Pokémon development strategy

It doesn't look like it's broken, but rather like it hasn't grown fully.

It has been almost a year since Shen Qi traveled through the Pokémon world, and he knows clearly that Pokémon of the same type may look different.

Some rhodonites have spikes on their shells;

The green wind speed dog has a particularly long tail;

There are even tall nut-shaped, cylindrical Jigglypuff eggs…

Things like this are not all printed from the same template.

Therefore, it is normal to have spiny clams of different shapes.

The problem is... the shape of this spiny shell is strange and seems to be not well developed.

"Sister Kona, is this thorny shell injured, or has it been like this since childhood?"

"Congenital developmental deformity." Kona patted the shell of the spiny shell that was difficult to open and close. "The giant tongue shell had problems when it was young. I hoped that it would be improved after evolution, but unfortunately it still can't be done."

Such a spiny clam with congenital deformity and weak physique is useless in battle. It can be used for racing, but its foundation is still too weak. It is better to just try other water systems.

Gently caressing the deformed scorpion, Kona asked, "If you pursue a battle and encounter a Pokémon like this, what would you choose?"

Shen Qi understood what Kona meant.

In pursuit of extreme strength, the mentality is prone to change constantly, and Pokémon are regarded as pure "weapons", "protection gear" and other tools, gradually becoming paranoid and extreme.

In the end, the degree of fit decreased and the true strength could not be exerted.

A typical example is "Shinji", one of the protagonist's rivals in Sinnoh (animation), who is the type who pursues extreme strength in Pokémon and hates weakness.

Later, after some setbacks, he gradually learned how to support his companions, how to praise Pokémon, and how to establish a deep soul bond.

Kona was worried that Shen Qi was putting the cart before the horse. It was not the case that a trainer with a good foundation in Pokémon would be able to go far. If one had lost his original intention, he would be "disqualified as a trainer" and his performance would plummet.

Chapter 469 Let’s Try It

"I understand the logic. It's just that... there are no useless Pokémon, but there are trainers who don't know how to raise them."

Shen Qi responded roughly like this. After all, during the battle in Evergreen City, the Pidgeot that Cyan and Green used to activate the situation was not considered a strong Pokémon in the battle, and was not even the strongest Pokémon in the family bird echelon;

The same goes for Silver. After his main trainer Magma was banned, he used Haunter to gain a small advantage. Rhyno instead served as a support for Haunter, which went against the tactics recognized by most trainers.

"Sister Kona, I know very well that not all Pokémon are suitable for battle. My Miss Skirt will definitely be the main driver. In the future, if there are Pokémon that don't like to battle, I will also raise them well."

"Don't ignore another difficulty." Kona reminded, "Suppose that only 50% of your Pokémon can be used for battle. Then, if you want to put together a 10-piece battle lineup, you actually have to raise 20 Pokémon."

This is something Shen Qi had not thought about carefully.

As a battle teaching instructor, such as the teacher at Pokemon High School, he would never talk to students about the problem of insufficient number of Pokémon.

Everyone naturally thinks that it doesn’t matter if there are fewer Pokémon. We can learn the basics first and then catch them slowly later.

In fact, from your attitude towards Pokémon to how many Pokémon you can raise, you need to have a concept of these things in advance.

If you don't look far enough, it will be difficult to go far.

"I... understand that racing is my core financial support, and I will always reflect on my attitude towards Pokémon."

"That's good." Kona took back the scorpion. "With my position, I don't expect you to have any good results, but if you go down the path of paranoia and become a trainer with a bad reputation, don't say I taught you."

"learn!"

"Is there a training ground suitable for fighting on this 6th island?"

"No."

Shen Qi responded straightforwardly, "The training ground of Elf High School is actually a field with a white paint frame. It is usually used for playing badminton. When practicing, the net is removed..."

"That's great." Kona stepped outside, "Practice in the wild first. Let me see the effect of your strongest attack at this stage."

"Ok!"

There are no other houses nearby where Shen Qi lives.

The building density in the market area of ​​the 6th island is higher, and the houses in other places are quite far apart.

From Shen Qi's house, it takes ten minutes to reach Xiaochun's house and fifteen minutes to reach the young reporter's house. These are the two closest households.

The sparse housing stock means wild land is easy to find.

snap, snap

Seeing the expensive leather boots stepping into the mud and sand, Kona didn't mind. He first asked Warrior Eagle to patrol the surroundings to make sure there were no outsiders, and then persuaded some wild Pokémon to leave to avoid being affected by the battle.

"Okay, come on."

In the lush grass of early spring, Kona had his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, with only a white sea lion beside him.

It's more than just releasing water, it's releasing the sea.

"Sister Kona, be careful, my Pokémon's output is extremely strong."

"I know, yours is Professor Akihabara's Porygon."

auspicious…

Jigglypuff was quite dissatisfied. Everyone only knew that Duoduo was powerful, but they didn’t know that I, Jigglypuff, was also a great general!

After comforting Jigglypuff, Shen Qi realized that there was no need to say more, otherwise it would seem like he was looking down on Kona.

The White Sea Lion has high double defense and health points, and the so-called "durability" is good. However, its double attack and speed racial values ​​are only 70, which is rather weak.

But these are data in the game, just a rough reference. In reality, who knows how strong the white sea lion on the opposite side is.

What can be confirmed is that the White Sea Lion has four weaknesses: Fighting, Rock, Grass, and Electricity.

Among them, Shen Qi does not have rock and electric output.

Chansey's "Tile Break" is a Fighting-type skill, while she herself is a Normal-type skill.

Only Miss Qun'er has a grass type and a special move of her type.

After all this time, it turns out that Miss Skirt, who is usually weak and specializes in racing, has a grass-type ultimate move "Petal Dance" with a power of 120 and a hit rate of 100. The side effect is that it is forced to be used repeatedly for 2 to 3 rounds, and the player will fall into a state of confusion after the attack. In addition, Miss Skirt's special attack is quite high.

However, the first Pokémon is still Duoduo, which is the most balanced.

"Shen Qi." Kona reminded, "Now there is no energy clock and bell ringing settings, you can follow the last 3v3 stage of the energy clock and use three Pokémon at the same time."

Excluding Madam Huajie, whose skill pool Shen Qi was not familiar with, and the Long-eared Rabbit, which was only level 22, Shen Qi actually only had three Pokémon.

"Then I'm welcome!"

"Hehe." Kona still had his hands in his pockets and just smiled faintly.

Summon Miss Skirt, turn on Sunny Day to activate the "Chlorophyll" feature, greatly increase the speed, and then "Butterfly Dance" will be performed on the spot.

When more people beat fewer people, be greedy first.

At the same time, Jigglypuff rushed towards Kona.

This situation is quite interesting, and Kona watched Shen Qi's deployment with great interest.

Knowing that a strong attack is hopeless, let the tank-type Pokémon rush up first to interfere, creating an opportunity for Miss Skirt to increase her ability value.

The White Sea Lion first uses "Mysterious Guardian (Mysterious Veil)" to prevent abnormal status, and then uses "Water Ring" to continuously restore health.

Tsk…

Shen Qi secretly felt depressed. Duoduo, who was still hiding, wanted to use the "electromagnetic wave" to paralyze the opponent first. Once the opponent's "mysterious guard" was activated, he lost his temper.

And, what a fast move...

As Jigglypuff rushed forward, the White Sea Lion used two rather complicated skills in succession.

At this time, Miss Qun'er had just performed the "butterfly dance" for the first time.

The "speed" of a Pokémon in battle is not simply about how fast it runs, but is related to a series of abilities such as reaction speed and efficiency in depicting skill contexts. If the gap is too big, it may even result in the loss of the "right to strike".

Taking the game as a reference, Miss Skirt's speed racial value is 90, and the White Sea Lion's speed is 70. At the same level, Miss Skirt is definitely faster, and then take into account "Sunny Day".

But the White Sea Lion's skill casting speed was not slow, and Kona did not take action either. It was purely the difference in level and hard practice.

Jigglypuff rushed into the coverage area of ​​the attack skill and raised his hand to "chop the tiles"!

The white sea lion shook its head and small pieces of ice sprayed out instantly.

"Ice Gravel" with a power of 40, like "Water Gun" and "Flame", is a basic small attack of the corresponding attribute.

bang——

The ice broke apart, and a small amount of residual skill fluctuations of "Splitting Tile" touched the white sea lion, which only made her plump skin bounce, which was equivalent to the force of poking the white sea lion with a finger.

"Oh formidable."

There was obvious surprise in Kona's tone. He didn't expect that Jigglypuff, whose physical attack talent was at the bottom of the list, could compete with the White Sea Lion's small attack and even win by a slight margin.

A cold blue light condensed in the mouth of the white sea lion, and the ice skill "Aurora Beam" arrived in the blink of an eye. With the speed of Jigglypuff, it was impossible to dodge at a close distance.

If you want to retrieve the Pokémon at this time, you will still be hit during the process of energy transformation and energy return, especially after the energy transformation, the Pokémon is in a more vulnerable state.

"return!"

The game skill [Combined Attack] is triggered, Shen Qi uses the packaged "Self-Motivation" and triggers the second effect, instantly calling the Jigglypuff back to his side.

Chapter 470 I'm too crystal clear!

If the unusual physical attack strength of Chansey had slightly surprised Kona, Shen Qi's skill of recalling Pokémon at will really surprised her.

It is actually very common in high-end battles for a Pokémon to have attack capabilities far superior to those of its peers.

To reach that stage, either the trainer is extremely strong, or the Pokémon is outstanding, or both. It is not uncommon for occasional individuals to appear whose output level stands out among their peers.

But... using style skills to instantly call Pokémon to your side is a very difficult technique and can produce infinite combat variables. Its strategic significance far exceeds the attack increase of a single move.

Before Kona could make a comment, a strong grass-type energy surged in the distance, condensing into falling petals, gradually becoming disordered and chaotic.

Petal Dance... an extremely powerful grass-type special attack skill.

Kona knew very well that Miss Skirt's special attack talent was already very strong, and it became even more difficult after being enhanced twice, so she had to deal with it well.

Frost gradually condensed in front of the white sea lion.

This is not any Pokémon skill, it is simply the use of attribute energy to create a shield with ice energy.

Guji!

At this moment, Duoduo jumped out from the other side and had switched into a level 43 sister with a skill pool of powerful output. A shake of her head was the signature "triple attack".

A general skill with a power of 80 that randomly causes burn, paralysis, and freezing effects.

The White Sea Lion's "Mysterious Guardian" skill is still there, and there is no way to add any abnormal status to it, it is just pure output.

The “Triple Attack” is aimed at... Kona!

Directly attack the opponent's trainer!

The ice shattered, and the ice wall that Kona had casually drawn slightly blocked the "triple attack", buying her time to evacuate.

Duoduo's strength was within Kona's expectations, so there was nothing much to say. What really surprised her was that the "petal dance" was not generated.

Shen Qi only let Miss Qun'er do an opening move. She usually drives a racing car, and her proficiency in the skill "Petal Dance" is only 10%. It is also a relatively complicated grass-type skill. If she forces the skill to be carried out to the end, there is a high probability of failure.

So we make an opening move to let the white sea lion be on guard, and then do the "Butterfly Dance" once more, and then we'll be greedy again.

In this way, Miss Qun'er's special attack and special defense are already very high. In terms of speed, she not only has the improvement of "Butterfly Dance", but also has the "chlorophyll" characteristics of Sunny Day.

The special attack turret has taken shape. Even though Miss Qun'er is only level 33, she should not be underestimated.

auspicious!

Jigglypuff jumped out again and attacked the opponent together with Duoduo. It was obvious that this was to cover Miss Qun'er's real output.

"White sea lion!"

Kona gave the order, and the white sea lion broke away from the trainer and ran forward for a distance, then fired the "Aurora Beam" at Miss Skirt.

Miss Qun'er's skill is "Ultimate Absorption", a 75-power grass-type skill that has the effect of converting damage into health points.

Both sides were using special attacks from a distance, but Chansey's attack had already reached Kona.

The ice wall was broken again by Duoduo's "Triple Attack", and Jigglypuff's "Million Ton Kick"... missed.

"Jeep! Use the tile splitter!"
