With a Substitute protecting Hydreigon, even if Screech affected him, he still had a chance to fire off a Draco Meteor at minimal cost, badly injure his opponent, and then switch out.
That was why Qingyu dared to make that call.
And things played out exactly as he had expected.
Drayden's Hydreigon immediately unleashed a Draco Meteor, aimed straight at Kommo-o!
