Chapter 186 - 186: Snow Tornado
It's precisely because of Murkrow's selfless spirit that, even though he isn't the strongest on the team, he has earned the respect of all the Pokémon, becoming the undisputed "big brother" of the group.
Murkrow took the lead in comforting Gastly, urging him to absorb the energy without worries. Slowpoke and Sneasel, of course, didn't fall behind, also offering their support as they looked at the approaching Zubat with a smile that hinted at a touch of cruelty.
Among the crowd of Zubat, a few Golbat were hiding, occasionally letting out cries that seemed to coordinate the many Zubat to attack.
Cain let out a cold laugh. "A bunch of trash thinks that quantity matters? Just what we needed to gain more experience."
Both Zubat and Golbat are Poison- and Flying-type Pokémon. Slowpoke, with his Psychic type, has an advantage over Poison types, while Sneasel's Ice type is effective against Flying types.
These two would be the main attackers, while Murkrow would handle support and eliminate any that managed to escape.
"Slowpoke, use Confusion freely. Sneasel, Icy Wind, freeze them up first. Murkrow, use Gust to help Sneasel with his Icy Wind."
In front of the crowd of Zubat, at least a hundred strong, the tunnel was so full that any attack would hit several at once.
That's why the Golbat hid among the Zubat, hoping they would absorb the first impact before intervening.
