 This article is about a/an Zord/Megazord in Power Rangers Dino Charge and Power Rangers Dino Super Charge.
|
The Plesio Zord (dubbed Plesio by Kendall) is the personal Zord of the Dino Charge Purple Ranger. It possesses the spirit of the Plesiosaurus that was given the Purple Energem 65 million years ago, just before Sledge's ship-mounted tractor beam was disabled when his ship was bombed and the meteors released therein caused the dinosaur extinction.
It is one of two Zords (and one Megazord) that were not destroyed by the black hole in Dino Extinction.

History
The Plesio Zord was discovered separated from its original bonded human, Albert Smith. The Dino Charge Rangers encountered the Zord while following a lead from Dr. Runga, a paleontologist, about supposed sightings of a living Plesiosaurus. Shelby and the Rangers skirted the shorelines hoping it would be attracted to the newly liberated Purple Energem, which it was, only to be attacked by a resurrected Meteor. Kendall later discovered that the Plesio Zord is sick and if it doesn't come in contact with the purple Energem soon, it could perish. Later, under the "advice" of Fury, Dr. Runga came across a video Shelby took of the Zord and tried to use it to promote his research. However, a confrontation with Shelby reminds him of why he entered into paleontology in the first place, and he instead aids the Rangers in reuniting the Plesio Zord with its Energem.

Later on Kendall manages to pilot it as its rightfully chosen Ranger, with Shelby at her side to escape Sledge's Ship as the new Dino Charge Purple Ranger. TV STORY-One More Energem
Formations
Plesio Charge Megazord
The Plesio Charge Megazord is the Plesio Zord's Megazord form. As its default form would suggest, the Plesio Charge Megazord is a hulking giant, and as such can deliver devastating physical punishment. Despite its bulk, this Megazord can use the boosters built into its body to move at impressive speeds.
Its left arm can be used in a rocket punch-like attack called the Plesio Rocket Punch.
The Plesio Charge Megazord's finishing attack is the Galactic Blast (or the Plesio Blast), where the Megazord pumps the grip on the throat of its Plesio Cannon 3 times while the Rangers count backwards from 3 and then launches an intense laser blast at the target.
Appearances: DC Episodes 18, 20, DSC Episodes 1, 3-4, 7, 12, 19
Plesio Charge Megazord Pachy-Rex Formation
The Plesio Charge Megazord Pachy-Rex Formation is the combination of the T-Rex Zord, Pachy Zord, and the Plesio Zord.
Though the Pachy Zord serves as the left arm of the Megazord whenever it is formed, the combination of the Plesio Zord and the T-Rex Zord could in theory be made with the Pachy Zord swapped for any of the other Zords that can form the arms (Stego Zord, Tricera Zord, Para Zord, Raptor Zord, Ankylo Zord, etc).
It possibly could even be made with no left arm at all, though of course its combat capabilities would then be limited.
It can attack with T-Rex Blast, where it shoots a beam from the T-Rex Zord's mouth. As such, it acts as a paralyzing agent, allowing it to buy time for the Rangers to fire the finishing attack.
Said finishing attack is the Galactic Blast, where it shoots a powerful beam in the shape of Plesio Zord's head and neck from the Plesio Cannon after the grip pumps itself back three times, hitting the target with unrelenting force. The attack is powerful enough to lift Greenzilla himself high into the air.
