Zhang Cheng chose to seize the initiative, commanding Diancie to use its signature Fairy-type move, Moonblast.
Floating in midair, Diancie gathered the fairy-type energy around it into a pink orb. Mysterious lunar power radiated from the orb as it hurtled toward Mega Garchomp.
"Mega Garchomp, use Sand Tomb!"
To deal with Diancie, Su Qian had specifically equipped Mega Garchomp with Soft Sand. Ground-type moves dealt double damage to Diancie.
Su Qian had originally wanted Mega Garchomp to attack Diancie with the more powerful Earthquake, but Diancie was floating in the air. Earthquake attacked by unleashing the ground's power, so it would have little effect on Diancie.
After weighing his options, Su Qian chose to have Mega Garchomp attack with Sand Tomb, which could deal continuous damage.
Upon receiving Su Qian's command, Mega Garchomp rapidly absorbed ground-type energy, forming a vortex of sand packed with destructive power.
Once Sand Tomb took shape, Mega Garchomp swung its arms fiercely, sending the terrifying attack toward Diancie.
The two attacks passed each other. Diancie's Moonblast struck Mega Garchomp in the abdomen, unleashing a massive burst of fairy-type energy.
Mega Garchomp had very high Physical Attack, but its two defensive stats were nowhere near as outrageous. Diancie's super-effective strike inflicted considerable damage.
At the same time, Mega Garchomp's Sand Tomb swept in. A vortex of sand and dirt surrounded Diancie, pelting it relentlessly with sand and stones charged with ground-type power.
Diancie did not take much damage in the short term, but Sand Tomb dealt ongoing damage. As time passed, it would inflict considerable harm.
"Mega Garchomp, use Sandstorm!"
Su Qian commanded Mega Garchomp to unleash Sandstorm. Like Rain Dance, Sandstorm was a weather move that could turn the battlefield's weather into a sandstorm.
Mega Garchomp swung its arms, manipulating the rock-type move energy around
