Basic Trope: A weapon or device which looks cool at first, but isn't very useful. * Played Straight: * Alice has a BFG which creates a flashy deadly laser. It takes a whole minute to charge up, and you need to change its very huge batteries every shot. * The best Combination Attack needs all five members to perform it. It's awkward getting the Infinity Plus One Mons needed to pull it off, and it has the Mighty Glacier going first, meaning the enemy gets a turn during the setup. * Exaggerated: * Alice's BFG creates a laser the size of the Moon. But to do that it take enough energy to black out a whole city. Furthermore, the thing can only be used once. * The ultimate Combination Attack is only effective against enemies with OHKO moves, meaning it's rarely ever used.
