In the arena, under the watchful eyes of the commentators and every spectator, Will-O-Wisp ultimately failed to go off.
It had been interrupted by Encore.
Chu Wanquan's expression changed. This was trouble!
Affected by Encore, Dragapult was forced to use Sucker Punch again.
However, Gallade did not use an attacking move, which made Chu Wanquan breathe a sigh of relief.
At the very least, this meant his Dragapult would not have to be switched out, nor would it be defeated by the opposing Gallade.
After all, as long as Gallade used an attacking move, his Dragapult would use Sucker Punch to interrupt it.
That counted as a silver lining amid the misfortune.
Still, Chu Wanquan ultimately decided to switch out his Pokémon.
During Encore's duration, Gallade could easily use Swords Dance three times, causing Sucker Punch to fail.
At the same time, it could boost Gallade's own Attack stat.
Three uses of Swords Dance were already enough to max out Gallade's Attack stat.
A Gallade with maxed Attack, backed by Teleport, was something none of his Pokémon could withstand.
After recalling Dragapult, Chu Wanquan sent out Pangoro.
However, as soon as Pangoro entered the field, before Gallade could even attack, it used Parting Shot and withdrew once more.
Chu Wanquan smiled as he watched Gallade's Attack and Special Attack fall, then sent out his next Pokémon.
"Go, Indeedee!"
Chu Wanquan sent out Indeedee. Indeedee's movepool also included Fairy-type moves capable of countering Gallade.
Moreover, as another Psychic-type Pokémon, although Indeedee could not use Teleport, there was basically no way Gallade's Teleport could deceive it.
The moment Indeedee appeared on the field, its Ability, Psychic Surge, activated, changing the battlefield into Psychic Terrain.
Psychic Terrain increased the power of Psychic-type moves used by grounded Pokémon and prevented them from being affected
