[Haxorus? Why not choose Cinderace or Inteleon?]
[Yeah, Cinderace and Inteleon were obviously stronger.]
When they saw that the Pokémon Leon had sent out was Haxorus rather than what they considered his stronger Pokémon, like Cinderace or Inteleon, they could not help but feel puzzled.
"Maybe it's because Haxorus suits Leon's tactics better."
Listening to the comments read aloud by the Rotom Phone, Diantha also spoke up.

Unfortunately, now that Lu Ze had seen which Z-Move it was carrying, he naturally would not send Snorlax out.
And since Metagross was not weak to the Fighting type, Lu Ze had no intention of switching Pokémon either.

After all, this was
