Chapter 467: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 219

【??? Solar Beam Charizard, is your Charizard eating grass!】

【Are you playing or not? If you don't trick me, I'll eat a Gardevoir-sized thunderbolt on stream. Who could have imagined that Charizard wouldn't breathe fire, but switched to breathing grass instead!】

【To be honest, if Lance knew this move of Teacher Yu's, I guess Charizard wouldn't have to be a substitute...】

The unexpected Solar Beam not only left the audience stunned, but even Kona, as the opponent, was clearly frozen for a moment.

And the reason...

Kanto Elite Four member Lance, who was sitting on the sofa at home watching Qingyu's stream, couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"So that's how it is; it's indeed a very interesting idea."

As a former Charizard user and also the biggest victim of Kona's Mamoswine, Lance could naturally see through the thoughts of both sides easily.

Kona's Mamoswine must have the Thick Fat ability, which allows it to gain resistance to the Ice type while also offsetting the weakness of its own Fire type.

It's just that Qingyu completely predicted her setup, which is why he didn't use the conventional approach and let Charizard unleash a Solar Beam, catching even the experienced Kona off guard...

If Qingyu had sent out a Venusaur with the Ye Lusu ability, or that Scovillain which also has the Grass type, Kona would definitely have realized the opponent's intention immediately and switched out in time to avoid the risk.

In the game of wits before the move, Qingyu clearly won by a small margin.

However...

"Actually, even without Solar Beam, Charizard's Overheat could stably take down this Mamoswine, right?"

After Lance lowered his head and thought for a moment, he had a definite answer in his heart.

Absolutely!

Because of the Thick Fat ability, her Mamoswine isn't that afraid of Fire, which is why she still chose to be greedy for a Stone Edge after Charizard entered the field, attempting to tank the damage and then counter-kill the opponent.

This is also her usual trick against him; his Charizard doesn't have a Sun Team to rely on, so its firepower isn't as exaggerated as what Qingyu displayed.

As a result, Kona suffered a loss instead.

"So that's it; utilizing the Fire-type move power boost provided by Sunny Day, the speed acceleration from the Ye Lusu ability, and the terrifying combination of Solar Beam requiring no charging, the entire team possesses extremely abundant firepower. This is a very strong and orthodox tactic."

Thinking of this, Lance couldn't help but nod repeatedly, while sighing in his heart—

"Although everyone's impression of Teacher Yu is mostly about his 'quality' tactics, it seems he is very proficient in various styles of tactics, and he is even very good at strong assault strategies."

"Now he is even handy with weather..."

"Are the newcomers of this generation all monsters?"

The line of sight returned to the stream screen.

"Charizard knowing Solar Beam does seem to be not that widely known, but..."

Qingyu soon revealed an evil smile.

"It doesn't matter; after today, I guess everyone will know, and in the future, everyone will have to guard against a Sunny Day Solar Beam when they see a Charizard."

Many things might go unnoticed if not spoken out, but once the first person discovers and shares this tactic, it will soon become a conventional playstyle.

But it doesn't matter, because Qingyu already enjoyed himself with this move just now.

He even managed to trick the Kanto Elite Four; you tell me if you want to learn it or not!

Taking down Kona's first Pokémon easily without any cost, and with the score reaching 1:0, the situation became a bit subtle for Kona.

The Ice type is super-effective against the Grass type, but it cannot resist Grass-type energy.

With the whole team afraid that Charizard might suddenly pull out another Solar Beam, defensive synergy has become very difficult.

The all-low-speed Ice-type team simply cannot pass Charizard, this speed quality inspector.

Not to mention that his team is full of tough guys, and there is even a Gastrodon specifically for defensive synergy, so Water-type moves don't dare to be pulled out easily.

If she had known earlier that Qingyu would play like this, perhaps it would have been better for Kona to use Trick Room to restrict his initiative.

However...

Because of Torkoal's existence, even in Trick Room, her pressure would still be very high.

Soon, Kona's second Pokémon entered the field.

It is said to have some connection with Santa Claus, and is suspected to be the dream lover of many trainers—

Jynx!

It is not only the fastest existence in the team, but also the only one not weak to the Grass type.

It's just a pity that it is still a bit slower compared to Charizard.

And...

It is also afraid of being burned by fire!

If its speed couldn't beat Charizard, Kona wouldn't even have a chance to fight back in the sun, and it was taken down directly by Charizard's Heat Wave immediately after entering the field.

Because Qingyu had Torkoal carry a Heat Rock, the duration of the Sunny Day was even longer than the opponent imagined, so trying to drag out the time was meaningless.

In the end, Qingyu easily suppressed several of the opponent's Pokémon with just the firepower of one Charizard.

Seeing that the situation was completely one-sided, Kona did not hesitate too much and decisively chose to surrender and run away, planning to kill her way back in the next round.

A brilliant victory icon soon appeared before the screen.

【My goodness, even Kanto Elite Four Kona was beaten into surrendering; Teacher Yu's Sun Team is too terrifying!】

【Although there is a reason for type advantage, this firepower is indeed satisfying to watch. I feel like I can really learn Teacher Yu's tactic this time!】

【The Charizard in the Sunny Day system is terrifying...】

【Teacher Yu's tactics are as reliable as ever, but whether we can learn them is another matter!】

"Among the systems built around the four major weather types, the Sun Team is already the simplest tactical system, basically describable as mindless aggression."

After a quick victory in the game, Qingyu also smiled and commented.

"As long as you have a certain understanding of the Pokémon in your team, I believe every student can master the Sun Team."

"Of course, I believe many viewers can see that this battle is not so much an absolute crushing of Ice-type Pokémon by the Sun system, but rather the key to victory is another less conspicuous factor, which is—"

Since it had come to this, Qingyu took the opportunity to give his "cute" students another lesson.

"The Pokémon's speed of action!"

In the games of his previous life, the speed line of 100 could largely determine a Pokémon's chance to enter the field in the early versions.

Just as demonstrated just now, Charizard, which stably takes the initiative, doesn't even need to consider defense; it is a wall of sighs itself.

And conversely, if you can easily penetrate the opponent's defensive line with types and moves, but your speed can't compete with the opponent...

The pressure will clearly be much less, and you might even be counter-killed by the moves the opponent pulls out.

The most intuitive example of the impact of speed on victory or defeat is a certain Garchomp that is just a little bit faster than Charizard's 100 base speed.

With the same setup, it, being faster than Charizard, can take the initiative to pull out Rock Slide, Stone Edge, or even Stealth Rock, forcing the opponent's Charizard to avoid its edge.

And if it Mega Evolves...

Wouldn't the threat be reduced significantly?

If it weren't for the fact that Charizard itself can't learn any Ice-type moves for coverage, maybe after Mega Evolution, it could counter-kill you!

In earlier generations, some attackers would even fish for IVs to change the type of Hidden Power, in order to indirectly expand their coverage.

All for the sake of further enhancing their suppression power. ===== CHAPTER 469 =====
