"Nicely done! Rhyperior, keep attacking! Use Earthquake!"
After landing that hit, Han Tian was in high spirits. He intended to have Rhyperior teach Swampert another lesson with a powerful Earthquake.
With a vicious look in his eyes, Rhyperior stamped both feet against the ground, triggering a violent earthquake. Tremendous power surged through the earth toward Swampert.

"Since you're coming, don't expect to leave!" Zhang Cheng ordered coldly. "Swampert, use Hydro Pump at full power!"
Zhang Cheng could actually have ordered Swampert to attack right away, since Water-type moves were four times as effective against Rhyperior.
However, this Rhyperior's Ability was solid rock, which reduced the damage of supereffective attacks. As a result, Swampert's attack would not have been enough for an instant knockout.
That was why Zhang Cheng had chosen to have Swampert set up rainy weather first. The boost to Water-type moves in the rain would offset the effect of Rhyperior's Ability.
"Gana~ Gana~"
Swampert showed no mercy to Rhyperior, who still dared to take the offensive. He fired a full-powered Hydro Pump from his mouth straight at Rhyperior.
Since Rhyperior's move traveled through the ground while Swampert's Hydro Pump shot through the air, the two attacks never collided, each heading toward the opposing Pokémon.

Swampert's Hydro Pump was four times as effective against Rhyperior. With a same-type attack bonus, the boost from the Mystic Water he held, and the rainy weather on top of that, the
