The vast Hail instantly covered the battlefield. Even though Honchkrow was fast, it could not withstand a field-wide Blizzard.
"Honchkrow, Sucker Punch!"
Fortunately, Honchkrow still had enough stamina. After one Blizzard, it had not immediately lost the ability to battle.
Although Crawdaunt had used Taunt, preventing Honchkrow from using status moves.
Sucker Punch was an attacking move, so it could naturally still be used.
And under Hail, Crawdaunt would most likely continue using Blizzard.
That way, Honchkrow could strike Crawdaunt first and get in close!
Calville's plan was a good one.
And the situation on the field unfolded according to his expectations.
Crawdaunt used Blizzard again, but before it could unleash the move, Honchkrow had already arrived in front of it.
Sucker Punch landed, sending Crawdaunt flying.
However, Lu Ze did not show any surprise.
Sucker Punch was a move he knew very well.
But would it work?
The Dark-type Sucker Punch could only deal half damage to the Dark-type Crawdaunt. Honchkrow's attack did not have much effect on Crawdaunt at all.
And had he forgotten why Lu Ze had made Crawdaunt use Hail together with Blizzard?
Coming in close on its own?
Then again, even if it did not approach voluntarily, Honchkrow would not be able to endure the next Blizzard anyway.
"Aqua Jet! Then Brick Break!"
This time, Crawdaunt did not give its opponent another chance to get away.
The instant it steadied itself, it charged at Honchkrow.
After slamming into Honchkrow and forcibly enduring one of its attacks, Crawdaunt used Brick Break to take it out directly.
"Honchkrow has lost the ability to battle. Please switch Pokémon."
"Go, Eelektross!"
After recalling Honchkrow into its Poké Ball, Calville sent out his third Pokémon.
