Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

However, the elegance and divinity collapsed the moment Xianbu spoke, and she ran happily to Xia Chen.

"Bu Yi? (Xia Chen, Xia Chen, what will I look like after my super evolution? Will I be ugly?)"

Xia Chen was speechless and amused. Wasn't it said that Mega Evolution would have a great impact on the temperament of Pokémon?

The celery is still the same... But, this is more like it!

"Not ugly at all, she's very pretty!"

Xia Chen's praise came from the heart, and the elves beside him also expressed their admiration and agreement.

Sylvanas smiled sweetly, then hopped over to Rotom's side, intending to take a look herself.

Rotom's vlog has been filming non-stop since this morning, so I just set it to selfie mode and saw my own stunningly beautiful face.

Judging from her delighted expression and the constantly adjusted angles of her selfies, Sylveon is very satisfied with her Mega Evolution appearance.

However, she herself didn't realize that she had been floating in the air for quite some time...

It wasn't until Sylveon saw Dronki, who was at the same height as her, that she was surprised to discover her first new ability after Mega Evolution—flight.

"Bu-i? (I can fly now?)"

These words, which would make a newly introduced legendary Pokémon want to vomit blood, were uttered by Sylveon as he curiously tried out his new ability.

She would float and fly like a ghostly sprite one moment, and then run and fly as if stepping on an invisible wall the next, which was incredibly fun.

After playing with Doronchi in the air for a while, a sly smile suddenly flashed across Xianbu's face. He transformed into a facehugger and quickly flew to Xia Chen's face for a close hug.

…………

After letting Fairy Bu fuss for a while, Xia Chen finally picked her up, patted her head, and smiled, "Alright, the time for Super Evolution is limited, let's quickly try out your other transformations!"

Sylveon finally calmed down from its initial excitement about its first Mega Evolution and obediently cooperated.

Xia Chen stroked his chin and said, "First, let's see if the characteristics have changed."

As a distinctive element among the characteristics of a spirit, its importance is self-evident.

It can be said that the strength of some Pokémon is largely due to their special abilities.

Mega Evolution is an important way for Pokémon to change their characteristics.

It could even be said that the vast majority of Pokémon will change their traits after Mega Evolution.

For example, Mega Swampert can switch from rapids to freestyle, Mega Gengar can use Shadow Tag, Mega Kangaskhan can use its parental love, and Mega Mawile can use its strength...

In the game, countless Pokémon have turned their fortunes around due to changes in their traits.

What will happen to Sylveon's special Mega Evolution, which didn't exist in its previous life?

To be fair, the Fairy Skin trait is not bad, but there are obviously many better ones. I just don't know if Sylveon will get a new trait.

Pulling himself back to reality, Xia Chen said, "Use high-speed stars."

"Buyi!"

In an instant, a string of shimmering white, star-shaped energy projectiles shot out, striking the ground and raising clouds of dust.

Xia Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

The features are definitely not those of a fairy skin.

Originally, Sylveon's high-speed star was supposed to be a light pink color representing the fairy type.

What would that be?

After a moment's hesitation, Xia Chen tentatively said, "Use the magic Flash."

Since it was an experimental feature rather than actual combat, Sylvanas didn't charge up for long and casually released a pink energy ball.

The ball of light expanded, the energy exploded, and countless fairy-type energy particles drifted in the air, appearing no different from ordinary magical flashes.

But Xia Chen keenly noticed something unusual: it wasn't the Magic Flash move that was unusual, but rather the unusual nature of Fairy Cloth.

The gems on her forehead and the halo around her waist changed from white gold to pink.

Its characteristic is [flexibility]?

Xia Chen had a vague idea and continued to try, "Use magical flames."

A strange, pinkish-purple flame shot out, but Xia Chen ignored it and instead observed the color of the gemstone.

Just as he had guessed, the gems turned from pink to crimson!

Is it really that versatile?

Xia Chen felt a surge of joy.

…………

Without a doubt, the ability to change shape at will is an extremely flexible characteristic that is even more powerful than the fairy skin.

After all, Fairy Skin can only convert normal attribute moves into Fairy attribute moves, but Transformation allows the Pokémon's own attribute to change with the move.

Not only do they enjoy a 1.5x boost to STAB moves, they are also excellent defensively.

Imagine Groudon unleashing a Precipice Sword attack, and Sylveon immediately counters with a Flying-type move—

Precipice Sword had no effect on Sylveon!

What? Where did Sylveon get a Flying-type move?

With Zoroark's help, is that a problem?

"Bu Yi! (Xia Chen, the ability seems to be more than it appears. I feel like there's some strange power assisting me when I use moves, making them even more powerful!)"

"I'm excited," Xianbu added.

Xia Chen was both surprised and delighted.

What does that mean? It even comes with Arceus's attribute tablet?

In the game, Arceus has the characteristic of multiple attributes—it can change its attribute based on the stone tablet it carries.

The stone slab also has an amplification effect—it increases the power of the Pokémon's moves of that type by 20%.

So, does this mean that Super Sylveon's characteristic has become an enhanced version of the [Multi-Attribute] characteristic?

As for why it's called an enhanced version, the fact that you can switch attributes without carrying a stone tablet makes it an enhanced version.

What does it mean to surpass one's teacher?

Xia Chen discovered that the deeper he dug, the more surprises Super Fairy Cloth brought him.

However, Xia Chen couldn't think of a way to test how much the power of this move would be amplified, since each attribute would benefit from the bonus, making it difficult to conduct comparative experiments.

Putting aside this [multi-attribute] characteristic for the moment, Xia Chen began testing the second important feature—race stats.

Of course, this is the term used in games; there's no such term in the real world, but it essentially exists.

In the game, all Mega Evolutions will increase a Pokémon's total base stats by 100, which will be distributed unequally among the six stats.

However, some spirits may experience a decrease in a certain dimension instead of an increase, which can be both good and bad.

For example, Mega Beedrill can reduce unwanted Special Attack stats to 15 points, making all physical attackers drool with envy, while Garchomp has an awkward change like reducing its Speed ​​stat by 10 points.

Sylveon's total base stats are 525, with its Special Attack stat of 110 and Special Defense stat of 130 being particularly noteworthy.

Xia Chen hoped that all the extra points could be added to the special attack stat—of course, that was absolutely wishful thinking.

However, no matter how you add it, a total value of 625 is already beyond that of a near-god. As long as the distribution isn't too outrageous, it's acceptable.

After a series of simple experiments, including unleashing and withstanding physical and special attacks, Xia Chen came to a thought-provoking conclusion—

The base stats of the super-powerful Sylveon seem to be the legendary "barrel waist"...

Well, the way to describe someone with high emotional intelligence is an all-around warrior.

…………

No, does this also have to be inherited from Arceus?

Xia Chen felt somewhat helpless.

What is the racial distribution of people with "barrel waists"?

It's just average.

Dividing 625 by six results in each term being 104.

It's not bad, but it's definitely not good.

The good news is that after more in-depth experimental research, Xia Chen discovered that the strength of each of Sylvanas's abilities is close to its pre-evolution Special Attack value.

In other words, Sylveon's base stats increase after Mega Evolution might not be 100, but rather a little more.

Sylveon's original Special Attack stat was 110, but with careful training, its actual performance might be even higher.

If that's the case, then it's acceptable.

With all six abilities having a value of over 110, isn't that just a youthful version of Arceus?

Xia Chen became increasingly suspicious of the relationship between Arceus and Xenbu.

After studying its traits and base stats, the analysis of Sylveon's Mega Evolution is pretty much complete.

After all, only three things change with Mega Evolution: attributes, traits, and base stats.

The final test was duration. In a battle that wasn't particularly intense, Sylveon's Mega Evolution lasted for a total of twenty minutes.

This included the initial playful interactions, the subsequent tests, and the final simple battle against Milotic.

The duration is fairly average, and it will likely be much shorter once the intensity of the battle increases.

However, in the end, the degeneration was not caused by insufficient super energy in Xianbu's body, but by Xia Chen's mental strength being unable to support it.

Xia Chen felt that the battle two hours ago had consumed too much mental energy, which was also a very important reason.

If it were at its peak, Sylveon's Mega Evolution could probably last at least half an hour in a high-intensity battle, and that time would only increase with continued mental training.

Having completed our research on Sylveon's Mega Evolution, our search for the Legendary Megalolith today has come to a successful conclusion.

Although there were some hardships and setbacks along the way, the legendary Mega Stone and Mega Stone were finally found, and Sylveon was able to Mega Evolve. There couldn't be a better result.

Xia Chen sent the location to Mikey and asked him to bring more people over, so he could cook and have a picnic on the island.

Perhaps it was because the battle in the evening had exhausted them, or perhaps it was because they were in a good mood, but Xia Chen and Xianbu ate much more tonight.
