Chapter 381: Is Teacher Xiang a bit merciful today?
"Oh? Actually surrendered?"
Seeing that the opponent had not responded for a long time, and the victory icon quickly popped up on the screen, Xiang Qingyu raised his eyebrows.
【Another Elite Four member fell victim to Teacher Xiang; how come Teacher Xiang is so professional even in doubles...】
【Fainted by the streamer's dirty tactics; using Skill Swap to speed up the opponent is too quality!】
【But this tactic is actually very royal road; it's all about Slaking killing the opponent's Pokémon one by one, and it didn't torture the opponent at all...】
【It's a bit like the Cinccino and Onix tactics last time; Teacher Xiang really likes to use these cute Pokémon as auxiliary hands.】
【After watching today's live broadcast, do you still think Raichu is cute?】
【Sooner or later, every Pokémon will be turned into a shady form by Teacher Xiang!】
Regarding the Huge Power Slaking tactic used by Xiang Qingyu today, the barrage gave a "high evaluation."
But to be honest, Lucian's strength is actually quite good.
Xiang Qingyu could see that he had many small ideas.
At least before the battle started, he could quickly make a judgment just by looking at his lineup, and focused on his lineup core, Slaking, throughout the process.
After being Taunted at the beginning, he decisively gave up continuing to speed up, and instead used Bronzong to open Trick Room to grab the initiative, which was also commendable.
During this period of time, he had seen many Elite Four members and Gym Leaders, and he couldn't feel at all that this was a newcomer who had been in the Elite Four position for less than half a year, and his style was already quite mature.
As expected of the most reliable roll king among the Sinnoh Elite Four, he is much steadier than Flint, whom he had encountered before.
However...
"Still need to practice!"
Xiang Qingyu smiled slightly.
"Lucian's tactic focuses on speed control, and because it is a 6-select-4 double battle, there are respectively Sigilyph Tailwind speed-up and Bronzong Trick Room grab-initiative modes."
"However, in fact, both sets of tactics still have room for optimization in the choice of Pokémon."
The prototype of the Trick Room team is already there, but it is too unprofessional in speed control.
It's fine if Gallade's output is explosive enough, but can Medicham and others also enter the Trick Room team?
It's very difficult!
"If you students want to learn more tactics, you can be unlike the Elite Four and Gym Leaders, who generally prefer to specialize in one attribute."
"Back to the topic, if this lineup focuses on outside the Psychic-type, the strength of this lineup will rise by several levels."
"We can think more, for example, can the Tailwind user choose Talonflame, which stably takes the lead, or Whimsicott and Jumpluff are also very good choices."
(Whimsicott and Jumpluff)
【Teacher Xiang still likes cute Pokémon so much; can Whimsicott and Jumpluff really be used? I feel like they fall at a touch...】
【Talonflame is actually alright; Master Qingyu has already used it quite a few times before. Its damage output and speed both crush Sigilyph, so it is indeed worth a try.】
【Wait? How did Teacher Xiang comment on the Elite Four, and it feels quite reasonable...】
【Tears, the streamer is really trying to teach us how to optimize the Elite Four's lineup and tactics!】
【I don't dare to speak. jpg】
"You can't say that; in fact, as long as you students can open your minds, sometimes whimsical ideas are not necessarily worse than the tactics used by other Trainers."
Seeing that the barrage was mostly complaining and it seemed that no one was really discussing how to improve the lineup, Xiang Qingyu quickly encouraged them to think more.
Since he now has the identity of an online teacher, how to let students "get enlightened" is also his work content.
"Pokémon battles are actually very interesting; no matter what messy tactics you think of, you can try them. Even if the strength is not good, won't you feel very happy if you can win one game for entertainment?"
"So bold attempts are the first step to success; if you students are interested, you can try to optimize this lineup this week."
"As for saying Whimsicott is not good... the next live broadcast will show everyone the strength of Whimsicott in doubles~"
Xiang Qingyu said lightly, while complaining in his heart.
If Whimsicott is not good, then there are really not many auxiliary hands that can be used in doubles.
Don't you understand why it is called "Black-hearted Cotton"!
【Is this considered a live broadcast preview for next time? Teacher Xiang, don't disappear for half a month again!】
【Tears, I feel like Teacher Xiang is really becoming more and more like a teacher, and he actually pours chicken soup for us...】
【To be honest, is Teacher Xiang a bit merciful today? Where is the personality that loves to use dirty routines to make opponents uncomfortable?】
【Teacher Xiang, forever god!】
Amidst the laughter of the barrage, Xiang Qingyu started his journey of gaining points again.
"I see, it's indeed as Teacher Xiang said."
I don't know when he closed "Pokémon: Champion" and opened Xiang Qingyu's live broadcast room, Lucian reached out to support his chin, seemingly deep in thought.
Xiang Qingyu's words entered his ears through the external speakers, making him nod repeatedly.
Sigilyph's speed is still a bit slow, which is actually very fatal in the Tailwind speed-up lineup.
Just like Xiang Qingyu's solution just now, if the opponent has a Pokémon that can use Taunt and its speed is faster than his side, the move is very likely to be forcibly interrupted.
And Talonflame, which has a natural advantage in speed, is indeed a good choice, but it seems a bit inconsistent with his Psychic Elite Four positioning...
While Lucian was thinking, Flint behind him suddenly clapped his hands and stood up excitedly.
"That's right, originally the League didn't force every Gym Leader and Elite Four member to use one attribute; it's just that everyone thinks it's easier to cultivate Pokémon of the same attribute!"
"If the strength is sufficient, of course, it is better to master more attributes to improve the team's joint defense ability, just like Aaron's Drapion!"
Xiang Qingyu's words quickly made Flint "get enlightened."
"Besides Fire-type Pokémon, Sunny Day teams can also pull in those with Chlorophyll ability or even those completely unrelated to Sunny Day; after all, Sunny Day can also help avoid the weakness of Water-type!"
If you don't stick to the same attribute, the choices that can be stuffed into the team instantly increase several times.
At that time, what kind of self-destructing Drifblim, Mirror Coat Lopunny, can be pulled out suddenly, and the opponent may not necessarily be able to react.
Flint felt more and more feasible the more he thought about it.
(The Flint in the Diamond and Pearl remake really did it)
Seeing this, Aaron on the side couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
"I brought Drapion because it was the initial Pokémon I cultivated since I was a child, okay? And it really had Bug-type before it evolved!"
"But the words are rough and the logic is not rough; it seems that you can indeed change a few main forces from time to time, so that the opponent can't guess your lineup today."
Aaron nodded, acknowledging Flint's idea.
"..."
Seeing the two of them so decisively give up specializing in the attributes they were good at, Lucian couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. ===== CHAPTER 383 =====
