Chapter 34: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 16

Thinking about it carefully, this video was almost entirely Steel-type Pokémon, and the tactics were somewhat similar to his own lead strategy.

Qing Yu realized this only then.

Wasn't the whole video just a Steven trap? No wonder Steven was so active.

【I'm so lucky; I almost missed this high-quality video.

Judging by the author's proficiency with Skarmory and Metagross, they must also be a Gym Leader specializing in the Steel type; the thought process is somewhat similar to another Gym Leader, Falkner.

Although it is still a tactic biased towards game content, it does indeed bring out all the advantages of Steel-type Pokémon. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a comprehensive introductory textbook for the Steel type.

The advantages have been stated, so today I will be the class representative again and talk about my understanding of setting and removing entry hazards!

...】

In the long paragraph that followed, Steven detailed his understanding of choosing hazard setters and methods for hazard removal.

Qing Yu nodded repeatedly as he read.

As expected of a Champion, the understanding was still very on point.

Although limited by regional factors and not knowing much about Pokémon from other regions, he had basically answered correctly.

Generally speaking, Pokémon battling is two sides of a spiraling upward coin.

If hazard setters run rampant in the environment, naturally, corresponding hazard removers are needed to resolve potential threats.

It's just that those who used hazard-setting tactics before were mostly elite trainers at or above the Gym Leader level, and the usage rate wasn't high.

So, few people thought about how to remove the pesky hazards on the field.

However, with Qing Yu's open-sourcing, the development of hazard-setting teams in the future would likely flourish.

The homework he left this time wasn't really anything to talk about; it was purely an extension question to improve one's thinking.

Excluding moves like Maushold's "Population Bomb," Glimmora's "Mortal Spin," and switching moves, there were only two general solutions for hazard removal—Rapid Spin and Defog.

As long as you know which Pokémon can do these, you will naturally know how to remove hazards when you encounter them in the future.

If all else fails, aren't there Heavy-Duty Boots? They directly immunize against the effects of hazards.

For those few Pokémon that are particularly afraid of Stealth Rock, this is a god-tier item in battle.

Of course, there is also a more brutal solution.

The Magic Bounce ability.

Directly bouncing the opponent's hazards back to their side without wasting your own turn—it can be said to be the optimal solution.

After publishing the correct answer in text form in the comment section, Qing Yu was about to put down his phone.

But just then, he suddenly remembered something, so he swiped the screen on a whim, jumping the interface back to the Navigator.

Excluding Iono, whom he had just added, he only had three friends on his Navigator.

Two of them were his parents who had been missing for half a year...

As for the last friend slot, that was incredible.

Due to the complexity of his two lifetimes of memories, combined with the original body's half-year of escapism.

If it weren't for the brief glimpse triggered by Iono's friend request just now, he might not have remembered this.

Qing Yu's hometown was Celestic Town, and he had lived there until he was thirteen.

It wasn't until five years ago that he came to the Paldea region with his parents.

Before leaving Celestic Town, he had added his legendary childhood sweetheart on the Navigator.

It was none other than the current newly promoted Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia!

And the last conversation between the two had already stopped five months ago.

This book will probably be a single-heroine story because the last book made the author realize that he is not good at emotional scenes, so this time there won't be many emotional scenes. The plot progression in this regard will also be relatively slow; everything will be based on streaming and the Gym! ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
