Chapter 173 - 173: The Power of Knowledge
"Kadabra, use Kinesis."
Kinesis is a move exclusive to Kadabra and Alakazam. By bending its spoon, it can captivate the opponent's attention and, at the same time, lower their accuracy.
Azure's strategy was correct: given that his opponent was trying to increase speed and attack power, if he managed to reduce the enemy's accuracy, their attacks would miss, nullifying the benefits gained from those two moves.
This method is effective against most Pokémon.
However, upon hearing the command, Cain smiled slightly, and a hint of mockery appeared in his dark eyes.
Azure's choice to use this move revealed that he didn't fully understand Sneasel or its ability.
Sneasel can have three possible abilities, and one of them is Keen Eye. Pokémon with this ability cannot have their accuracy reduced by any means, and any attempt to raise evasion against a Pokémon with Keen Eye will also have no effect.
Since his opponent was unaware of this ability, Cain saw no reason to correct him.
With a smile on his face, Cain continued, "Sneasel, keep using Agility, then Hone Claws."
Azure was surprised to hear Cain's command, thinking he was trying to compete in stacking buffs.
After all, the additional effects of Agility and Hone Claws are superior to those of Kinesis.
