>>28548169It fought a gauntlet of 10 mega trainers which ended with a fight against Elite 4 Malva and he won by 2HKOing her (OHKO if you don't count the flamethrowers colliding and exploding in the middle of the arena).
It got shown trading hits with Zygarde and knocking Zygarde around 3 times. 2 of which are knock downs. Even took Zygarde's signature move Land's Wrath and was still flying afterwards ready to fight. Even at the start of the series before training, he exchanged hits with the champion and gave E4 Siebold a good fight to showcase his general powerlevel.
It was always a bullshit pokemon but people were too busy downplaying everything Alan did by saying Malva took it easy or Alan cheated to realize they were setting up Tobias 2.0 - a powerful opponent who'll beat Ash but with a backstory. Which is funny because they also hyped up everything Ash did to high heaven. The moment they saw this in the preview, they all basically wanked it to absurd levels.
