[Audino used Play Nice and Baby-Doll Eyes in succession to lower the opponents' Attack, then applied Life Dew to itself.]
[Although Metagross and Darmanitan landed their attacks on Audino, their repeatedly weakened Attack meant they dealt no meaningful damage.]
[Audino's Life Dew immediately healed its injuries.]
[The QJ Team's Dragonite and Charizard faced off against the KL Team's Altaria and Dragonite. In a 2v2 battle, it would be difficult to settle the outcome quickly unless someone made a major mistake.]
[Hoopa seized an opening and fired a Mega Psybeam from behind, hitting Darmanitan.]
[Metagross tried to block it but was too late. Darmanitan was knocked to the ground, though its eyes had not started swirling yet, so it probably wasn't too badly hurt.]
[The key was whether the KL Team's two Pokémon could withstand Hoopa's powerful attacks. If they couldn't and were picked off one by one, their situation would become dire.]
[Audino used Disarming Voice again, affecting Metagross and Darmanitan once more. Hoopa and Darumaka attacked simultaneously, targeting Darmanitan.]
[Were they planning to take it out in one fell swoop?]
[All right, we could see Darumaka using Work Up and Bite. Darmanitan couldn't break free.]
[Its fists weren't idle, either. Fire Punch after Fire Punch slammed into Darmanitan's face.]

Its eyebrows resemble yellow clouds, its belly has three yellow spots, and its back has yellow, gull-shaped markings. Galarian Darumaka shares many physical similarities
