Dian hadn't brought up Zeraora in Fula City without reason.
Someone had indeed suggested that he catch an Electric-type Pokémon to shore up his team.
The Elite crown was unlike any other title. He couldn't afford to leave anything to chance.
But after thinking it over again and again, he had given up on the idea.
Not because it would be troublesome, but because Zeraora wasn't a good fit.
According to a top Pokémon Watcher's investigation and analysis, Zeraora was probably Electric-type. It looked like a cat that stood upright, and like many Mythical Pokémon, it was small, standing roughly 1.5 meters tall.
Its streamlined build alone suggested it was almost certainly a speed-oriented Pokémon.
Later, a Watcher who specialized in Electric-type Pokémon had gone to test it.
Under the current classification, its Ability should be Volt Absorb.
Judging by Zeraora's strength, it could very likely draw lightning from nature without pause, achieving a kind of "perpetual motion."
In other words, it converted electromagnetic energy from its surroundings into stamina and power.
Its development of Volt Absorb had likely reached the highest level.
But further investigation had also uncovered its weaknesses.
Unlike ordinary Electric-type Pokémon such as Pikachu, Zeraora had no organ for storing electricity inside its body.
Zeraora had poor resistance to attacks of various types.
In the end, all the intelligence had landed in Dian's hands. His own judgment was that Zeraora wasn't worth the considerable effort it would take to catch.
According to the data, he already had at least six Pokémon that could beat it decisively.
In particular, Zeraora's inability to store electricity struck him as a major weakness. An opponent could exploit it far too easily.
"Electric-type. Fighting type."
Dian mulled it over as he walked toward the hotel provided by the Sinnoh League.
