"This Gengar is so strong!"
After one exchange, Iris looked solemnly at the Mega Gengar in the arena.
Although Mega Gengar excelled in Special Attack, her Goodra was not particularly skilled in Special Attack.
But this one-sided crushing was already enough to show just how powerful Gengar was.
Fortunately, her Goodra's Special Defense stat was not weak.
Moreover, Dark-type attacks were not super effective against it, so Goodra had not suffered much damage just now.
"Goodra, charge in and use Throat Chop!"
Iris's Goodra had the [Gooey] Ability.
When a Pokémon with this Ability was hit by a contact move, it could lower the attacker's Speed by one stage.
Likewise, when a Pokémon with this Ability used a contact move against an opponent, it could also lower the opponent's Speed by one stage.
It could be said to be an extremely useful Ability.
Gengar's Special Attack was powerful, and it was also very fast.
Getting close would deal super effective damage while also reducing Gengar's Speed.
It was a very good response.
"Curse!"
After Goodra approached, Mega Gengar activated [Curse].
It sacrificed half its HP and inflicted the [Curse] state on Goodra.
Iris became somewhat anxious now. Under the [Curse] state, Goodra's HP would continue to decrease.
It would not be able to hold on for long!
If she could not defeat Mega Gengar within that time, things would become troublesome afterward!

But Mega Gengar merely gave a sinister chuckle and entered Alternate Space.
All it had to do next was stall for time.
Of course, it could still attack Goodra and deal damage.
It was just that Mega Gengar would most likely not
