That Magneton was a full size larger than ordinary members of its kind. Its dark gray metal shell gleamed coldly under the lights, while three Magnemite units formed a triangle around its body, emitting a low hum.
Though it was a Steel type and Electric type combination, Magneton was naturally capable of flight, making it nearly immune to most Ground-type moves. It held a considerable advantage in its battle against Krookodile.
Moreover, its Steel-type resistance was excellent, allowing it to resist Krookodile's Rock-type and Dragon-type moves. Among Krookodile's current moves, only Fighting-type moves could inflict significant damage on it.
As the opposing Magneton appeared on the battlefield, Xinhai's gaze sharpened, but his voice did not hesitate in the slightest. "Krookodile, Rock Slide!"

"Magneton, Barrier!" Mentor Uehara's command was equally precise.
A translucent curtain of light lit up before the floating Magneton, its Psychic-type energy forming a faint barrier in front of it.
Rock Slide crashed into the Barrier. Most of the rocks were deflected the instant they struck the light screen, and the few that passed through were easily dodged by Magneton.
