Although Torkoal had withdrawn into its shell and suffered little damage thanks to its protection, Stone Edge still knocked its entire body into the air.
Precisely because Xia You understood it, he knew that Torkoal had both offense and defense in this state. Not only did it have a hard shell for protection, but it also had Rapid Spin. He absolutely could not approach it of his own accord!

Not daring to enter the sandstorm recklessly, Flannery could only attack from a distance and try to force Tyranitar out.
But the battlefield was large, after all, and she could only have Torkoal attack the spot where Tyranitar had just been standing. Xia You had naturally anticipated this and had already made Tyranitar change positions as the sandstorm concealed it.
