But Dracovish's skill activation speed was ultimately no match for Mega Metagross's speed.
Although Mega Metagross could not use [Teleport], after using [Bullet Punch], it was just as incredibly fast.
Dracovish had only just opened its mouth when Mega Metagross arrived right in front of it.
One [Bullet Punch] interrupted Dracovish's Crunch, and one [Meteor Mash] sent Dracovish rolling twice across the ground.
The Dracovish that had been knocked flying quickly flipped back onto its feet.
But Mega Metagross gave it no chance to counterattack, raising its hand and using [Psychic] to directly control Dracovish and lift it into the air.
Then it smashed it heavily into the ground.
Dracovish was Dragon- and Water-type, only weak to Dragon and Fairy-type attacks.
Not only that, Dracovish also resisted Steel-type attacks.
Faced with this situation, Mega Metagross also chose to use Psychic-type moves.
After all, its move pool did not contain any Dragon- or Fairy-type moves.
[Psychic] left Dracovish thoroughly disoriented. Facing Mega Metagross as it charged in once more, Ash decisively commanded his Dracovish to attack.
It was still [Crunch]!
But this time was different. This time, both Dracovish and Ash were going straight for a damage trade.
Even if it lost its ability to battle outright, it had to deal some damage to Mega Metagross.
Ash had the confidence to do that now. After all, Pikachu had yet to take the field.
Meanwhile, Steven Stone's Mega Metagross was already his final Pokémon.
On the field, Dracovish was sent flying by a punch from Mega Metagross.
But Dracovish's [Crunch] also successfully struck Mega Metagross.
It dealt double super-effective damage to Mega Metagross.
Though it was not a same-type move, boosted by the Ability [Strong Jaw], the blow still hurt Mega Metagross quite badly.
"Finish it with Psychic!"
Seeing this, Steven Stone
