As a Psychic- and Fighting-type Pokémon, Gallade held a type advantage over Hariyama.
Samon Hernandez understood this as well, which was why the moment he saw Gallade take the field, he ordered his Hariyama to use Whirlwind.
It forcibly blew Gallade back into its Poké Ball, forcing Sui Yan to switch Pokémon.
But Sui Yan was clearly rather lucky, as he did not send out a Pokémon at Elite Four Level, Stage Three.
After Whirlwind, Torkoal returned to the field.
"Fire Spin!"
This time, Sui Yan did not hesitate. The moment Torkoal took the field, he ordered it to use Fire Spin.
It directly prevented the opponent from switching Pokémon.
Although Hariyama was hit by Fire Spin, it still charged toward Torkoal.
The Ground-type move Stomping Tantrum could still deal double-effective damage to Torkoal.
But before it could reach Torkoal, it took a full-force Eruption head-on.
Under Sunny Day, a full-powered Eruption was still terrifyingly powerful.
Even so, Hariyama forced its way right up to Torkoal and used Stomping Tantrum.
"Iron Defense!"
The instant Hariyama got close, Sui Yan hurriedly ordered Torkoal to use Iron Defense, boosting its physical defense to reduce the damage from the attack.
But once its Guts Ability activated, Hariyama's attack power became terrifying.
One Stomping Tantrum failed to take Torkoal down, but the following Facade left Torkoal completely unable to withstand it and knocked it out.
Of course, there was also the damage from the earlier Eruption, along with the Burn damage inflicted by the Flame Orb it carried.
And the lingering damage from Fire Spin.
As Torkoal fell, the damage from Fire Spin and Burn triggered simultaneously. After defeating Torkoal, Hariyama also immediately lost its ability to battle.
"Both Pokémon have lost their ability to battle. Trainers, please switch Pokémon."
