Defense Curl + Rollout.
It had been a classic move combination in his previous life, and quite a few people in this world knew about it too.
Whitney, for instance, the future Gym Leader of the Goldenrod Gym in the Johto Region, had used this tactic to leave plenty of unsuspecting newcomers reeling.
A young Qingyu had also suffered terribly at the hands of this "incredibly pretty girl" in the game. Having chosen Cyndaquil as his starter, he simply could not beat that damned Gym, so the memory had stuck with him.
Defense Curl was an unremarkable status move that raised a Pokémon's Defense by one stage.
Beyond that, it had another simple, no-frills effect: after using it, Rollout's power doubled.
Although the combination was so basic it hardly needed explaining, it was undeniably straightforward and brutal, with considerable practical value in actual battles.
It was perfect for Dunsparce, which naturally knew both moves.
After using Defense Curl to curl into a ball, Dunsparce began twisting its body as the Klawf swaggered toward it unchecked.
Once it got moving, the smoother shape Defense Curl gave its body made every motion effortless.
Before long, it had built up a terrifying speed.
The Klawf gathering in twos and threes had no time to react before Dunsparce barreled straight through them, exploiting the staggering gap in their speed.
The first batch of Klawf it struck went flying like bowling pins.
The collisions did not slow Dunsparce down at all. Instead, it used the impact to swing around a corner and charge toward the remaining Klawf at an even more terrifying speed.
Rollout's initial power was very low, but once the move began, there was no stopping it.
And as its speed kept increasing, its force grew more and more frightening.
