Chapter 497

~6 min read 1,164 words

However, if a Pokémon were to touch a Cofagrigus here in the real world, it would be turned into a mummy on the spot!

Once turned into a mummy, it would immediately lose its ability to battle!

This is especially true for a Pokémon like Slaking, which relies on close-quarters combat to deal explosive damage and possesses only a single attribute!

For Slaking, this is truly a miserable situation.

However, Su Lin is not worried. Since Slaking is being countered by the opponent, why not just switch to another Pokémon?

From the very beginning of this battle until now, Su Lin has never once switched his Pokémon!

Since that's the case, what's wrong with Su Lin switching a Pokémon here?

Flexible switching is the very essence of the fun in Pokémon battles!

For example, my Pokémon counters yours, and then in the next round, you switch to one that counters mine.

And then, I switch to a Pokémon that counters yours!

This cycle repeats; the goal is to counter the opponent and ultimately defeat their Pokémon.

Right now, Su Lin is not going to be foolish enough to let Slaking continue fighting.

0 ·Seeking flowers·· ·

Otherwise, wouldn't that mean Su Lin has no brain?

Knowing full well that the opponent's Pokémon has such a bizarre ability, he would still let Slaking continue to fight?

How is that any different from pure, unadulterated suicide?

Therefore, it is impossible for Su Lin to let this Slaking continue to fight.

That said, since Li Tianlang's Cofagrigus has the ability to turn the opponent's Pokémon into a mummy.

One must not forget that this ability also has many drawbacks!

One of the most obvious is that when encountering a dual-attribute Pokémon, this Mummy ability becomes ineffective!

This means that as long as Su Lin sends out a dual-attribute Pokémon, it will be completely unaffected by the Mummy ability of the opponent's Cofagrigus!

In that case, wouldn't crushing Li Tianlang's Cofagrigus be as easy as pie?

However, if a Pokémon's strength is formidable enough, it can also break free from the Mummy ability of the Cofagrigus.

For example, single-attribute Pokémon like Arceus or Regigigas.

How could a Pokémon of that level be restrained by the Mummy ability of a Cofagrigus?

That is absolutely impossible!

502: Don't forget there are other Pokémon in hand

Therefore, once a Pokémon's strength reaches a certain level, it also becomes invincible.

Even if the opponent has something incredibly heaven-defying, there is still a way to break it!

Another example is the Magic Guard ability on Su Lin's Slaking!

If the opponent's Pokémon is too powerful and releases a skill with explosive power.

Then, if Slaking's level is too low, the Magic Guard ability will have no way to completely block it!

So, some things are not absolute; the real world is the real world!

However, these things are not a problem for Su Lin.

And the opponent's Pokémon is just a tiny Cofagrigus!

It is only because of the bizarre ability of that Cofagrigus that Su Lin has to switch Pokémon.

That is all!

Other than that, Su Lin hasn't felt even a shred of pressure!

However, looking at the confident expression on Li Tianlang's face, it seems he has forgotten something in his mind.

For instance, the most important thing: Su Lin doesn't only have single-attribute Pokémon in his hand!

Among them, Metagross is a dual-attribute Pokémon.

Steel-type and Psychic-type—isn't that a dual-attribute Pokémon?

If Su Lin uses this Metagross to fight the opponent's Cofagrigus, it will also be unaffected by the Mummy ability.

However, if Su Lin were to do that, wouldn't he be putting himself in a disadvantageous position?

You must know that although Metagross has dual attributes and cannot be affected by the opponent's Mummy ability.

But don't forget!

Among the attributes that counter Metagross, the Ghost attribute is included!

And that Cofagrigus of the opponent just happens to be a Ghost-type.

Releasing Ghost-type skills is naturally a piece of cake; it's bound to be simple!

If Metagross were sent to fight, one can imagine just how miserably Su Lin's Metagross would lose!

A two-fold attribute counter, while not particularly high.

But Ghost-type skills are basically very hard to dodge.

That already explains that if Su Lin sends Metagross to fight, Metagross will die a very miserable death!

Given the ruthlessness of Li Tianlang, if he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely slaughter Su Lin's Metagross on the spot!

That's right, slaughter!

Li Tianlang previously learned from the dark forces that Su Lin had a Metagross.

It can take Su Lin and instantly disappear from the spot!

Clearly, this was Metagross using Teleport to take Su Lin away from there!

If Su Lin encounters danger in the future, he will definitely have Metagross take him away!

If this repeats, how could the dark forces ever have a chance to kill Su Lin?!

Precisely because of this, Li Tianlang releasing the Cofagrigus this time is also to finish off that Metagross of Su Lin's!

Since the Mummy ability cannot affect Metagross, Ghost-type skills will deal double damage to Slaking!

Just this point alone is enough to take down Metagross!

In the end, directly slaughter Metagross!

In this way, Su Lin will no longer have this Metagross capable of Teleport.

If he encounters a dangerous situation in the future, Su Lin won't be able to just leave whenever he wants!

Since Su Lin cannot escape from here, wouldn't that mean he can be finished off?

Finishing off Su Lin is an important plan of the dark forces!

503: There's still Swampert!

Li Tianlang's plan, I have to say, is truly perfect!

Because what Li Tianlang is thinking in his mind is:

Next, Su Lin will switch Pokémon, and there is a high probability that he will switch to Metagross!

Because this Pokémon can be said to be the most powerful existence in Su Lin's hand!

As for Su Lin's other Pokémon?

Most of them are single-attribute, and if a single-attribute Pokémon dares to come and fight the Cofagrigus.

It will be turned into a mummy in minutes!

This is exactly the reason why Li Tianlang's face is showing a confident expression right now!

It is because he thought of this point, thinking that Su Lin will release Metagross next!

Because Metagross has both Steel and Psychic dual attributes, it has absolutely no need to fear the Mummy ability of the Cofagrigus.

But!

Although Metagross can be immune to the Cofagrigus's ability, don't forget!

Among the attributes that counter Metagross, there is also the Ghost attribute!

A two-fold counter, although not particularly high!

But since it can counter, for Li Tianlang's Cofagrigus, it undoubtedly holds the advantage!

Furthermore, Li Tianlang is also very confident!

His own Cofagrigus's strength will be greater than Su Lin's Metagross!

If that's the case, wouldn't it just explode and kill Su Lin's Metagross?

Li Tianlang is thinking beautifully in his heart, but just in terms of level.
