"Mega Venusaur, huh."
Lu Ze looked seriously at the Mega Venusaur his opponent had sent out. "I wonder if Porygon-Z can handle it."
Porygon-Z was, after all, only at the first stage of Elite Four level, while the opponent's Mega Venusaur was at the second stage.
There was a full stage of difference in strength, though Porygon-Z should have had a higher Special Attack stat than the opposing Mega Venusaur.
But in terms of stamina, defenses, and speed, it might not measure up.
Every stage of improvement at Elite Four level was enormous.
"Porygon, want to give it a try?"
Lu Ze looked at Porygon-Z and asked. Porygon-Z did not disappoint him, nodding in response.
Fortunately, the opponent's Mega Venusaur did not have Psych Up in its move pool. If it did, Lu Ze would really have had to reconsider.
It would be bad enough if he failed to defeat the opponent, only to give it a +4 Special Attack boost. That would make things troublesome for his later Pokémon.
