"Why?!" As the scarred man roared, the scar on his face twisted. He probably couldn't understand why Froakie was completely fine when that attack should have dealt serious damage.
The answer lay in Froakie's Ability-
"Don't get it? Then let me explain, idiot. My Froakie's Ability is Protean. It changes the user's type to match the move it uses. In other words, after using Grass Knot, Froakie became a Grass-type.

But why would I give you such important information for free?
Unharmed, Mimikyu used Thunder Wave on the Rattata in front of him. A
