After both sides made their turns to adjust, the faster Metagross tried to use its arm hammer again, but it was easily blocked by Mega Kangaskhan, which was transformed from Smeargle.
With this back and forth, it's as if nothing happened to either side.
Currently, Qingyu's Pokémon on the field are Kangaskhan (Smeargle) and Scizor, while his opponent has Togekiss and Metagross.
The battle had only just begun, yet the little trainer facing Qingyu in front of the computer screen felt drenched in sweat, and even felt immense pressure with every breath.
Judging from the scene alone, the appearance of Scizor made Togekiss quite embarrassed.
Once it tries to use "Look at me" to draw aggro, the opponent's bullet-sized punches will inevitably be unleashed instantly, instantly killing Togekiss.
However, for the other half, the situation was infinitely favorable. Mega Metagross was significantly faster than its opponent, and Mega Kangaskhan, which was transformed from Smeargle, was not in good health after taking a Meteor Shower. Therefore, even though it had been intimidated once, a Hammer Hammer was enough to easily finish it off.
If we trade Togekiss for Kangaskhan, we might actually make a small profit.
But the problem is—he doesn't dare gamble on whether Teacher Yu will continue to rotate.
If Incineroar is in the back row and Scizor is recalled, leaving your team unable to deal with Mega Kangaskhan, the situation will be completely ruined.
However, if the Kangaskhan is constantly on guard in the backfield, it will be even more unable to deal with the situation.
A bead of cold sweat rolled down the young trainer's face. The time pressure forced him to abandon his thinking and, before Qingyu could speak, he gave the order: "Togekiss, watch me!"
"Metamorphoses, use your hammer on Smeargle!"
While using Heat Wave might reliably finish off Smeargle, Togekiss's speed can't keep up with Mega Kangaskhan, and Mega Kangaskhan will inevitably land another Crunch in the middle. Metagross will be badly injured even if it doesn't die, and with Scizor added, it's very likely to be traded.
If a sacrifice is unavoidable, then for the sake of victory, his only choice is Togekis.
His subconscious thoughts made him feel somewhat ashamed.
Why did I become a trainer in the first place to catch cute Pokémon and travel with them?
And his guess was indeed correct.
Immediately following, Qingyu gave his command: "Kangaroo, attack!"
"Scizor, Tailwind!"
Togekiss made the first move, successfully drawing the opponent's attention with the "Watch Me" move.
Before Metagross's hammer attack could hit, Smeargle seemed to sense something and suddenly disappeared before it could strike, appearing behind Togekiss in the blink of an eye to launch an unexpected surprise attack.
Although the damage was only average due to the elemental resistance, it still had some effect, leaving Togekiss's health in a precarious state.
Mega Metagross arrived shortly after, and its four steel arms attacked simultaneously, instantly reducing Smeargle to its original form and depleting its health bar.
At this point, both sides had lost one Pokémon, and the situation seemed to have become more balanced again.
But in reality—after regaining the initiative due to the power of the wind, Qingyu's side may have an even greater advantage than before.
Even without the Mega Kangaskhan disguised as a Smeargle, he still has the real one in his back row!
Having just witnessed the devastating power of Mega Kangaskhan, and with Tailwind further guaranteeing the first move—
The young trainer's expression gradually became numb, with only fine beads of sweat rolling down his forehead from time to time, hitting the tip of his nose with a cold touch.
If I had taken a gamble and chosen to let Tokiss use Heat Wave, would the situation have been completely reversed?
For Scizor, a single hit from a Fire-type move that's four times its weakness will take away several bars of its health. If only I had the courage of Teacher Yu to take that gamble...
At this moment, all he felt was regret.
"Being able to make the safest choice in such a short time—that shows decent ability."
Qingyu nodded.
"Unfortunately, we've now reached a point where we have to fight tooth and nail to have any hope of turning things around."
"Even if we give it our all, there's not much hope—"
Of course, he has his reasons for giving such instructions, after all, he is not the kind of intuitive trainer who leaves the outcome entirely to rock-paper-scissors.
This team has two Mega Kangaskhan as stable firepower, as well as teammates who can cover blinds. Scizor's main function is to provide rotation support, so keeping it alive is the most important thing.
The giant pincer mantis's weakness, particularly its fear of fire, is almost universally known.
Therefore, he thoughtfully provided Scizor with a rare Choco Berry to alleviate the possibility of it having to take a Fire-type attack.
Therefore, no matter what, Scizor can successfully get Tailwind.
After the counterfeit Kangaskhan was defeated, the next Pokémon that Qingyu sent out was not another genuine Mega Kangaskhan, but Incineroar.
Its return instantly extinguished the fighting spirit of Mega Metagross, which had already been threatened once.
Physical Attack -1 -1
Incineroar's Fire Thrust can instantly take down Metagross, and the opponent's two on the field simply can't defend against it.
Therefore, Qingyu has unlimited firing rights.
"Come back, Metagross."
"Tokiss, hold!"
When Qingyu gave the command, the opponent did not hesitate and made the correct judgment.
Right now, we must make Marill take the hit from Flame Charge, and Togekiss must also survive as much as possible.
This is the only chance we still have!
As long as Azuluri is safely deployed, Scizor and Incineroar are no match for it. Relying on the Belly Drum + Facial Surfer combo in the endgame might even give it a chance to fight back.
The idea was wonderful, but the reality was incredibly cruel.
"Incineroar uses a 'threat' on Metagross."
"Scizor, Bullet Punch."
For Qingyu, anticipating the opponent's endgame strategy is actually much simpler than the opening.
After all, there is still a lot of room for error at the beginning, and it is normal for the opponent to make some unpredictable and mysterious moves, especially since he had already witnessed many such moves when he was in a lower rank.
However, the more headwinds there are, or even when the situation is one-sided, the fewer effective actions the opponent can actually take.
As for the current situation—
There is almost only one possibility for the opposing team to turn the tide.
Therefore, Qingyu anticipated the opponent's actions early on and, without hesitation, completely eliminated that possibility.
The effect of making a threat is to lower the opponent's Attack and Special Attack. However, it is of no use to a Marill that the opponent switches in and is about to use Belly Drum to boost its Attack to the maximum.
But when Mega Kangaskhan reappeared after making those harsh remarks, the situation completely collapsed.
Unlike Incineroar, Mega Kangaskhan's Suicide Slam can easily KO it, and Togekiss using Follow Me to protect its teammates will be instantly KO'd by Scizor's Bullet Punch, with no chance to stop it.
Even without switching out, the effect of Tiger God using Rampage would be about the same. After two Belly Drums, Marill's stamina is simply not enough to support it in making a comeback, and Belly Drum will also become unusable after being attacked by Blazing Roaring Tiger.
From the very beginning, when they chose to temporarily avoid the brunt of Two-Sucker's attacks, the opponent had already lost.
Watching the majestic Mega Kangaskhan on the Blue Feather Field, the young trainer, who was the opponent, had a flushed face and his mouth was twitching wildly.
We can't win, we simply can't win —
As long as Teacher Yu operates normally, Bullet Punch will finish off Togekiss, and Marill, who isn't fast enough, will just be a sitting duck and will be easily defeated.
As for the last Mega Metagross in the back row, it can't outspeed the Mega Kangaskhan who has the tailwind.
It's over!
With things having come to this point, the young trainer, having learned his lesson, decided to give up and decisively surrendered.
At the same time, he began to analyze in his mind why he lost.
The answer is obvious.
His two most prized starter Pokémon couldn't carry the team, which led to him having to constantly try to salvage the unfavorable situation later on.
It was supposed to be my favorite Pokémon, but at a crucial moment, it became a burden.
It's such a subtle feeling.
But now that things have come to this, what should I do to become stronger?
The young trainer Hongwen, despite his young age, noticed Qingyu's lineup and then suddenly realized what was going on.
Oh, I see. Didn't Teacher Yu already give me the answer?!
Even if it's your favorite Pokémon, there's no need to play games with them every day!
Even though Teacher Yu's Pokémon are all incredibly powerful, I've never seen him use them to climb the ranks in ranked matches. What does that tell us?
This proves that Teacher Yu was right!
If you want to climb the ranks, you can't be as greedy as before. Only by using stronger Pokémon and team compositions can you reach the Master Ball rank!
It's just a game, Marie and Pokémon will definitely forgive me!
For victory, I'd even abandon old friends!
As his resolve strengthened, the boy, whose face had been flushed, gradually regained his composure and, with a determined look in his eyes, gripped the mouse again, swiping towards his personal interface.
He changed his username to "Strength is everything!" and his bio to "Only victory brings smiles, so I don't want to lose!" before finally showing a satisfied smile.
"Teacher Yu's lineup is indeed very innovative; two Mega Kangaskhan are incredibly troublesome, so—"
"Here you go, this lineup is mine now!"
"call"
Noticing that his opponent had chosen to surrender, Qingyu, who had originally planned to deliver the final blow, breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile that had never left his face became even brighter.
"What an exhilarating battle!"
"Although it was a tactic that came up on the spur of the moment, it's great that it worked."
[Where's the exhilarating feeling? All I see is a boy whose defenses have been broken by Teacher Yu. Teacher Yu, have some humanity!]
Another gifted young man has lost his dream.
[Looking at it another way, at least they got to be matched with Teacher Yu, so it's actually a win for them.]
The comments section quickly erupted with condemnation of Qingyu.
Even so, Qingyu's tactics just now left a very deep impression on them.
[So there's a way to have two Mega Pokémon on the field at the same time? Does that mean all Mega Pokémon except Kangaskhan can be cloned?]
[Wait, there might even be more than two! Don't forget that Teacher Yu's team also has a Ditto! Maybe even three Mega Kangaskhan!]
Are there more experts out there?
[So that's how it is, I'm gradually understanding everything.jpg]
"I told you the strategy behind this lineup is actually very easy to understand; you can remember it after just one look."
Qingyu nodded, not denying their idea.
This transformation tactic is actually quite simple: use transformation moves to turn Smeargle or Ditto into the boss, and then just carry the backpack.
Other teams only have one Mega Gear, but we have three! That's even more awesome than cheating!
The only problem is that this older brother is not easy to find.
Apart from Kangaskhan, most Mega Elves don't have that much power, and most of them have obvious blind spots, making it difficult to balance offense and defense.
Salamence and Metagross might be decent choices, but Qingyu prefers to use Kangaskhan.
The reason is simple: the undiminished parent-child love is just too much fun!
If you can play the official version of the game and still not laugh, you should get diagnosed with Jade Syndrome.
What if the opponent stops laughing?
The smile didn't disappear; it simply shifted from the other person's face to my own.
Therefore, there's no need to pay attention to it.
[I've learned it! I'm going to use the Kangaskhan to climb the ranks!]
[But besides Teacher Yu's tactics, the opposing team's tactics just now seemed quite interesting too~]
[Indeed, I never expected anyone to use Amarillion in ranked matches. I can't believe I encountered this Belly Drum Strongman tactic in high-level matches?]
"Indeed, although it's a very conventional combination, there's still some significance to it."
After glancing at the comments, Qingyu casually chatted about her opponent's strategy.
"Even with the Hercules ability, Marill's fighting power is still not enough, but after Belly Drum, it's a completely different story."
"Once the power is maximized through the abdominal drum, its weak speed becomes less important. You only need to keep repeating the extremely fast water jet to unleash explosive output."
"As for defense, it can be completely handed over to the support character Little Plane. Using 'Watch Me' to share the aggro is indeed a very good defensive strategy."
"If we can stick to this idea, it might actually be a good tactic. At least if I were playing it, I would definitely put another Shroomish in the back row instead of adding more damage dealers."
Qingyu muttered a few words under her breath.
Although it's monotonous, it's often really hard to deal with this kind of opponent.
Amarillie's three weaknesses—grass, electricity, and poison—don't have any strong AoE attacks that can deal effective damage. Therefore, in most cases, only by controlling or eliminating Togekiss can Amarillie be threatened.
The idea is definitely correct, but after this battle with myself, I hope the kid on the other side doesn't lose his Dao heart.
