Facing Kingdra, Bai Yuling decisively chose to have Tapu Lele attack with a Fairy-type move.
Although Psychic Terrain boosted the power of Psychic-type moves, Fairy-type moves were super effective against Kingdra and would work better.
Tapu Lele dispersed the Psychic-type energy already gathered and began focusing on controlling fairy-type energy.
The fairy-type energy on the battlefield gathered together, forming a special Moonblast that shot toward Kingdra.
"Kingdra, use Brine!"
Zhang Cheng swiftly gave the command as well, having Kingdra take Tapu Lele head-on. Tapu Lele's HP was low now, making this an excellent opportunity to attack. Staying on the defensive would only put him at a disadvantage. Now was the time to go all out.
He chose to have Kingdra use Brine, a move that dealt double damage to Pokémon with less than half their HP remaining.
Even Tapu Lele, with such high Special Defense, would take heavy damage if Brine hit.
Facing the legendary Pokémon Tapu Lele, Kingdra remained extremely wary and dared not let down its guard. It swiftly followed Zhang Cheng's command, absorbing water elemental power and turning it into Brine to attack Tapu Lele.
Faced with the incoming Moonblast, Kingdra did not choose to clash with it. Instead, it redirected Brine around Moonblast to attack Tapu Lele directly.
Brine was not particularly powerful on its own. It needed to hit a Pokémon with less than half its HP to achieve its full effect.
If Brine collided with the opposing Moonblast, it would certainly be the weaker move and would be scattered by the opposing energy.
Kingdra had made exactly the right choice. Both Pokémon now took the other's attack, and Brine unleashed double damage, leaving Tapu Lele with less than a fifth of its HP.
Meanwhile, because Kingdra was weak to Fairy-type moves, its HP plummeted
