The problem was that Milotic did not have any moves that could directly lower a specific one of the opponent's Stats.
Although it had [Haze], if she wanted to lower the opponent's Stats, she could only use [Icy Wind].
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yunqin decided not to use that move to probe the opponent's Ability.
There was not much point. After all, her tactics were not like Lu Ze's.
Lu Ze's tactics favored raising his own Stats and lowering the opponent's Stats.
But that also depended on the Pokémon she had.
Among her Pokémon, aside from Ice Ninetales and Mr. Rime, none were that type.
Or rather, none of the Pokémon she had sent out in this battle were that type.
Milotic and Cloyster were both the kind that relied on forceful offense.
There was even less need to mention Ice Darmanitan.
Yet even though Tang Yunqin's Milotic had no moves capable of lowering the opponent's Stats, the French competitor was still extremely irritated when he saw Milotic take the field.
Milotic had very high Special Defense. Setting type matchups aside, its species itself somewhat countered Pokémon like Alakazam, which excelled in Special Attack.
Although Alakazam's movepool included a move like [Charge Beam] that could counter Milotic, relying on that move to defeat Milotic—
That was pure wishful thinking.
The French Elite Four now understood that this battle would most likely be over for him.
He would be stopped in this round.
If he had the chance to do it over, he definitely would not have made so many mistakes early on.
If not for those early mistakes, he could have used Flygon or Espeon against Tang Yunqin's Milotic now.
That way, with four Master level Pokémon in hand, defeating Tang Yunqin would have been very easy.
