Who Messed with My Precious Cabbage?!

After Lu Ze gave Sui Yan a push, he headed onto the field excitedly.

Actually, weather teams like Sui Yan's were considered quite easy to counter by the Data Squads of various countries.

Because most weather teams worked like this.

They opened with the team's weather setter.

So their countermeasures were simple as well.

Either they immediately took out the weather setter.

But Sui Yan's weather setter was clearly a Torkoal.

As a pure Fire type, Torkoal was only weak to Ground, Rock type, and Water-type moves.

Combined with the Sunny Day it could activate upon entering the field, which weakened the opponent's Water-type attacks, as well as its naturally high physical defense—

So, when the weather setter could not be easily knocked out, the Data Squads of various countries had a second method.

They could use moves such as Fire Spin or Whirlpool, which inflicted the Bound condition, to forcibly keep it on the field.

As everyone knew, whether it was a weather team or a composition-based team, what they feared most was being forcibly kept on the field and unable to switch.

Because that meant their defensive switching or their powerful weather-boosted attackers could not enter the field, leading to defeat.

The referee raised the small flag, and both contestants released their Pokémon at the same time.

"Go, Mandibuzz!"

"Go, Charizard!"
