It was a fairly uncommon move that built up power to raise both of the user's defensive stats.
But Xiao Ran knew that Stockpile could be followed up with other moves.
One was Swallow, which consumed the stockpiled power to restore the user's condition.
The other was Spit Up, which released all the stockpiled power at once to deal massive damage to the enemy.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Raichu was still puzzling over why its opponent had been unaffected by the electricity. The blast struck it head-on, knocking it straight off the platform and into the pool on the other side.
"Raichu!" Lai Mingyuan cried out. He hadn't expected such a sudden and ferocious counterattack.
To be honest, with Raichu's Gym Leader Class strength, he hadn't taken a Late Stage Elite Class Pokémon seriously at all.
