Hydro Pump soon collided with Weavile. Facing the torrent of Water Energy sweeping toward it, Weavile tore an opening through it with its sharp claws.
After using Swords Dance, Weavile's attack power had surpassed even Kingdra's rain-boosted strength, allowing it to break through Kingdra's assault at very little cost.

Scald only had a chance of inflicting a burn, rather than a guaranteed effect. Zhang Cheng had simply decided to try his luck. If it worked, he could turn the battle around immediately; if it did not, he would continue fighting as usual.
Judging by the result, Lady Luck had certainly favored
