The shock wave blazed with an intense green light. It was Shaymin's signature move, Seed Flare.
As a Mythical Pokémon's signature move, Seed Flare had the same power as Solar Beam, but came with no drawbacks and required no charging, allowing it to be unleashed immediately. If it hit, it also had a chance to sharply lower the opponent's Special Defense.
By comparison, powerful Grass-type moves like Leaf Storm and Solar Beam seemed rather lackluster. Seed Flare completely outclassed them.
This was another reason Mythical Pokémon were so powerful. Besides their extremely high base stats, they possessed powerful signature moves that ordinary Pokémon could never learn.
A powerful shock wave erupted from Shaymin's body and hurtled toward Diancie.
"Diancie, use Protect!"
Zhang Cheng knew this was Shaymin's strongest attack, so he decisively chose to defend first and weather the assault.
Floating in midair, Diancie used her control over elemental power to swiftly create a sturdy Protect barrier.
Shaymin's Seed Flare shock wave struck the Protect barrier, expending a large amount of grass-type energy before finally shattering it.
The remaining energy struck Diancie's body, knocking her HP down to half.
"Diancie, use Stone Edge!"
After successfully defending, Zhang Cheng immediately ordered Diancie to counterattack, hoping to wear Shaymin down as much as possible.
