Chapter 469: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 220

Compared to this obviously more unacceptable result, a small setback in a game was nothing to Kona; instead, it reminded her to be more careful about Lance using this move in the future.

She didn't know if Lance had seen this battle, but the same move wouldn't work on her twice!

As an Ice-type Elite Four member, since she already knew where her weaknesses lay, she would immediately find ways to make up for them.

The battle just now did indeed expose some weaknesses in her team.

Any trainer with a bit of insight could see that her entire team was slower than that Charizard.

Because in wild battles, her style is to use large-scale moves like Blizzard to directly suppress the opponent, thereby gaining the initiative.

But if someone really opens up Sunny Day, her type disadvantage will also be magnified.

That's why she used Slowking's Cold Joke to open up Snow weather as a counter-preparation to this tactic.

Looking at the result, the effect seemed very average...

Perhaps, she needs to expand her currently limited thinking?

Just as Kona lowered her head in thought, hoping to find a suitable answer, a sudden phone call made her have to be distracted.

Kona subconsciously frowned, but after picking up the phone and looking at the caller, her expression softened a lot.

As she answered the phone, Misty's sweet voice immediately entered her ears.

"Hello, Sister Kona~"

Even through the voice, one could feel the energetic expression of the girl on the other side.

"It's Misty, is there anything you need?"

Kona's originally serious expression soon softened, and her voice became gentler.

She liked this very young little fan with unlimited potential, because from Misty, she seemed to see some of her own shadow.

Many years ago, which didn't seem that long ago, she was also a newcomer trainer holding a girl's heart, looking forward to meeting her true love on the trainer's journey...

However, this dream still hasn't been realized to this day.

In a few years, perhaps she will no longer be active on the front line of trainers, and will move behind the scenes, handing over the position of Elite Four to other young people.

For example, Misty, who is deeply influenced by her and has a soft spot for the Water type, might be a good candidate.

On the other end of the phone, Misty's excited voice soon came again.

"Sister Kona, I watched your battle with Teacher Yu just now. Teacher Yu is currently reviewing this battle. If Sister Kona is interested, you can come to the stream to listen."

"Teacher Yu still has a lot of understanding, and as a trainer from another region, he can also mention some Pokémon we wouldn't think of as superior choices. Sometimes a change in one Pokémon can affect the strength of the entire team!"

After listening to Misty's earnest explanation, Kona couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, I will go take a look."

"Please push his stream to my Pokégear."

"Okay~, it's great to be able to help Sister Kona!"

Misty hung up the phone quickly, and then the phone vibrated again.

Regarding the "Teacher Yu" she often mentioned, although Kona had indirectly learned a little bit, and knew that even Professor Oak and Lance had forwarded his videos more than once.

She had also watched the video content, and the quality was indeed worthy of such high fame.

But because they were in different regions, there shouldn't be any contact in the future, so Kona hadn't taken it too much to heart before.

However, after having a battle with him in person, Kona really became a bit curious about him.

So Kona opened the link Misty sent.

Because a few minutes had passed since the battle between the two, as soon as she clicked in, she heard the young man's passionate voice, seemingly discussing with the comments.

"The advantages of the Pokémon Mamoswine are obvious, but the disadvantages are even more obvious!"

"The Ice/Ground coverage is indeed invincible, but what is the price? It's the weak defensive end that is countered by many popular types!"

"Water, Fire, Grass, Steel, Fighting—I laugh just reading these five types. Newcomers know what the starter types are, right?"

"Even if Thick Fat can barely offset the Fire-type weakness, it's still very disadvantageous—of course, among the limited combinations of the Ice type, having these few weaknesses is already not bad."

Qingyu's voice soon entered Kona's ears, making her subconsciously frown.

It wasn't that he said anything wrong; after all, this content is basic knowledge that can be easily found in the Pokédex.

In Kona's view, the Ice type itself is abandoning defense in exchange for violent offensive ability, which can be considered a common characteristic of this part of Pokémon.

But listening to Qingyu's meaning, it seems he has a way to avoid this pain point?

Kona decided to continue listening, and soon Qingyu's voice lingered in her ears again:

"Then, is there any way to neutralize this problem?"

"There is, brothers, there is."

【I'm shaking with anger, when can we girls stand up?】

【Can Teacher Yu even change the type? It seems no ability can save Mamoswine...】

【Hiss—, wait, you say it like that, I seem to know what Teacher Yu means.】

【Could it be that thing... which Paldeans are no strangers to?】

【Which one is that? Fork out all the riddle-makers!】

After glancing at the comments, Qingyu soon revealed a satisfied smile.

"That's right, some students have already guessed it; what I want to talk about is—"

"The Paldea region specialty, the Terastallization phenomenon that can temporarily change a Pokémon's own type!"

Mamoswine's weaknesses are indeed many, but it's not completely unsalvageable.

In addition to Terastallizing into the same type to further enhance move power, using Terastallization to avoid weaknesses is also a common means for elite trainers in Paldea, including but not limited to:

Iono's Tera-Electric Levitate Mismagius, Brassius's Tera-Grass Sudowoodo, and other messy things.

Because every Pokémon can use Terastallization, and it only needs Tera Shards to temporarily change into any type, its versatility is very high, allowing any Pokémon to have the possibility of having a highlight moment.

It's just that the mass production of Tera Orbs has only been perfected in the last two years, and even Gym Leaders like them have only started to use them one after another, so people outside the Paldea region rarely know about this peculiar phenomenon.

However, since the atmosphere today had reached this point, Qingyu casually talked about Terastallization.

"In addition to being able to Terastallize into the Ground type to further enhance its suppression power, the Tera-Grass type also has a qualitative leap for Mamoswine's defensive synergy ability."

"Students in Paldea, if you have the opportunity to receive a Tera Orb in the future, you can try the idea of using Terastallization to expand your defensive synergy ability~"

Qingyu soon announced the answer.

The Grass type has many weaknesses, but the Thick Fat ability can help Mamoswine avoid the two most fatal ones.

As for other weaknesses, they don't pose any threat to its own type, and in actual combat, you can suddenly pull out a Terastallization, causing the opponent's brain to overload.

"Terastallization is a very interesting phenomenon, and it has many functions in battle. Trainers in other regions can also learn about it if they are interested."

"Maybe one day Terastallization will also be in the game?"

After speaking, Qingyu smiled.

After all, Mega Evolution is almost logged into the game, and other regional phenomena such as Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Terastallization shouldn't be too far away.

【Although he is introducing Terastallization in a serious manner, why do I always feel that Teacher Yu has a feeling of "accepting a recharge"?】

【Teacher Yu, tell us quickly how much "friend fee" President Geeta gave you to help the League promote Terastallization!】

【Wrong, Terastallization Ambassador Teacher Yu! As the region's most popular streamer, it's only right to seek some benefits for the fellow villagers!】

【Family members, Tera Orbs are unsalable, help us~】

The comments soon began to play around.

Paldeans of course know that Tera Orbs are simply not for sale. Except for the internal acquisition channels of the League, only some particularly excellent students in Naranja Academy are qualified to get them.

So there is no such thing as a commercial order.

But the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional~

"Terastallization...?"

Kona frowned slightly. Regarding this unique phenomenon in the Paldea region, she had only heard of it occasionally and didn't know much about it.

However, if it could improve her overall strength, she was indeed a bit interested.

So after thinking for a while, Kona quickly tapped the keyboard and output a line of text—

【Kanto Elite Four Kona: Teacher Yu, is it convenient to talk about it specifically?】 ===== CHAPTER 471 =====
