Legendary Pokémon? Legendary Pokémon Are Exactly Who I'm Here to Beat! (Double-length, 4k)

Although Silvally was an artificial knockoff modeled after Type: Null, most people still classified it as a "Legendary Pokémon."

But judging by its performance in the anime, its strength wasn't even worth comparing to top-tier legendaries like Groudon and Kyogre.

It fell far short even of Zeraora, the "Mythical Pokémon" from its own generation.

Clearly, Gladion had thought this decision through.

"Multi-Attack!"

Having grasped the true key to battling Xia Chi during the previous exchange, Gladion opened with an all-out assault!
