Fusion technique skills consumed so much stamina that trainers rarely risked using them at the start of a match, before the battle's outcome began to take shape. If they failed to defeat the opponent, the Pokémon using them would undoubtedly be left in a desperate position.
After all, they differed from force domain power.
As the name suggested, a fusion technique skill was still fundamentally a move. It simply converted and fused different energies, changing its form and type to achieve greater power.
Both, however, possessed all kinds of unique properties.
The greatest difference was that, setting aside the immensely powerful "Power Assault Type force domains" and the energy-hungry "state-type force domains," even "Support Type force domains" did not excessively drain a Pokémon's stamina.

And now, Steelix's force domain power could almost passively affect its surroundings. Combined with its tremendous stamina, this arguably made Steelix the only one of Yong's partners that did not need to worry about the toll of fusion technique skills.
For fusion technique skills, the norm was to expend ample stamina to trigger an eruption of energy and inflict tremendous damage!

As its cry rang out,
