Calamity Dragon Rage

Sniper activated, striking Absol's vital point.

Twin Needles pierced directly into Absol's body, and then Beedrill used its twin needles to lift Absol up.

It flung Absol away, smashing it heavily into the ground.

"Absol has lost its ability to battle. Beedrill wins," the referee announced.

No one had expected it to lose its
