Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

While Koga was still discussing Perish Song tactics with the Ghost experts, he suddenly received a message from Lance.

"Any advice on item and move combinations for Dragonite?"

Koga really wanted to say that Lance, as one of the strongest Dragon Tamers, actually needed to ask others about move and item combinations...?

But on second thought, Lance's Dragonites all seemed to have a four-attack configuration!

Another classic, fitting the 'standard build' mentality of most trainers in this world!

Brute force is always an unchanging truth in Pokémon battles, so sometimes, if you can't think of any tactics, you might as well train your Pokémon well. Then, like Ash, you can become a reverse-type master and show off your bond.

The Pokémon of the Elite Four are far stronger than those of ordinary trainers, which makes them focus more on training. Although they also have unique tactics, they still have areas they haven't learned, depending on their personalities.

For example, Lance is too superstitious about using Hyper Beam to blast people.

Even the Elite Four are like this, let alone ordinary working trainers like Kirie. Koga understood everything.

Million Master Ball level in the game, but most trainers in reality are actually noobs. No one is better than anyone else!

After all, real Pokémon training and move sets involve many issues, consuming a lot of effort and time, and requiring trial and error, which is completely different from the data in the game.

Being able to come up with a unique tactic already makes you a somewhat famous trainer. If you have unique insights in the field of tactics, then you are an expert.

"...Since you asked, I can indeed provide some matching suggestions, but some items I have here are temporarily lacking materials. I can only try to make them after the purchased goods arrive."

Koga replied while sending some move, ability, and item configurations.

"For a Dragonite with the ability Multiscale, if it's a single battle, it can carry a Sitrus Berry, Leftovers, Rocky Helmet, etc."

"In terms of move combinations, the usual can be seen... No, Dragonite isn't exactly a usual Pokémon. Let me just briefly classify it."

"Most Dragon Tamers believe that dragons are sacred and powerful creatures, so they will choose violent output. After learning Dragon Dance, the power of Dragon Pokémon will be strengthened. Dragon Dance-type violent dragons can use Outrage + Dragon Dance + Extreme Speed + Earthquake to deal high damage in limited-4 official matches..."

"However, Dragonite has a wide move pool. Abandoning the violent output method, sometimes using a quality-based stall dragon play style can unexpectedly defeat powerful enemies!"

Dragonite can learn many moves. It can do anything except be a trainer!

No... Koga thought for a moment.

Maybe it can be a trainer!

"Again, let's take the limited-4 official match as an example."

"In terms of move combinations, it can either use Air Slash + Roost + Thunder Wave + Encore to disgust the opponent, or it can use Wide Guard or Draco Meteor, then Roost + Fire Spin + Encore."

"Use Fire Spin to trap the opponent, Roost to ensure your own life, and Encore to lock the opponent's moves, while the Rocky Helmet deals fixed damage..."

Koga paused here.

The Rocky Helmet did appear in the anime world. I wonder if the Rocky Helmet I made has the fixed damage effect of the game.

In short, the essence of this tactic is to torment the opponent with Wide Guard and Rocky Helmet.

I'll try to forge it using forging techniques later. I should be able to make the Rocky Helmet?

I should need materials from Rock-type Pokémon.

"For a Dragonite with the ability Inner Focus, if it's a double battle, you can choose Choice Band, and the move set can include Ice Spinner."

"Inner Focus can prevent Intimidate and Fake Out, Ice Spinner can destroy the field, and Choice Band further enhances Dragonite's output ability, although it has the side effect of locking moves... Of course, this item is not yet available, so stay tuned for its release."

"But I do have the move Ice Spinner here. You can buy it if you need it. This is a move that can't be seen in Kanto and Johto!"

After all, recommending these move sets and teams is conducive to customers buying my products, and some products are only produced here!

"At the same time, facing Fairy and Ice-type Pokémon, you can also carry Steel-type moves to counterattack!"

In the old generation, Dragonite could learn the Steel-type Three Musketeers: Iron Head, Iron Tail, and Steel Wing. However, the problem is that the Steel-type Three Musketeers are all melee moves, so it may not be easy to approach long-range special attackers! But this is also a common problem with Steel-type moves. There are not many long-range moves.

However, with the training methods of the Elite Four level, perhaps Iron Head can be trained to an incredible degree!

In the anime, the most outrageous Iron Head should be Registeel of Pyramid King Brandon in the Battle Frontier. One Iron Head gave it the momentum of a Meteor Assault, with Steel-type energy covering its body, and it just charged!

Of course, Dragonite can also use Loaded Dice + Dragon Dance and Scale Shot, but I don't have the Scale Shot TM. As for how to make Loaded Dice... I don't know if I can figure it out from the mechanical learning documents given by Cyrus.

Koga suddenly thought of something!

"However, if the opponent also bought my product, is carrying a Focus Sash, and is a special Fairy + Ghost or Ice + Ghost Pokémon, then Dragonite's proud Extreme Speed may be useless..."

"Therefore, in the choice of priority moves, in addition to Extreme Speed, you can also choose Aqua Jet! This can ensure victory in battles with these special Pokémon! But Aqua Jet is an Egg Move for the Dragonite family, so it's a bit troublesome to use..."

"As for unlimited matches, Dragonites who have mastered these moves will only be more disgusting!"

There is only one thing to be especially careful about: the opponent may become angry and launch a real-life battle... But with Lance's street fighting skills, he probably isn't afraid of real-life battles.

After all, he is the ancestor of using Hyper Beam to blast people. I believe he can bring endless surprises to enemy trainers in street fighting!

So, this is the third time I've done battle consultation...

Koga thought for a moment.

Giving battle consultation, or going a step further, getting good rankings in online battles, can also have the effect of promoting the workshop's products.

Different teams and tactics require different items.

Speaking of which, I just considered that real Pokémon and data Pokémon are different, but in this world, there seem to be some "data stream software" used to improve theoretical knowledge!

This type of data-investigating trainer has appeared more than once in the anime world.

"Perhaps I should also occasionally try online matching. It seems there is such a battle software."

Koga did a simple search. He hadn't paid attention to it before, but now he knows as soon as he searches.

It is a virtual battle software developed by the Battle Company in the Unova region!

This company is a well-known company in Unova. In the game world, it is a leading researcher of battle items and assists in the development and upgrading of items such as Poké Balls.

In the current reality, one of the company's main tasks is to conduct research through battles and aims to involve people all over the world in virtual battles!

Through virtual battles, the trial and error cost of Pokémon battles can be greatly reduced, which is more like a simulation.

The same concept has actually started in other regions long ago. For example, the Global Link Terminal, which connects trainers from all regions, is located in Goldenrod City in the Johto region!

Koga searched for the virtual battle software and looked at its name... "Pokémon Battle", a very straightforward name.

Koga simply registered an account, and the homepage was blank. But after thinking about it, he added a sentence:

"Welcome to follow Traveler's Workshop."

Considering the network speed, the Johto region's network is faster!

On the other side.

Lance, who was secretly sending private messages to Koga using his PokéGear, was stroking his chin with a thoughtful expression, quite surprised!

His Dragonites all had a four-attack (four output moves) configuration, and basically used power to forcibly conquer opponents. Occasionally, he would use Hyper Beam to bombard Team Rocket grunts. In Lance's heart, Dragonite was the embodiment of power!

However, it turns out that in battle, Dragonite can also become very cunning!

"Hmm! Although these tactics are not suitable for my fighting style, if I am targeted, taking out these tactics will definitely turn the tide in key games!"

"Hmph hmph, no one will think that I will use this kind of tactics. It's good to play some unexpected games occasionally, right? But some adjustments are needed to put it into practice!"

Theory is theory, and practice is practice, but with mature theory, plus an excellent trainer, a very powerful tactic can be completed!

"I really didn't expect that I would just ask casually, and the shopkeeper could come up with so many unique suggestions. His knowledge of Pokémon battles is also quite profound.! Also, without rich battle experience, it is impossible to make those items suitable for battle!"

"He wasn't a well-known trainer in Sinnoh before, was he? I haven't heard of him... But some masters don't like to show their faces, just like the elders of our Dragon's Den. I can understand this!"

"But, there are many items in these suggestions that I haven't heard of. What is Choice Band, what is Rocky Helmet? Leftovers is oh, this is sold in the store!"

"So that's the effect! I see, I understand completely!"

Lance saved this message, and when his younger sister Clair finished picking out the goods and looked at him, Lance immediately returned to his arrogant state.

My sister still has a lot to learn in terms of battle!

Let's hone her theoretical level in the battle software first!

关都地区，七之岛，第四岛.

Kona didn't expect Koga to accept battle consultations, but thinking that the special items he made were originally used for battles, she immediately understood the meaning of Koga's behavior!

Providing tactical advice and promoting items by the way!

"Shadow Tag Perish Song, some powerful routines, and quite practical!"

Natsu's inquiry made Kona sink into contemplation, mainly because her main attack direction was Ice-type, and Perish Song was just a supplementary tactic for her to surprise opponents.

However, at least I am an expert in this area, directly asking how to defeat this tactic... I always feel a little subtle!

Speaking of which, there is no need to be so serious just for the Gym assessment.

"If the other party uses interesting tactics, but I can't deal with it, this battle will become meaningless."

Natsu replied like this, although the message sent was just simple text, Kona vaguely felt a little excitement in it?

Natsu is not so enthusiastic about fighting.

She actually looks forward to it so much?

"Using Ghost-type Pokémon can ignore the Shadow Tag ability. Although I don't know much about the Shadow Tag ability, I know that the effect caused by that ability and Mean Look is similar. In the professors' papers, this state is called unable to escape."

"The best way to break Perish Song is of course 【Taunt】! But pay attention to the timing of using this move!"

"Also, the latest research shows that Ghost-type Pokémon do not seem to fall into a state of being unable to escape. You can consider borrowing a powerful Ghost Pokémon."

"And, Pokémon with the Soundproof ability seem to be able to block the effect of Perish Song."

Although Natsu is a Gym Leader specializing in Psychic-type, it is no problem to train another Ghost Pokémon and temporarily join the assessment!

However, in reality, a trainer who is proficient in one type is already very powerful. Temporarily using other types of Pokémon that he is not familiar with will inevitably affect his strength.

Some things you can't learn just by seeing them!

Command, cooperation, reaction, improvisation, move power, timing of attack, observation, the state of the elves, the distribution of physical strength, and even... Kizuna!

Even the most effective "dodge quickly" is actually not something that all trainers can perfectly command. In most cases, the elves are confused and then become "unable to dodge" and are directly defeated.

And now, there are more... "Items"!

As for most multi-type trainers... either they are champion masters, or they are passers-by, the upper limit is very high, and the lower limit is also very low!

Kona adjusted her glasses, the lenses reflected light, and the corners of her mouth raised a dangerous smile!

At this time, she thought that it must be very cool to use this tactic to fight Lance!
