Facing his opponent's powerful Mega Mawile, Zhang Cheng likewise chose to have his Ampharos undergo Mega Evolution. Only then would they stand a chance.
Zhang Cheng took out Ampharos's Evolution Crystal. A stream of pure Electric-type energy flew out of it and swiftly flowed into Ampharos's body.
With that power boosting Ampharos, its body grew considerably larger, and all its stats increased.
After it underwent Mega Evolution into Mega Ampharos, the biggest change was its Special Attack. Mega Ampharos's Special Attack reached a staggering 165, making its Electric-type moves immensely powerful.
But against Mega Mawile, having Ampharos undergo Mega Evolution actually came with a drawback.
That drawback was its Dragon typing. Mega Ampharos was a dual Electric- and Dragon-type, which left it vulnerable to Mega Mawile's Fairy-type moves.

Zhang Cheng launched the first offensive, ordering Mega Ampharos to attack with its signature Electric-type move.
"Baa~ Baa~"
Mega Ampharos nodded to Zhang Cheng, using the power within its body to keep drawing in Electric-type energy.
A vast amount of Electric-type energy gathered into an imposing dragon of lightning. Once formed, the dragon charged toward Mega Mawile, carrying a dense mass of Electric-type energy.

Mega Mawile effortlessly gathered a large amount of Steel-type energy atop its head, then thrust its hard head straight at the lightning dragon descending from above.
The two collided, rapidly burning through both Steel-type and Electric-type energy. In the end, the lightning dragon's greater reserves prevailed, exhausting all the Steel-type power surrounding Mega Mawile's
