Either take Bond Phenomenon, an transformation lost to the hands of time with only Legends and relics retelling the past of Trainers tapping into the unknown potential of their pokemon with the strength and conviction of their bond.
Or take the recton, where the ability to become one with Greninja is identical of or to the feeling of Lucario's aura, making it despite the lacking elaboration an Aura-sensitive Pokemon rarity, with its strength being refined over time in the care of Ash over the course of XY.
