But Goodra was, after all, a Pseudo-legendary, and one exceptionally skilled at defense.
Goodra's terrifying Special Defense kept it from losing its ability to battle directly from that attack.
Sui Yan was somewhat surprised by this, but he still commanded his Torkoal to attack.
This time, however, it was not [Eruption], but [Stone Edge].
[Stone Edge], a physical attack, could deal tremendous damage to Goodra.
Compared to its Special Defense, Goodra's Defense stat was relatively low.
"This Torkoal's attack power seems a little too high."
"Because of Shell Smash, perhaps."
Since the battlefield had just been completely covered in white steam, no one had clearly seen Torkoal boost itself.
Only Lu Ze, based on his understanding of Sui Yan, roughly guessed why Torkoal's attack power was so high.
If nothing unexpected had happened, it had used [Shell Smash].
"And there's a strong chance it used Shell Smash twice!"
"If that's the case, then it makes sense."
Lance nodded slightly. As a Dragon-type trainer himself, he knew very well just how resistant Dragon-type Pokémon like Goodra were to Fire-type special attacks.
Yet even so, after being hit by [Eruption] just now, Goodra's condition had immediately worsened considerably.
Bang!
A huge, sharp rock smashed toward Goodra, but Goodra blocked it with [Dragon Tail].
After blocking the attack, Iris did not hesitate and commanded her Goodra to change the weather.

[Sunny Day] increased the damage of Fire-type moves, while [Rain] reduced the damage of Fire-type moves.
Once the weather changed, Torkoal's damage plummeted!
While Iris commanded
