Chapter 150: Consecutive Draco Meteors, Pure Numerical Charm!
Watching Gothitelle, which instantly lost its ability to battle and fell on the field, Caitlin cannot help but frown.
Miscalculated.
She completely didn't expect that Qingyu's Kingdra would have the Sniper ability, which is almost never seen.
No wonder he didn't use Dragon Dance to boost just now, but chose Focus Energy. I thought he just predicted that I would use Trick Room...
Now it seems, did he set up a trap from the moment he showed his lineup?
Caitlin shakes her head helplessly.
Clearly, he was a newcomer who didn't even know how to train Pokémon and couldn't learn even with Cynthia teaching him hand-in-hand, but now he has grown quite powerful.
However, he is still far from me!
"After Draco Meteor hits, the combat power of this Kingdra will be discounted."
"So... send out Reuniclus to use Calm Mind to boost, preparing to sweep the team directly."
As everyone knows, powerful moves are often accompanied by side effects that are difficult to bear.
And a powerful Dragon-type move as strong as Draco Meteor, of course, cannot escape this rule.
Due to the recoil of the move, every time it hits, Kingdra's output ability will be temporarily greatly discounted.
No matter what, it will give me a chance to boost while standing still!
However, the moment she watches her trainer image throw the ball on the field, Caitlin suddenly feels a sense of unease in her heart.
The psychic's instinctive ability to predict the future tells her that perhaps the plot direction will not go as she wishes.
"... It should be an illusion, how could I possibly lose to this guy."
Caitlin shakes her head, forcibly suppressing the unease that surged like a tide in her heart.
"Reuniclus, Calm Mind!"
Seeing Caitlin send out Reuniclus, intending to seize the opportunity of his switch to boost, Qingyu cannot help but smile slightly.
Still too young, Caitlin.
Reuniclus is indeed an extremely troublesome Pokémon in the Trick Room system.
Besides the disadvantage of being very slow, Reuniclus's durability and output ability are very excellent.
Not only can it learn many special attack moves to cover weaknesses, but it also has the excellent Magic Guard ability and the terrifying sustainability provided by Recover.
And being slow becomes an absolute advantage in the Trick Room system.
Therefore, once it seizes a flaw, there is absolutely a possibility of being swept.
However, for Qingyu, it poses no threat at all.
"Kingdra, Draco Meteor!"
Qingyu makes the same command without hesitation.
【? Consecutive Draco Meteors, right? The power is only half of the last time. Hitting Reuniclus, which has boosted with Calm Mind, probably just scratches it...】
【Are you really not switching, streamer? Reuniclus can learn Recover. If you don't take half its HP, it's like attacking for nothing!】
Just as the comments start discussing whether his operation is problematic, the Pokémon on both sides have already started to act.
Due to the influence of Trick Room, Reuniclus completes Calm Mind first, and then the huge meteor condensed by Kingdra arrives late.
According to what the audience thought, Kingdra, which has already hit Draco Meteor once, is simply at the end of its rope. With the growth of one and the decline of the other, it should be impossible to cause any effective damage to Reuniclus, which has boosted its special defense.
However, the fact is...
The oppressive Draco Meteor, not losing to the previous one, falls again, and the violent impact clears the opponent's HP in an instant again!
【Holy crap? This damage is wrong!】
【What the hell, is this the power that consecutive Draco Meteors should have?】
【It has consecutively killed two of the opponent's Pokémon. Is Kingdra this fierce?】
The people in the comments are stunned, and countless question marks start to fill the screen in the broadcast room.
"Basic operation, don't be surprised. Today Teacher Yu will give you another remedial lesson."
Qingyu chuckles.
Teacher Yu's battle classroom is now open~
"Besides the well-known effect of dealing higher damage, landing a critical hit actually has a relatively niche but absolutely powerful effect—"
"Moves after landing a critical hit can ignore the opponent's boost effects, and even its own ability reduction is the same."
"This is the essence of this 100% critical hit tactic!"
Due to the influence of the critical hit, the previous Draco Meteor not only directly pierced through Reuniclus's Calm Mind boost, but even ignored the weakening effect after using Draco Meteor completely.
Qingyu also checked information online before starting the stream.
This peculiar mechanism has long existed in reality and was first discovered by Professor Birch of Hoenn, but it is unknown because there are too few actual combat cases.
So it has been inherited in the game of the Pokémon world as well.
Precisely because its effect is so violent, Qingyu dared to decisively let Kingdra stay on the field and hit the second fatal Draco Meteor.
As long as the firepower is sufficient, even if you don't need any boost effects, you can kill everything!
After two main forces were killed in succession, Caitlin feels her blood pressure rising.
"How can there be such a boring tactic!"
Almost without paying any price, Qingyu reached a perfect 2:0 advantage start very smoothly, and even the duration of Trick Room is almost over.
Next, she can only send out Metagross, the strongest firepower point in her team, and rely on output to forcibly trade with this Kingdra.
Even so, Metagross was also hit by another Draco Meteor to a quite dangerous HP level.
In front of a 100% critical hit Draco Meteor, even a Steel-type that can resist Dragon-type is not necessarily safe.
After being harvested by Pelipper sent by Qingyu as expected, Caitlin's remaining lineup faces Qingyu's almost fully configured rain team, and can only gasp for breath.
As the last Sigilyph finally runs out of stamina, the eye-catching "Victory" word quickly appears in front of Qingyu's screen.
"Phew—, fortunately, I am more skilled."
After a long sigh of relief, Qingyu glances at the comments.
【What a violent tactic. If it's this kind of Kingdra, I can definitely learn it too!】
【Did Teacher Yu have any operation in this game? It's purely numerical crushing, okay? It is indeed a tactic that even grandma can learn...】
【It is this kind of tactic that is suitable for a newcomer like me. I vote for this project!】
"Theoretically, this tactic is not limited to a certain Pokémon, and there are not few Pokémon with the Sniper ability."
Qingyu adds two sentences simply.
"But to say the most suitable one, it has to be Kingdra."
Unlike Talonflame, which was taught a while ago, theoretically, any Pokémon with the Sniper ability can replicate the scene just now.
However, after all, this is a tactic that prioritizes numbers and pursues instant kills, so Kingdra, which can hit high-power Draco Meteor and is itself a numerical monster, naturally has the highest priority.
Kingdra's attribute distribution is very balanced, with no shortcomings in all aspects, and its strengths are not prominent. Theoretically, it shouldn't be outstanding in battle.
But if the balanced panel has high enough numbers, it's not called a balanced panel, but should be called a hexagonal warrior~
There are not so many twists and turns, it's just that the numbers are not enough!
Thanks to Qingshuizhizi for the tip.
Actually, Kingdra's balanced distribution is considered to have suffered a bit, far from reaching the level of a numerical monster, it's just that other factors combined to make up for this defect.
For a true balanced numerical monster, it has to be Arceus (funny).
