Bai Yuling did not choose to attack Zeraora right away. Instead, she had Tapu Bulu use Swords Dance to raise its Attack.
With the recovery provided by Grassy Terrain and Tapu Bulu's resistance to Electric-type moves, it was virtually impossible for Zeraora to defeat Tapu Bulu quickly.
Bai Yuling intended to exploit that advantage to build up Tapu Bulu's Physical Attack in preparation for facing Diancie at the end.
Upon receiving Bai Yuling's command, Tapu Bulu quickly began a strange dance.
Swords Dance activated successfully, sharply raising Tapu Bulu's Attack.
"Seriously? You're going to max out its stats just like that? Do you think my Zeraora isn't even here?"
Zhang Cheng found the situation troublesome. His Zeraora really did have a hard time stopping Tapu Bulu.
"Zeraora, attack with Zap Cannon!"
Although Electric-type moves were not very effective against Tapu Bulu, Zhang Cheng could approach the problem in other ways.
Zap Cannon was undoubtedly a good choice. It could deal some damage to Tapu Bulu while also inflicting paralysis and lowering its speed.
Tapu Bulu was not particularly fast to begin with. If it was paralyzed, its movements would become extremely sluggish.
Zeraora could also tell that its opponent did not consider it a threat, and it was furious. Upon receiving its Trainer's command, it unleashed the Electric-type energy within its body, determined to teach its opponent a lesson.
Zap Cannon was a special move, so it would still be reasonably effective against Tapu Bulu.
A vast amount of electromagnetic energy gathered in front of Zeraora, forming a powerful electromagnetic cannonball.
Zap Cannon activated, launching an energy-packed projectile that slammed into Tapu Bulu's body.
Despite its resistance to Electric-type attacks, Tapu Bulu's Special Defense was not particularly high. The special move still took away a quarter of its HP.
However,
