You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 79: There must be a demon helping us from behind!

Aside from a few Pokémon with the potential to Gigantamax, the vast majority of other Pokémon will transform all their moves into Dynamax moves of the corresponding type after entering Gigantamax.

Among the eighteen powerful Dynamax moves with amazing additional effects, Max Airstream is definitely one of the most practical.

The reason is simple: the additional effect of Max Airstream is to increase the Speed ​​of the Pokémon on your field after use.

The strength of any move is closely related to the environment.

In the previous life, the main game mode was doubles. Even in the era when the priority was pushed to the extreme and you had to compete with Reggie and Elekk, whose speed stat was as high as 200, this move that unconditionally speeds up yourself and your teammates and is also quite powerful was still very explosive.

This established Max Airstream's dominant position in Sword and Shield.

Now, he finally has the chance to see just how amazing the power of Dynamax moves really is in reality.

The gigantic beak, which is over ten meters tall, only needs to flap its wings slightly to create air currents that stir up layers of dust on the ground.

"Cunning Tengu, roar loudly!"

Before the Dynamax move came, Yaro spun his straw hat and calmly gave his orders.

While Dynamax Pokémon can ignore status changes such as "Try Again" or "Cool Down," their abilities are still affected the same as before.

The cunning tengu stood still and let out a deafening roar, causing minor damage to the beak while also disrupting its internal energy.

As the gull flapped its wings repeatedly, a strong airflow was formed, rushing towards the cunning tengu.

"Max Airstream is incredibly powerful. Even if Swiftmend tries to interfere with it with a loud roar, it seems unlikely to survive another hit..."

Qingyu roughly estimated that, given the similar strength of the Pokémon on both sides, this cunning tengu would definitely be instantly killed!

As soon as he finished speaking, Max Air Strike struck his opponent head-on, blowing it dozens of meters away before it plummeted from the sky.

Looking at the cunning tengu's rolling eyes, Qingyu knew that his guess was right again.

After another of their main Pokémon was defeated in one hit, another of Yaro's Poké Balls went out on the big screen, bringing the score to 4:2.

If they can't withstand the pressure from Dynamaxed Pelipper, there will be no hope of turning the tide.

Therefore, Yalo quickly made adjustments.

He then revealed another high-level ball, and as he stood still, purple energy, identical to that emanating from Lulina's side, gradually appeared beneath his feet.

"Launch a magnificent counterattack, Apple Dragon!"

After the same process was completed, another giant Pokémon, the size of a small hill, appeared on the field.

A giant green snake, its body mostly obscured by a huge apple, appears, but its appearance is not at all intimidating; instead, it is somewhat comical.

Gigantamax Appledra makes its dazzling debut.

[Dynamax moves are so cool!]

Why don't we have this kind of strong regional phenomenon in the Unova region? This is unfair!

[The Dodo bird has something to say: Why is this thing a dragon?!]

Apple Wrapped Dragon is a combination of grass and dragon attributes, and it's not the only one; the whole Fruit-Eating Worm family bucket is full of noble dragons.

outrageous.

but……

"With Lurina switching her Dynamax main character, having a Dragon type might not necessarily be a good thing!"

Qingyu's eyes looked somewhat strange.

"There's no need to watch anymore, Lulina is about to wipe out the team at lightning speed."

Trainers at the Gym Leader level are considered exceptionally talented in this world; they really grasp things instantly.

His gaze was fixed on the black figure on the screen.

at the same time.

Gazing at the colossal figure soaring into the sky behind Alo, a confident smile unconsciously appeared on Lulina's face.

Sure enough, Mr. Yalo would choose to trust his trump card in this situation.

Therefore, this battle can be ended prematurely!

"Pufferfish—"

After taking a deep breath, Lulina's eyes became extremely serious.

"Max Ice!" [What?! Isn't Pelipper locked in its moves? How can it use a move other than Max Fly?]

[You're so particular about your glasses, but not really!]

[But the referee didn't say anything, so it should be fine, right? Does Teacher Yu know why?]

"I can vouch for this; it absolutely complies with the rules of the game."

After noticing the issue with the comments, Qingyu offered a brief explanation.

According to Dr. Mulan's research, the Dynamax principle utilizes a special energy unique to Galar that can distort space, creating a giant, visible phantom image of a Pokémon.

This is also the fundamental reason why most status changes are ineffective against Dynamax Pokémon, because they don't actually attack the main body...

It's clearly a substitution attack, so what does it have to do with my main body locking the move?
Of course, this effect has both advantages and disadvantages. While ignoring the need for glasses to lock down moves, the damage amplification effect it provides is also rendered ineffective.

However, for the current situation, the impact does not seem to be significant.

Because Appledra is also a member of the family that is four times weak to ice, it almost instinctively felt its life threatened when faced with the Dynamax Ice that was about to strike.

"The Great Barrier!"

Yalo had no choice but to make defensive decisions, but the next wave of attacks from the Pelipper was soon upon them.

Not daring to gamble that Appledra's energy was enough to use Dynamax Guard twice in a row, Yaro had no choice but to risk his life and unleash a G-Dynamax Acidic.

It's far from fatal for a bighead gull.

Next, the biting cold wind, carrying icy spikes, launched a fierce attack on the Apple Dragon!

boom--

With a single move, it instantly shattered Appledra's Dynamax form, leaving it exhausted.

After consuming the last bit of Dynamax energy, Pelipper's huge phantom quickly dissipated, and its real body returned to the field.

The stands at the Grass Road Arena were completely silent. After about five seconds, they reacted and erupted in cheers that were many times louder than when the game started!
Even though Yaro still has one Pokémon left to play, everyone knows that the winner has already been decided!

The subsequent situation unfolded exactly as expected.

After a token resistance, all of Yarrow's Pokémon were completely rendered unable to fight.

"The victor, Lurina, of the Water Boat Arena!"

Cheers resounded throughout the arena.

……

"Impressive! No wonder you're a top performer from our livestream!"

After watching the entire match, Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

My suggestion did have some effect; as expected, once I opened up a new way of thinking, Lulina's strength increased significantly.

For the sake of victory, Miss Lurina made the choice...

[There must be a charlatan behind this; such low-quality tactics are clearly taught by the streamer!]

Qingyu was already used to the false accusations in the comments.

The fact that these unconventional tactics have proven so effective in Lulina's hands suggests that, to some extent, the combat strategies are interconnected.

Any tactic that leads to victory is a good tactic!

"Now that the match is over, that's all for this afternoon's live stream~"

Before shutting down the live stream of the ranked matches in the Galar region, Qingyu suddenly glanced at the big screen in the arena, as if possessed.

Lulina's lineup is not much different from before.

The only variable was that she didn't bring her ace Poisonous Turtle for this match, but instead used another common Poisonous Turtle, the Swift Hand-Dragon, which is used in rainy days.

Although it wasn't the gem starfish he recommended, it might actually be a better fit for her team.

and many more……

Aside from rainy days, does the King of Thorns have some other interesting tactics?
Qingyu seemed to be deep in thought, and soon gradually determined the content of the dojo's assessment for the next week.

Last week's mushroom spores unsurprisingly garnered countless "positive reviews," clearly indicating that, like the comments, people don't really appreciate pure tactics.

So this time, let's go for something more intense and use some super-violent tactics!
Diary of a Fallen Hero, May 5.22
Kingdra, this old-timer, is still effective in the rain, but besides its nimble movements, another characteristic of itss is quite interesting.
