The invincible Urshifu had fallen.
Watching the scene on the screen, Leon was even more stunned than its actual "Trainer," Mustard.
Weathering Dragapult's attacks, Alolan Muk had accomplished its god-slaying feat with nothing more than one plain old [Toxic] and three [Knock Offs].
Even though it was only a game, Leon still needed a few seconds to process the shock.
So had it been a misplay?
Leon thought back over the battle and ruled out that possibility.

After all, he couldn't play armchair Oranguru afterward and say, "Their evasion boosts might as well not have existed. We would've won ages ago if we'd focused Muk."
What if Iono had simply been unlucky, and every attack aimed at Muk had missed?
And once the battle became a four-on-one with an overwhelming advantage, it made even less sense.
Xia Chi's predictions had been so accurate that it was as if he'd turned on a "Mind Reading" cheat. Urshifu had clearly been the harder threat to handle, yet Muk had kept going after it.
But if they'd used moves like [Dragon Darts] or [Draco Meteor] right then, would they definitely have been able to focus Muk down?

And Dragon Rush was a Crushing Move.
Or he could've brought [Taunt] to counter stat boosts, [Dragon Tail] to force a switch, or a guaranteed-hit-
