Pokémon development strategy

What Shen Qi needs to do is, when he sees an acting gym leader or deputy gym leader, he should use the [Detection Card] on their Pokémon to obtain the examiner's approximate strength information.

Ever since getting the [Exploration Card], Shen Qi has only used it on Pokémon that he hasn't conquered yet. This time, he's finally going to use it on his opponent.

Of course, if you see Nancy passing by, there is no need to waste the [Detection Card], because what you will find out is a string of exaggerated strength data that you cannot deal with anyway.

Starting from 9 o'clock in the morning, Shen Qi sat in the lobby of the Golden Gym until the afternoon.

Fortunately, I had the candidate certificate in hand, so it didn't seem so abrupt.

Finally, a somewhat hunched figure walked out from the internal personnel passage. The old lady's clothes, similar to those of an ancient witch, made her look a little weird.

Trainer type... fortune teller.

It can be understood as what a prayer master looks like when he gets older.

Normally, players will not see fortune-teller-type trainers in the Golden Gym, but usually prayer masters or psychics.

Only in the Gold/Silver/Crystal versions, after completing the story in the Johto region and taking the maglev train back to Kanto, you will see the witch in the Golden Gym.

The armband tied on the witch's arm had a double-ring disc pattern similar to a golden badge with a black spot in the center that looked like a cross scar, meaning she was the acting owner and had not yet reached the level of owner.

In addition to the accompanying gym coaches and staff, Vulture Na also followed the witch out.

Dark + Flying Pokémon.

There are no Psychic-type Pokémon, but Bug-type and Ghost-type Pokémon counter Psychic, Flying is used to counter Bug-type Pokémon, and Dark-type Pokémon counter Psychic.

It's not possible to bring a Pokémon with attribute advantages or a Pokémon with ghost-type skills to destroy the entire gym with one Pokémon/one move like in the game.

In contrast, if one only knows the psychic system, it will be difficult for these deputy gym leaders and acting gym leaders to get certified as T2, let alone reach the T3 high-end game.

As the witch passed by, Shen Qi clicked on the game interface and confirmed the use of the [Detection Card].

Aim the crosshairs of the game item at Vulturena, and confirm again when she passes by or approaches.

Read the detailed information about Vulture Na.

"This trainer."

A dry voice like an old wooden door opening floated out of the witch's mouth, scaring Shen Qi.

"Hello."

"Hehe, you are...very interested in me."

Her face was wrinkled like an old tangerine peel, and her small eyes were deep and dark, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

There were some signs of being discovered, but Shen Qi knew that outsiders could not see through the game props. At most, the other party's keen perception had detected something.

"Your Vulturena is very spirited."

"right."

The witch has a hunched back, making her height about 1.4 meters, while Vulture Na is over the standard 1.2 meters tall, and her eyes are equally deep and sharp.

The trainer and the Pokémon have very similar temperaments, but the witch is much weirder.

After stroking Vulture Na, the witch said nothing, but turned around and left tremblingly.

"That's a bit sharp."

After watching the fortune teller go away, I went to the front desk and asked the fortune teller who had just left.

Acting owner: Nishang

It’s a very nice name, but I didn’t expect that I’m so eerie... Maybe I was a great beauty when I was young.

Shen Qi did not dare to stay in the Golden Gym for long, and left immediately after hearing the news.

[Exploration Card] The read content will be retained as long as the interface is not closed.

It was not until he returned to the fighting arena that Shen Qi had the mind to take a closer look at Vulture Na's situation.

Vulture Na, level 68.

"68?!"

Nichang is the acting gym leader of the Golden Gym and a true T2 trainer, so it is not surprising to see a Pokémon of level or appear there.

What surprised Shen Qi was that Vulture Na was definitely not a main force.

Vulturena's physical attack and special attack racial stats are relatively low, 65 and 55, and she cannot deal decent damage.

Its excellence lies in the three dimensions of durability (life, physical defense, and special defense). The racial values ​​are 110, 105, and 95 respectively, so its durability can be said to be quite excellent.

The evil + flying attribute has four weaknesses, three resistances, and additional immunity to ghost and ground attacks, which is also very good.

Such durability and relatively weak attack capability make it suitable for auxiliary hand positioning.

The support Pokémon are all trained to level 68, which is what is surprising.

Chapter 671: Tricky Assistance

vulturena

Features: Dustproof

“Wow, non-stick pan”

The reason why Shen Qi made such an evaluation is that Vulture Na is largely immune to the effects of psychic and flying skills, and with the "dust protection", powder-type skills will be ineffective against her.

Hypnotic powder, paralysis powder, poison powder, and anger powder have no effect on him.

Sandstorms and hail cannot cause any harm to Vulture Na.

There are so many acting masters and deputy masters in the Golden Gym, and Shen Qi may not face Nishang as the examiner.

For now, let's take this acting gym leader as the imaginary enemy. If you want to get rid of Vulturena, you can only fight hard. His racial value and durability in three dimensions are 110-105-95, which is very strong.

Not to mention Condorna's moveset, just with this foundation, staying close to the main Pokémon and trainer to help block damage can play a big role.

Check out Vulturena's skills.

"Tailwind", proficiency 100%.

When Tailwind is activated, all our members will benefit from a significant increase in speed. Many Flying-type Pokémon that are not the main output will be responsible for opening Tailwind.

"Stare", proficiency 96%

Reduces the physical defense of all opponents. This is a skill that few people use in game battles. It is the kind of skill that even wild birds and dogs at home can use, and the three main characters can use it, but it has been forgotten long ago.

In real combat, "staring" is indeed difficult to deal with.

Go fight Vulture Na, his cows are obvious and not easy to kill;

If we don't deal with Vulture Na, the physical defense will be lowered and something serious will happen.

"Clear the Fog", proficiency 89%, eliminates the opponent's reflection wall and light wall effects, and reduces the opponent's dodge rate.

"Provocation", proficiency 99%, puts the target in a state where they can only attack output for a period of time, and the use of non-output skills is negatively affected.

This is a skill that suppresses the opponent's auxiliary player.

Apart from anything else, the above four skills of Vulture Na are already very troublesome in a real combat environment.

But Vulture Na is also responsible for countering the insect and ghost systems, so Neon developed his output skills.

"Brave Bird Attack", proficiency 90%, power 120, hit rate 100, a flying-type ultimate skill, the player will take the damage.

If you really encounter a bug that needs to be dealt with, even if Vulturena has a physical attack racial stat of 65 and "Brave Bird Attack" brings the power bonus of the main system, it will be enough to smash it down.

"Knock Down" is a dark physical attack skill with a proficiency of 86%, a power of 65, and a hit rate of 100. If the opponent is carrying an item, theoretically the power of "Knock Down" will increase by 50%.

It is a semi-output, semi-functional skill.

"Fraud" has a proficiency of 91%, a power of 95, a hit rate of 100, and is an output skill that calculates the basic physical attack value based on the opponent's physical attack value.

As long as the opponent's physical attack exceeds that of Vulture, it is cost-effective to use "Fraud".

The above 7 skills constitute the core moveset of Vulturena.

There are some people whose proficiency level is over 50%.

For example, the proficiency of "Flying" is 51%, which is probably used for traveling. This proficiency is really a bit of a waste of skills when used in T2 games, and it is easy to make mistakes when using it.

There is also "Pecking" with a proficiency of 63%, a flying skill with a power of 60, which will eat the berries carried by the opponent.

The scope of application is relatively narrow. In most cases, "shooting down" is enough. You have to know that the opponent has brought tree fruits and they are useful to Vulture Na at the moment before you can "peck" them.

Seeing such Pokémon, Shen Qi felt overwhelmed and wanted to postpone the registration time.

There is really no time to postpone it. The earliest the test is December 12th. If you need to prepare more, it will be late December if you push it back two weeks. God knows whether the fruit of miracle will start to shine earlier.

However, unlike subjects one and two, Shen Qi had been preparing for the combat assessment a long time ago.

It can be said that all practice is to improve the passing rate of the combat assessment.

Vulture Nana is indeed powerful, but her weaknesses are electric and fairies. Duoduo and Madam Huajie can deal with them.

Especially for Duoduo, there is no need to use too much crystal electricity. Simply open [Soul Merge] to further increase the ability value. Even if you use "Hundred Thousand Volts", you can deal with Vulture Na in two or three shots when you are at a level disadvantage.

The problem is that Condor is so strong, how should Neon's other Pokémon deal with it?

The level gap is there first.

Nichang is a veteran T2 professional trainer. Her auxiliary Pokémon is level 68, and her main force must be level 70 or above.

Porygon sister is level 50 and brother is level 48. They have a special mutual bonus relationship, and with [Soul Compatibility], their actual combat power is far higher than their apparent level.

Further down is the Happy Egg of hard work, level 48.

Madam Hua Jie’s level increase was accelerated to level 44 because of her practice of life energy control.

Miss Skirt is level 43, Long-eared Rabbit is level 35, and Clay Giant is level 33.

In terms of Pokémon strength alone, the gap is already huge.

Not to mention the "extremely poisonous" skill that Duoduo has just learned. Even if his proficiency in "extremely poisonous" is 100%, if the opponent attacks hard, it will be difficult for us to hold out until the poison can really take effect.

But this is the result of Shen Qi reaching the super evolution world line and using almost most of his available energy and time to practice.

Even if the assessment date is postponed by half a month, the Pokémon level will not change drastically.

Then, all we can do is play the cards in our hands well.

To be honest, it’s a bit difficult.

I rushed back from Deep Gray City today and sat in the Golden Gym for half a day without practicing normally.

Shen Qi called all the Pokémon out for a meeting.

Discuss strategies for the gold badge assessment.

In fact, I can't give any suggestions for most Pokémon. The main thing is to deploy according to Shen Qi's fighting style. First, you have an idea of ​​the enemy, and then you can practice tactics tomorrow.

咕咚

The Clay Giant, who knows nothing and is only level 32, sits upright and is the most majestic Pokémon on the scene. In fact, he can't play a big role when he appears on the field.

Emotional script "Homeward Journey", with a completion rate of 95%.

The attack rate of Long-winged Gull suddenly increased a lot because he was eager to fight. However, since he had not evolved yet and was weak, when Shen Qi brought him to a strong competition, others were too lazy to ban Long-winged Gull.

Under such circumstances, Shen Qi was actually willing to let the long-winged gull participate in the discussion as a member before an important battle.

"Let's brainstorm together."

Shen Qi didn't know the specific situation of the Long-winged Gull, and there was no need to spend an extra [Exploration Card] now. Before evolving, the Long-winged Gull's racial stats were 270, and its attack, defense, and special defense were all 30 points. It could be eliminated by just a few touches from Vulture Na.

But Long-winged Gull had learned a lot of knowledge after all, and had played a few friendly matches with the Gemini Academy, so he had a good understanding of the concept of ring combat.

"Duoduo, the other party may have mastered the 'shoot down' skill, but we still have to bring the evolution stone."

Except for special circumstances, such as when you want to achieve extreme output, there is nothing more suitable for Porygon than the Evolution Stone.

Both defenses increase by 50%.

His base plus the additional ability value gain actually makes him a "numerical monster" in essence, which means a character with exaggerated numerals.

The higher the basic ability value, the greater the benefit of the Evolution Stone. There is nothing wrong with carrying more Evolution Stones.

Happiny should have worn a silk scarf to increase the power of her Normal moves, or a power headband to increase her physical attacks.

The Life Orb has a high power bonus and no restricted attributes. The disadvantage is that it loses health with each attack. When fighting against Pokémon that are much higher in level, the blood exchange will be disadvantageous.

"Happilyn, this is a tough battle, and we're mainly relying on you and Duoduo as the main force."
