Meanwhile, Xiao Ran's Primarina had not been idle either, using Water Balloon to rapidly close in on the opponents.
Although Water-type moves would be weakened, that did not mean Fairy-type moves would be too. Primarina lashed out with its long tail, ready to use Draining Kiss.
By then, Dustox's Trainer had already summoned a second Pokémon.
Heracross, the powerhouse among Bug-type Pokémon!
It was a Pokémon with a very gentle temperament, but it held a vital place in the hands of Bug-type Trainers.
Like Pinsir, Heracross not only had excellent base stats, but could also undergo Mega Evolution.
However, Heracross had appeared a little too late. Its Trainer had been checking on Dustox's injuries and had not switched Pokémon immediately.
So by the time Heracross entered the field, Xiao Ran's Primarina had already reached the opposing Primarina, struck with Draining Kiss, and swept away, leaving its enemy groaning on the ground.
As a fellow Water-type Pokémon, Primarina had strong resistance to Water-type moves, but it lacked that same resistance against Fairy-type moves.
With a large amount of its vitality drained, the opposing Primarina was noticeably weaker.
Xiao Ran's Primarina retreated immediately after its strike, as the opposing Heracross had appeared and was charging toward it.
