Pokémon development strategy

This way it is impossible to pass the Island Queen's assessment.

"That's really dangerous..."

Gladion didn't know Xiao Ming's situation. After hearing what Shen Qi said, it was really too risky.

Following Gladion to his VIP seat, Shen Qi could already see Xiao Ming in the ranger's combat uniform and Hapwu across from him.

On the big screen, Kentaro had 91% of his barrier points remaining, and he would be eliminated in a moment.

But Hapuwu's Heavy Mud Horse, with 99% barrier points, seemed to have been beaten once or twice.

"Gladion, what are the characteristics of that heavy mud draft horse?"

“Staying power.”

Xiao Ming's Kentaro has the "Intimidation" characteristic, which reduces the attack of the Heavy Mud Horse by one level.

The opponent's "endurance" characteristic is to increase physical defense by one level after being attacked once.

The durability of the heavy mud draft horse is very high. The distribution of durability racial values ​​of health value-physical defense-special defense is: 100-100-85

Coupled with the level advantage, Kentaro was already unable to fight, and the more he attacked, the more difficult it became.

A stream of mud spurted out from the Heavy Mud Horse and hit Kentaro, knocking off the last 1% of the barrier points.

"Mud shot?"

Shen Qi was a little surprised that Chongni Wanma actually used a ground-based special attack skill.

His physical attack racial value is 125, which is quite high, but his special attack racial value is only 55. Few players would let Mudsling learn the special attack category "Mud Shooting".

But... this is a real Pokémon battle, and there will be weird skill combinations.

Most of the Heavy Mud Horse's moves are contact moves and physical attack skills. Sometimes the opponent is left with little health, and it is easy to be at a disadvantage in close combat. In this case, you can learn a long-range attack to make up for it and take some blood.

"Mud Shooting" is a small skill with a power of 55. It is very easy to use. Considering the level of the Heavy Mud Horse, it can be used very quickly. It is not like a big skill that is delayed due to the complicated context and pre-operation.

In addition, "Mud Shot" also has the effect of reducing speed.

In this way, Xiao Ming's Kentaro was eliminated.

Although Xiao Ming was a little surprised by the sudden long-range attack from the Heavy Mud Horse, he still kept a good distance and did not give the opponent a chance to chase him while Kentaro was leaving the field.

when--

The energy bell rings and the 2v2 phase begins.

We can see that Xiao Ming put the half-taken Poké Ball back and exchanged it for the other two Poké Balls. He has a doubles combination strategy.

Hapuu didn't do much, just added a rogue crocodile to the field.

As the island queen who is good at ground-based combat, Hapuu has actually exposed her flaws. The weaknesses of the evil + ground-based Rogue Crocodile partially overlap with those of the Heavy Mud Horse.

The ground-type's weaknesses are water, grass, and ice. As long as the opponent has an advantageous attribute, you can fight back a lot.

Shen Qi thought of Xiao Ming having a megalodon.

At least it has evolved to its final form, and the level should be OK. It is a water-type creature, but the Megalodon's double defense is too poor, and its racial stats are both 40.

In front of Xiao Ming, two streams of light gradually solidified.

One is Seal Ball, and the other is Fire Type Kentaro.

"this…"

Xiao Ming's choice stunned Gladion.

The Seal Ball has ice + water attributes, so it has no problem competing against the ground type. The problem is that it's just a Seal Ball. Not to mention its final form, it hasn't even evolved into the first stage, and its race value is 290.

This choice also made Hapu stunned.

In a sense, Xiao Ming was quite successful as he could make the island queen confused.

The seal ball rolled on the spot, and white mist with shining ice crystals sprayed directly at the Fire Seed Kentaro.

Attacking your companions?!

"Anger Point!"

Shen Qi suddenly realized that when the Fire-type Kentaro appeared, the "Intimidation" characteristic was not triggered, so the characteristic was either the "Rumination" of eating one more fruit, or the "Anger Point".

Using the seal ball to attack his own Fire Type Kentaro is basically the rage cave tactic.

The characteristic of the anger point is that after being hit in the vital part, the physical attack will be directly increased by +6 to the maximum.

The seal ball itself has little combat power, but it can learn "Ice Breath" through the move learning machine. This is a 60-power ice skill that is bound to hit the vital points and will definitely trigger the "anger point".

The Fire-type Kentaro itself is resistant to ice, so being hit by an ice attack from its own young Pokémon is just like being tickled.

Moo!

The attribute energy fluctuations on the Fire Seed Kentaro became strong and turbulent.

Nice tactic...but.

Hapuu wasn't going to sit there and watch, either, and his heavy mud horse became an "iron wall" on the spot, increasing his physical defense by two levels. Combined with the data that improved his "endurance" when attacked, it was almost enough to offset the gains of the rage cave tactics.

Pah…Pah…

The seal ball moved its round body until it was only 5 meters away from the heavy mud horse, blowing a cold air flow.

Frozen Wind...

As a special attack skill, it needs to be pulled to such a close distance to be effectively released, which shows that the Seal Ball has not grown at all.

This seems to be Xiao Ming's only remaining tactic. The Fire-Type Kentaro's attack will be blocked now, so let the Seal Ball go up and blow the Ice Wind.

If Hapuu pays attention to the Seal Ball, Kentaro will attack; if he ignores it, the Seal Ball will keep blowing wind, and this skill also has a slowing effect!

Chapter 800 Beautiful Empty Shell

"Okay, let's stop making trouble."

Hapuu clapped his hands and gave orders to the rogue crocodile.

The non-contact skill "Quicksand Abyss (originally: Quicksand Hell)" can instantly destroy the seal ball's barrier points, and there will be continuous skill damage afterwards.

There is no need to get close to the seal ball.

"Centero!"

When Hapuu took action, Xiao Ming also issued an order. The long-awaited Kentaro burst into flames and rushed towards the rogue crocodile on the opposite side.

The fire element ultimate skill is "Flash Charge".

Power 120, hit rate 100, after hitting, the player will need to bear the counter-injury.

This skill can be regarded as one of the core skills of fire-type physical attackers in the game, and its significance in real-life confrontations is even greater.

As a physical attack and contact attack, "Flash Charge" comes with a displacement, and the distance is quite far. During the displacement, a hot air flow with sparks is blown up. If you are lucky, it can even cause some damage to other enemy Pokémon.

The interference tactics of the seal ball failed, and Xiao Ming had to fight hard even if he didn't want to.

Of course, Hapuu knew that the Fire Kentaro was aiming at the Rogue Crocodile, whose physical defense was slightly inferior and whose defense had no upgrade, so he pushed his body forward.

One hundred thousand horsepower!

A ground skill with a hit rate of 95 and a power of 95 is sometimes more useful than an "earthquake" with a power and hit rate of 100.

"Earthquake" is a group attack, and it does not distinguish between friend and foe, and the power judgment will be dispersed. "Hundred Thousand Horsepower" can be used to blast a single point.

100,000 Horsepower vs. Flash Charge

The level advantage plus the ground restraining the fire type, the result is predictable...

"Um?!"

As Shen Qi made some prediction in his mind, a strong stream of water suddenly gushed out beside Xiao Ming!

In almost a second, the Fire-breathing Kentaro first collided with the "Hundred Thousand Horsepower" of the Heavy Mud Horse, and his own health was low. The rogue crocodile next to him "stomped his feet" to make up for the ground damage, and Kentaro's barrier points were judged to be out of the game.

At this time, the rogue crocodile's "overconfidence" had just been triggered, and the surging water had already hit him.

Water splashed everywhere, and the rogue crocodile's barrier points dropped to 93+%.

There is a short and fat shark-shaped Pokémon on the field: Megalodon

"what happened?"

"That trial participant named Xiao Ming didn't break the rules, did he?"

The Seal Ball was trapped in the "Quicksand Abyss" and could not be retrieved during the duration of the skill. Xiao Ming did not go up to use training and skills to remove the Pokémon's restraint status.

Before the Fire-Type Kentaro collided with the Mud-Stolen, Xiao Ming had already summoned a new Pokémon.

This isn't even the 3v3 stage yet!

"No! The seal ball is gone!"

The rolling sand belt in the "Quicksand Abyss" has disappeared, and that place is empty. The seal ball has been taken back by Xiao Ming.

Beautiful empty shell...

Shen Qi judged that the item carried by the Seal Ball should be the Beautiful Shell, an item that ignores restraints and cannot escape. Even if it takes root or is stepped on, the Pokémon can still be retrieved.

Xiao Ming took advantage of the time difference and switched to the Megalodon, which had strong enough physical output but was fragile.

What is even more impressive is Xiao Ming's courage. He triggered the "anger point". Seeing that he could not gain any advantage, the Fire-type Kentaro, who had maxed out his physical attack, directly used "Flash Charge", which was equivalent to risking his life in exchange for the opponent's concentrated firepower and flaws, creating an opportunity for the Megalodon to attack from behind.

The Megalodon, with a physical attack racial value of 120, "Water Stream Break" with a power of 85, plus the effect of restraining ground-type, actually failed to penetrate the Rogue Crocodile with a physical defense racial value of 80.

The level gap is too big...

The Fire-type Kentaro left the field, and Xiao Ming replaced it with Owlwing, which also has attribute advantages against ground-type Pokémon, but the level gap between this unevolved bird is even greater.

In the end, Xiao Ming was naturally taken care of by Hapuu.

"Great!"

"so amazing!"

The audience stood up and cheered, praising the test takers generously.

In the 1v1 stage, Xiao Ming's performance was actually not very good. He just barely managed to survive by using the excellent performance and durability of the ordinary Kentaro.

In 2v2, the Fire-Type Kentaro + Seal Ball's Fury Cave tactics are already eye-catching.

Unfortunately, Seal Ball was too immature, and it took him two or three seconds to release "Ice Breath" to hit his companions. Otherwise, the attack of Fire Type Kentaro would have been even more violent.

When the heavy mud horse used "Iron Wall", all the audience including Shen Qi and Gladion thought that Xiao Ming had used up all his trump cards and tried his best. Unexpectedly, the props prepared in advance by his seal ball were beautiful empty shells, which allowed him to break free from the restraints. The effect of the megalodon was so unexpected.

There's a bit of luck involved here.

Xiao Ming's original on-the-spot response was for the Fire-Type Kentaro to "Flash Charge" and sacrifice himself, and take the opportunity to retrieve the Seal Ball, or if the Seal Ball was directly knocked out of the field, he would immediately switch to the Megalodon.

In this way, the megalodon's attack would not be so unexpected.

Who knew that the seal ball would create a "quicksand abyss"? Everyone assumed that the seal ball could not leave the field, which led to an even more unexpected tactical effect.

The final defeat was purely due to the difference in levels, which does not count as a point deduction. Otherwise, unless one is a genius that appears once in a century and reaches the green-blue level, there is no way one can defeat Hapuu.

"good."

When I got closer, Hapuu still had those big round eyes and two thick eyebrows that looked like black dates. It was impossible to tell what kind of evaluation she had of Xiao Ming.

Hapuu is a little farm girl who is not even as tall as Liliae. She stretched out her hand, and Xiao Ming quickly bent down and lowered his posture to shake hands with the queen of the island.

"Thank you for the advice, Master Hapuu."

"Yes." Hapu nodded. "Let me ask you, why did you think of giving the seal ball a beautiful empty shell in advance?"

It's really strange. Unless you know in advance that the opponent has a shadow-stepping tactic, or has skills such as "Song of Destruction" and "Curse" that require forcibly controlling the enemy Pokémon to stay on the field through binding, few people will wear the Beautiful Shell.

"Island Master, I am the ranger of Akala Island."

Xiao Ming introduced his identity with a proud expression.

There are many unforeseen difficulties in field operations. Sometimes, the Pokémon cannot be retrieved not only because they are stepped on or bound, but also because the attribute energy in a certain place is chaotic, so that the retrieval signal transmitted by the Poké Ball is interfered after a certain distance, or the process of transforming the Pokémon of the family into an energy body is affected.

In this case, it doesn't matter if the Pokémon has already been bred and is relatively powerful, just run back.

The seal ball is still small, and because he can swim, he will currently conduct some simple underwater investigation activities. In order to increase his safety, Xiao Ming chose a beautiful empty shell.

“Hehehe…” Xiao Ming scratched the back of his head, “Actually, these are experiences that other rangers told me. They are not tactics that I developed myself.”

"Ah."
