Chapter 145: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 67

Nemona is undoubtedly the latter; having traveled through multiple regions at such a young age, she is naturally adept at commanding and training.

However, the lack of time for theoretical study has left her with a poor grasp of some fundamental knowledge.

So...

It's time for a remedial lesson!

"Alright, then let me ask you a few simple questions."

Qingyu smiles helplessly, deciding to guide Nemona's train of thought step by step.

"You should know about the item Scope Lens, right? What is its effect?"

Although Nemona looks no different from an ordinary Paldean student, Qingyu knows better—

She is a genuine wealthy heiress, as evidenced by the super sea-view villa she lives in.

Nemona is actually the daughter of the boss of the Rotom Phone company, with a status no less than Steven, the eldest young master of the Devon Corporation.

Even the "Delibird Presents" chain stores in the Paldea region that sell phone cases and various battle items are likely her family's business...

A super rich girl (Paldean version).

So Qingyu feels that Nemona should be quite knowledgeable about items.

Facts prove that his guess was correct.

"Scope Lens... it's an item that helps Pokémon land critical hits, right?"

After a moment of thought, Nemona quickly gives the correct answer.

"Exactly. Then, besides the Scope Lens, are there any other ways to increase the probability of landing a critical hit?"

"Focus Energy?"

Following Qingyu's line of thought, Nemona answers almost instantly this time.

"Bingo! If we estimate based on the research data from Pokémon Professors, the boost to critical hit rates is roughly divided into three stages."

Qingyu nods.

"In other words, when a Pokémon is holding a Scope Lens and has used Focus Energy, its probability of landing a critical hit next will be—"

"1000%!"

"I see, that's amazing!"

Nemona nods subconsciously, but soon reveals a look of confusion again.

"But Mr. Qingyu... using Focus Energy in actual combat wastes a precious boosting opportunity. Even if it's a guaranteed critical hit, the damage dealt seems far inferior to Swords Dance or Nasty Plot, right?"

It must be said that once her train of thought is straightened out, Nemona's reaction is still very fast.

Landing a critical hit does indeed greatly increase the damage a Pokémon can deal, but in actual battles, very few people deliberately consider this.

The main reason is that the return is too low; even if one deliberately makes a Pokémon attack around critical hits, it is at best equivalent to half the boost of a Swords Dance.

To execute a guaranteed critical hit tactic, besides locking in the item, one must also waste quite a bit of time on Focus Energy to boost.

Overall, it is definitely not worth the effort.

"You are absolutely right."

Qingyu smiles with satisfaction.

Nemona's judgment is, of course, accurate, and there are actually not many Pokémon that can adapt to this set of tactics.

"In fact, this is a tactic built around the Sniper ability, and our Sun Gym's assessment content this week is also closely related to this tactic."

"As for how to use it specifically, let's wait until the live stream tonight to demonstrate it more intuitively using the game."

Only after becoming a trainer did he realize that having a simulation game that can replace infinite real-world battles is truly convenient, directly lowering the threshold for testing tactics to almost zero.

It's no wonder this game has swept the entire Pokémon world.

The time quickly reaches 6:30.

When Qingyu appears in the live broadcast room again, the title has changed to "No traitors, let's have some violent tactics!"

【Ohhhhhhh! Seeing Teacher Yu start the stream, I know it's finally time for me to eat!】

【Violent tactics? Why do I find it so hard to believe when this comes out of the streamer's mouth...】

【This is called reputation! Teacher Yu's persona is already deeply rooted in people's hearts!】

With Qingyu starting the stream, the popularity of the broadcast room quickly skyrockets like a rocket, rapidly occupying the front row of the PokéTV live broadcast section.

"Hello everyone, today we are going to play some violent and powerful tactics!"

Qingyu's voice appears quickly.

"As everyone knows, landing a critical hit is a very luck-based part of Pokémon battles. So, is there any way to make our Pokémon land critical hits stably?"

"There is, brothers, there is."

"So, today I will show you a tutorial on 100% critical hits. Even my grandma could do it!"

【Does your grandma know she can battle?】

【I'm on the scene, I am the grandma.】

【This time it really doesn't seem like a 'quality' tactic... Teacher Yu, blink if you've been kidnapped!】

Amidst the barrage of comments, Qingyu quickly opens the game and enters the team editor.

Then, he immediately locks in today's protagonist.

Kingdra!

"Kingdra is an incredible Pokémon. Its noble Dragon and Water typing synergy is excellent, with only two weaknesses: Dragon and Fairy."

"The Swift Swim ability makes it fast as lightning in the rain, and its own balanced stats have no obvious flaws, making it a natural regular in rain teams."

"So, besides Swift Swim, do Kingdra's other two abilities have development potential?"

【Kingdra's other two abilities... Damp and Sniper?】

【Oh no, these two seem to have no presence at all. So Kingdra had other abilities? (Guilty)】

【Besides preventing Self-Destruct, Damp has no other use, right? So are we playing Sniper today?】

"Exactly, today's protagonist is Sniper Kingdra!"

"With the output boost from the Sniper ability, the damage of a critical hit move from Kingdra will be terrifying!"

After Qingyu skillfully adjusts the configuration and adds other Pokémon to the team, he quickly starts matching.

After a few minutes of Ariados card "speedrun" teaching that made the audience finish three bowls of rice, the matching wheel finally stops turning.

The opponent's trainer image and ID appear on the screen.

An elegant long dress as light as a nightgown, golden long hair as smooth and silky as a waterfall reaching the ground, and a white hat that looks exaggeratedly large on her head.

A short, sleepy-eyed blonde loli image appears before his eyes.

ID: Caitlin!
