Dian's Training Insights

Dian breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled at the Beedrill, got up, took out Potion from his backpack, and began to apply it to the bee.

Beedrill looked up at the moonlit sky, slowly closed its eyes, relaxed, and enjoyed a rare moment of rest.

After retrieving the Beedrill, Dian lay down alone in his tent, reflecting on his breeding experience and beginning to summarize it.

Self-reflection is always a good way to make progress, because it can help you discover past shortcomings and reinforce your memories.

Actually, his current insights into Pokémon training lie in two aspects: skills and attributes.

Among the cultivation methods for attributes, the Poison-type is currently the most complete. From the initial weak toxicity to the current Toxic, each step can be Encore. In other words, this is a nearly systematic achievement that we have perfected ourselves.

Similarly, this can also be categorized as a method for improving physical fitness.

In my opinion, Pokémon's inherent strength generally boils down to three things: its Ability, its skills, and its physical attributes.

Other soft skills are more complex, and may involve acquired skills, the Pokémon's personality traits, lessons learned from experience, or even long-term special training.

According to his theory, physical strength is achieved by starting from the fundamentals, finding a suitable entry point based on the Pokémon's attributes, personality, Ability, and even habits, thereby enhancing its attributes, which in turn strengthens its body.

Examples include the toxic breeding of Beedrill and the fear Absorb of Misdreavus.

There's actually a lot to explore regarding Ability. For example, Beedrill, which also has the Swarm Ability, will likely develop and utilize that Ability in very different ways.

Finally, there's the skill system that showcases all these achievements.

According to Dian's understanding, all skills are probably interconnected. From the initial Water-type skill Bubble, to Water Gun, Hydro Pump, and the derived Surf, there is a subtle connection between them.

The reason why the Misdreavus was able to learn the Confuse Ray so quickly is because she had already learned the Dazzling Gleam before, and the foundation for quickly learning the Dazzling Gleam is the Psywave from the beginning.

Similarly, the initial Growl, as it continuously consumed Fear Energy, slowly infused with the unique energy of Ghost-type Pokémon, thus giving rise to the Astonish move.

Therefore, the reason why it was able to quickly learn the Confuse Ray is due to the two reasons mentioned above: firstly, the experience of learning Psywave and Psybeam before, and secondly, the fact that Misdreavus was constantly consuming Fear Energy, plus the full development and use of Ghost-type energy by its Egg Move Shadow Sneak.

The reason why Mean Look isn't progressing much is that although the name sounds like a Ghost-type move, it's actually a Normal-type status move. Because there's no foundation, progress is slow.

One of the original skills of the Misdreavus is Spite, which uses Grudge to form a mysterious seal, making it increasingly difficult for the opponent to use a certain skill.

The hall was very interested in the use of Grudge in this skill, as it was very likely a component of the Hex skill.

Logically speaking, given Misdreavus's current development and use of its Ghost-type energy, it should be able to learn this skill without a teacher, but it always feels like something is missing.

After careful consideration, he realized that this was where the problem lay.

When the Misdreavus learns Hex, its skills will form a complete system, using three beam skills as interference damage, confusing the opponent before Pursuit with Hex.

Shadow Sneak, on the other hand, provide full support, including attack, defense, and even disruption.

The Astonish skill is for emergencies, while the Mean Look prevents the opponent from escaping.

If Napolant's Hex system is added, it becomes even more powerful, allowing for the free execution of various tactics.

Only when it reaches this level can Misdreavus be considered a trump card in the Palace's hands.

If Misdreavus represents the result of the Lord's skill system, Beedrill represents the result of his attribute training.

Both of these achievements represent his gradual progress in these two cultivation methods.

This method may be slightly weaker in terms of specialization in a particular type or category of Pokémon compared to other Trainer, but its advantage lies in its universality.

So after seeing the Quagsire's attributes, Dian's intention to release it faded, because although it was already a fully-developed Pokémon, it was just right for his training and nurturing methods.

As he thought about it, he felt increasingly pressed for time, realizing there simply wasn't enough. If it weren't for the fact that Misdreavus and Beedrill had already adapted to his training methods and had become so ingrained in their very being that he didn't have to worry about them much, he really wouldn't dare to catch any more Pokémon.

This isn't an economic problem, although there are economic issues, but the main problem is limited energy.

So once Misdreavus and Beedrill are able to stand on their own and train independently, he will shift his focus to Zubat and Quagsire.

As for Skiploom, this is where the advantages of Grass-type Pokémon become apparent. As long as it adapts to its own growth, Trainer don't need to worry about it much at all, making it a truly worry-free Pokémon.

As for the other two Pokémon, Houndoom will eventually be handed over to the person it was promised to, because given its determination to die with Kanon, there is no good way to win it over unless some kind of mind-controlling skill is used.

However, if that were actually done, the temple would no longer be a temple.

He still doesn't know what the other Honedge is, because logically it should belong to a weakened Aegislash.

As he pondered, his thoughts returned to Beedrill. According to the theory of his skill system, Beedrill currently possesses the Status skills Focus Energy, Agility, and Swords Dance. These three skills, in terms of attack, speed, and spirit, constitute the three important cornerstones of Beedrill's strength.

Fury Attack is the most basic attack skill, from which the Rage skill is derived. The reason why Beedrill and Beedrill Leader were able to learn this skill so quickly was because of their deep understanding of Fury Attack and their experience in using Swords Dance.

The remaining moves are the Bug-type move Twineedle and the Dark-type move Pursuit, which he suddenly learned.

If the theory is correct, the follow -Pursuit attack is the Dark-type move "Assurance," which is the move that the Mengmeng Poochyena knows.
