Even Necrozma can’t “nuke” classic Pokemon debate

The ongoing discussion of whether a single Pokemon could defeat a billion lions in a battle continues to circulate on online forums and social media platforms.

On the surface, the idea may seem absurd. However, putting all the Pokemon up against 1 billion lions is a valid method to gauge the strength of Pocket Monsters in the modern era.

One billion lions are considered an unstoppable force, unless you introduce beyond-nuclear power into the equation. The legendary debate among Pokemon fans was reignited on X.

The Z-Move Light That Burns the Sky was being shared by its creator, @kishdontmiss, kick-starting the discussion about the incredible strength of Ultra Necrozma within the community.

In reaction to this, numerous Pokemon enthusiasts joined in, proposing that Ultra Necrozma might be the answer to the 1 billion lions debate.

It was evident that the community was split and finding it difficult to come to a consensus on whether Light That Burns the Sky could successfully confront the lions, even if they were to use a “lion shield.”

Despite what some may say, there is a Pokemon fan who firmly believes that even a billion lions would still have a fighting chance against all the Pokemon.

“As they discussed, one of them mentioned the iconic Z-Move and added, “It’s like a nuke, but against this thing.”Another quickly chimed in and shared a snippet of the move.”

Some fans concentrated on the actual execution of the move and expressed excitement at the idea of seeing Light That Burns the Sky in a contemporary game. One fan nostalgically commented, “I really miss that move… Necrozma definitely needs that form again. He’s much more powerful with it.”

Despite some players being convinced that Ultra Necrozma was the key to achieving victory over the lions in a Pokemon battle, there were still others who remained skeptical.

The most common response to this argument was “lion shield,”with some added creativity and variations. A supporter of the lions also pointed out, “Have you noticed how long it takes for that blast to happen and how small it is compared to a billion lions?”

One person also chimed in, suggesting that the lions could combine to create a massive lion tennis racket and deflect the attack from Necrozma.

Instead, a few individuals delved into the intricacies of video game logic. One person noted that Light That Burns the Sky is classified as a single-target move, which would result in numerous lions remaining. Another person chimed in, stating that a Trainer is necessary for a Z-Move to be executed.

Regardless of whether you are a fan of Team Lion or Team Pokemon, it is difficult to ignore the fact that Pokemon have continuously increased in strength with each new generation. It will be intriguing to witness the impact of Pokemon Legends Z-A on their power, particularly with the reintroduction of Mega Evolutions.
