Dugtrio slammed his entire body into the rippling water, forcing his way through the Water Pulse before hurtling toward Cloyster with what energy remained.
The impact of the rippling water greatly weakened Dugtrio's Headbutt, leaving it to inflict only minimal damage on Cloyster.
Meanwhile, taking the Water Pulse head-on had cost Dugtrio nearly half his HP.
The battle had barely begun, yet Graveler and Dugtrio were already in such bad shape. The effects of type advantage were on full display.
"We should switch Pokémon. Graveler and Dugtrio can't fight Water-type Pokémon at all. Their attacks deal double damage, while the power of our moves is greatly reduced," Wei Shi said as he assessed the situation.
An Feng nodded as well. If they didn't switch now, Graveler and Dugtrio would be knocked out.
"Come back, Dugtrio."
"Thanks for your hard work, Graveler. Take a rest."
They recalled their Pokémon from the field, then each threw a second Poké Ball.
"Go, Gligar!"
"Shuckle, I choose you!"
The second Pokémon Wei Shi and An Feng sent out both had the Rock type as well.
The difference was that, in addition to the Rock type, these two Pokémon also had the Bug and Flying types.
All their Pokémon were Rock- or Ground-types, so their only option now was to switch to Rock-type Pokémon with additional types.
At least this would let them deal respectable damage. Using Bug-type and Flying-type moves against Poliwhirl and Cloyster was much better than using Rock-type moves.
Looking at the two newly appeared Pokémon, Zhang Cheng opened the system and first examined Gligar in midair. A wealth of information appeared in his mind:
``` Name: Gligar (Level 26)
