Paradox Pokemon of the future, also known as Future Paradox Pokemon or simply Future Pokemon, run on advanced technology far beyond our current understanding. In particular, Future Pokemon have a unique method of energy generation and storage, the Quark Drive, as well as Miraidon's unique Hadron Engine.
The QD and HE run very similar to the Large Hadron Collider in Galar. It rapidly accelerates particles, causing them to collide. Once they collide, smaller particles are ejected, and energy is emitted.
The technology involved in the QD and HE run on a significantly smaller scale than the LHC. The LHC is approximately as large as Wyndon stadium, whereas the QD and HE have a radius of only a few centimeters. This allows for even Iron Bundles to carry QDs, despite being the smallest of the Future Pokemon.
The technology is remarkably similar, but significantly more advanced than our current technology. For one, the collisions inside the QD and HE are remarkably well controlled. Both run on proton-proton collisions. Particularly, both show a high probability of producing top quarks, the most energetic particle in the standard model. In modern LHC technology, a top quark is produced extremely rarely. In the QD, about 30% of collisions results in a top quark. In the HE, its nearly 90%. The mechanisms that give these high probabilities is unknown.
Furthermore, there are the interactions with Electric Terrain. The QD and HE both run using magnetic solenoids to direct the particles into collisions. In a modern LHC, a small electric field can completely ruin it. In the QD, the solenoids rapidly adjust to changing magnetic fields. In Electric Terrain, the QD not only adjusts the solenoids, but also redirects the energy from the terrain to the Pokemon, causing a significant boost to its stats. Because of the high top quark production probability in the HE, the HE produces Electric Terrain from the excess energy it is generating. The terrain it creates serves to also power it. By reusing this excess energy as terrain as opposed to wasting it, the HE creates stronger special attack stats in Miraidon.
Another note is that the chamber where the collision takes place is surrounded by a unique metal alloy. This alloy absorbs a significant amount of the energy produced, and allows the Pokemon to redistribute it across its body.
On the topic of energy redistribution, Future Pokemon have noticable sections of their body that appear to glow. These sections are used as storage for any excess energy produced. If the Pokemon is asleep, faints, or is otherwise unconscious, this energy storage depletes, and the sections no longer have their characteristic glow. Notably, the excess energy stores are located at sections of the Pokemon's body that are typically used for attacking. This allows them to use incredibly powerful attacks, and use the energy it stores for these attacks. Examples include Iron Bundle's sack, Iron Thorn's spikes, and Iron Valiant's blade. Miraidon's usage of energy is unique. While its storage mechanisms are mostly the same, it is able to convert this energy in to several forms, such as thermal or electrical energy. Typically, Future Pokemon rely on one type of energy. For example, Iron Bundle's control of thermal energy allows it to shoot beams of ice, and Iron Hands' control of electrical energy allows it to deliver electrical punches.
Another unique aspect of Miraidon is its many forms. A marvel of mechanical engineering, Miraidon can seemlessly transform into many forms. These are Low-Power, Drive, Aquatic, Glide, and Ultimate mode. While the transition between Drive, Aquatic, and Glide modes are primarily mechanical, Low-Power and Ultimate are rather unique. Miraidon's Low-Power mode is similar to when it is unconscious, lacking the prominent glow of its energy stores on the neck, tail, and arms. In this mode, Miraidon's HE is running at a slower speed, causing it to accumulate very little excess energy. However, it is still generating enough energy to stay awake and alert. Miraidon's Ultimate Mode acts as an opposite to Low-Power. In this mode, the HE runs at a very high rate, causing it to generate large amounts of excess energy. Notably, the sides of its head disperse visibly large amounts of energy.
Finally, it is worth noting the bizarre technology of the Booster Energy. The BE acts as an external power source. However, its power source acts for both Past and Future Paradox Pokemon. Past Pokemon rely on biological mechanisms that generate power from solar energy. The contrasting mechanisms of Past and Future Pokemon make their energy sources significantly different. Nonetheless, the BE works equally as well for both types of Pokemon. The BE appears to produce electrical energy for Future Pokemon and solar radiation for Past Pokemon. It is unknown how it is able to produce both types of energy and distinguish the Pokemon using it to produce the energy appropriate to the Pokemon, especially since the original creators of BE perished before they properly recorded how it works.
