Snorlax landed on the ground, making the entire battlefield shudder.
Not only the spectators, but even Su Bai was a little startled.
Who said these guys had no tactics?
Sending out this big, round lump that couldn't be smashed or battered down first-wasn't that meant to shut down my speed?
Anyone else facing something like this would lose the will to live, never mind fight.
Too bad I'm not anyone else. I'm Su Bai.
"Snorlax, use Belly Drum!"
"Knock Off!"
His opponent made the first move. Su Bai watched Snorlax raise its thick hands and pound heavily on its belly.
After two thunderous thuds, Snorlax visibly weakened.

Snorlax's trainer froze on the spot.

Su Bai smiled faintly. A Snorlax with Gluttony-Belly Drum would activate its Ability, prompting it to eat its held Sitrus Berry immediately. That would maximize its Attack while restoring its health to a reasonably safe level.
Then it could rely on its same-type Body Slam. It might not knock out everything in one hit, but its power would still be terrifying.
