Galar rose to prominence because of Dynamax. How could it allow large numbers of Wish Stars to leave the region? Besides, they aren't easy to collect. Unless one falls right in front of you, you'd never beat the Galar League to it! One or two Wish Stars wouldn't last long anyway!"
The Energy Factory beneath Hammerlocke was another matter. It could supply Dynamax energy continuously for a thousand years.
Steal it?
Rose would probably lose his mind.
The mere prospect of what might happen a thousand years from now had already driven him halfway there. If the Energy Factory was robbed, he would likely do something even more extreme.
"All right..."
The Porygon Phone had to abandon its plan, though it still dreamed of finding a Wish Star.
It sent a Clone out to search for quite a while. Only after Metapod reverted from Dynamax and cleared the tracks did the Clone return empty-handed.
The train started moving again.
The conductor explained the situation
