Through his own observations and Calyrex's assistance from afar, Luo Mu had roughly figured out why Goomy had "fallen so low."
First.
Calyrex had sensed a faint force lingering inside Goomy's body, one with the effect of suppressing evolution.
That force was only barely still present, however. It had long since lost the ability to prevent Goomy from evolving.
There had to be another reason it could not evolve.
Based on that information, Luo Mu concluded that Goomy had likely accidentally swallowed an Everstone when it was young and did not know how to expel it. As a result, every time it neared evolution, the Everstone forcibly pushed it back.
By now, the Everstone's power had become negligible, but Goomy had already "grown used to" being unable to evolve and completely accepted that reality.
Second.
There was the information obtained from Adaman: its father was the leader of the group and also an Alpha Pokémon.
As everyone knew.
Pokémon were miraculous creatures whose powerful parents gave them a high chance of inheriting their talents, even allowing them to hatch into the world carrying some of their signature moves.
Essentially, it was the same principle as intelligent and powerful humans coming together and their descendants having a high likelihood of inheriting excellent genes.
Naturally, there could be exceptions, and offspring could not possibly inherit only the best genes. There were cases where they inherited the less desirable traits of both parents instead.
But Goomy was clearly not one of those cases. Its size, so different from others of its kind, made that obvious.
To borrow a theory from before Luo Mu had transmigrated.
"Among creatures in nature, small ones may be powerful, but among large ones, there are almost no weak ones."
That theory was not absolute, but it reflected a
