Trickery, this move is for adding special attack, but the final evolved form of Fire Spot Meow, Blazing Roaring Tiger, is better at physical attacks.
However, it is good to have a trick, which can effectively prevent the fire-spotted cat from being too weak when facing opponents with too high physical defense.
Catch, spark, cry, lick, stare, trick.
Before evolution, the output damage of Trickery + Spark was still very considerable.
And currently, it seems that the trick is almost instantaneous to use, which is much more convenient than Dragon Dance, which requires a certain amount of time to be strengthened by dancing.
If you are fighting against each other, you can have the fire-spotted cat use tricks to strengthen itself immediately at the beginning, and then use moves such as barking to coordinate with the sparks to attack.
Thinking of this, Lin Wu couldn't wait to let Huobanmao try to fight.
He looked around and happened to see Kenta and Haoli passing by not far away.
Lin Wu quickly stopped them and asked them to fight.
Hearing this, Kenta and Haoli looked at the fire-spotted cat, somewhat surprised: "Are you going outside to capture Pokémon?"
"No." Lin Wu shook his head: "This is the Pokémon that my master gave me to take care of."
Hearing this, Kenta understood clearly. He saw that this junior brother wanted to fight, so he walked to the opposite side of the field and said with a smile:
"Since you are using Firecatcher, I will also use another Pokémon that I have just conquered to fight you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kenta threw the Poké Ball, and a bad frog immediately appeared on the battlefield.
"Huobanmao, do you still remember what I just said to you?" Lin Wu asked.
The fire-spotted cat on the field turned back and nodded at him.
"Then let's give it a try! Our first battle!" Lin Wu said with a smile.
"Meow."
The fire-spotted cat meowed calmly, then turned its head and looked at the bad frog opposite.
The battle officially begins.
With the change in the eyes of the fire-spotted cat, the trick was successful and at the same time, it let out a lovely cry.
The bad frog was frightened by the appearance of the fire-spotted cat, and suddenly heard this cute cry, and its expression couldn't help but become dazed.
Looking at this scene, Lin Wu thought: "The characteristic of Fire Spot Cat is intimidation?"
Judging from the bad frog's reaction, it probably is.
If you follow the rules of the game and add threats and calls, the bad frog's attack will be reduced by two levels at the beginning.
"Bad frog! Cheer up!" Kenta finally gave the command: "Use Mud Throw!"
Hearing the trainer's voice, Bad Frog finally came to his senses. It shook its head, and the energy of the ground attribute quickly condensed into a piece of mud in its hands, and threw it towards Fire Spot Cat.
"Can it be avoided?" When Lin Wu asked this question, Huobanmao jumped quickly and avoided the mud throw.
"It seems that there is not much time for nonsense in the battle." Lin Wu decided to simplify his language: "Spark!"
Kenta also issued a new instruction at the same time: "Throw mud again!"
A small ball of flame and a piece of mud immediately flew out of Fire Spot Cat's mouth and Bad Frog's hand.
However, due to the different angles of attack of the two Pokémon, Fire and Mud passed each other high and low, hitting each other.
The soft mud covered Fire Spot Cat's face, turning it into a little tabby cat with a muddy face, and the sparks also hit the bad frog.
But that seemingly weak spark caused a painful expression on Bad Frog's face.
The skin on its body is affected by temperature and becomes dry.
Characteristics The damage caused by dry skin made the bad frog sit on the ground, losing its ability to fight.
"Ah? Did I lose so quickly this time?" Kenta was a little confused.
"Because the bad frog's characteristic is dry skin, the flames of the fire-spotted cat triggered its characteristic, causing it to suffer damage other than sparks."
At this time, a voice came from the side.
Lin Wu and Kenta turned their heads and saw Ma Shide appearing there at some unknown time.
"Master!" the two shouted.
"And, if I guess correctly, before using that spark, Huobanmao used a trick, right?" Ma Shide looked at Lin Wu and asked.
Lin Wu nodded.
Ma Shide grinned and said: "What a wonderful battle. It seems that the relationship between you and Fire Spot Cat has deepened!"
Lin Wu lowered his head and looked at the fire-spotted cat. After hearing this, the fire-spotted cat also looked up at him.
Lin Wu smiled softly.
"Meow~"
Ma Shide looked at Kenta again and said to him: "Go and treat the bad frog!"
"yes!"
Kenta responded, turned around and ran away.
Ma Shide looked at Lin Wu who was hesitant to speak and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
"Eh? How did you know?" Lin Wu was a little surprised.
Master Ma smiled and said, "Because your thoughts are written on your face!"
Lin Wu scratched his head in embarrassment, and then took advantage of Master Ma not playing games to ask the question in his mind.
"Master, have you ever been unable to command the Pokémon in time during the battle?"
As we all know, the transmission of sound and the reaction of Pokémon on the field take time. Sometimes, even if the trainer gives instructions, the Pokémon may not be able to respond due to various reasons.
This situation is especially noticeable in battles with Fighting-type Pokémon.
The two Fighting-type Pokémon fought without stopping. They were punching and kicking to resist the opponent's attacks almost every moment, and the trainer had no time to give any instructions.
Hearing this, Ma Shide immediately understood the meaning. He smiled and asked: "So, what do you think is a trainer?"
"Trainer..." Lin Wu thought for a while and replied: "A person who trains Pokémon and directs them to fight?"
"Yes, but not entirely."
Ma Shide looked at the martial arts bear masters, Fire Spot Meow and Doron Mecia beside him, and slowly explained:
"Battles in the novice stage are completely different from those at higher levels."
"In the beginning, the command between new trainers was more like a turn-based system, and the rhythm was very slow, because the Pokémon and the trainers were not familiar with each other, and also because the Pokémon themselves were immature and unable to do so in some fierce battles.
Do two things at once.”
"The higher you go, the faster the pace of the battle. Human language transmission speed is limited and cannot be transmitted in real time, and the opportunity for battle is fleeting."
“So, the trainer at this stage will choose to let the Pokémon fight based on past battle experience, while the trainer himself will observe the situation on the field, find the right time to make key commands, or remind the Pokémon to use
When you perform a certain move, is it defensive or active attack?"
"Of course, some experienced trainers will formulate response tactics for the Pokémon based on the type and attributes of the opponent's Pokémon before the battle begins. When the battle begins, they will direct the Pokémon to implement this strategy based on the opponent.
"
"For example, when the opponent uses the guard move, the Pokémon can use previous battle experience or the tactics developed by the trainer to immediately use multi-stage attack moves to attack at the moment the opponent guards, without the need for the trainer to do it on the spot.
Take command."
"I understand." Lin Wu nodded thoughtfully.
Sure enough, reality is not a game, the battle is not turn-based, and trainers do not have bullet time.
"So, keep practicing hard!" Another smile appeared on Master Ma's face: "Old man, I'm really looking forward to the day when you surpass me and Xiao Dandan!"
After saying that, Master Ma turned and left.
Just when he was approaching the exit, he seemed to suddenly notice something. His half-closed eyes suddenly opened and he raised his head to look at the beam above.
