Facing Magnezone's attack, Sirfetch'd tried to hold on and block it.
But just as it got back up, a golden current flashed across its body.
Sirfetch'd's entire body stiffened, and it was immediately struck by Magnezone's attack.
"When it rains, it pours."
Lu Ze shook his head helplessly. Sirfetch'd might have been able to use [Detect] to block it.
