Chapter 280 - 280: Ten Consecutive Wins
After experiencing the control of internal toxins, Skorupi quickly charged toward Nosepass. Although he encountered several invisible rocks along the way, which limited his speed, he was still fast enough to stay out of Nosepass's reach.
"Nosepass, Thunder Wave!" ordered Tank, allowing Nosepass to use an Electric-type move for the first time.
In Tank's view, after using Harden multiple times, Nosepass already had enough physical defense to withstand Skorupi's attacks.
An electromagnetic orb appeared in front of Nosepass, forming and swiftly heading toward Skorupi.
But could Nosepass really hit Skorupi with his attack speed?
Skorupi approached at high speed, his tail glowing a dark purple hue.
The move Poison Tail has a higher chance of landing critical hits compared to other normal moves, and combined with Skorupi's ability, Sniper, it results in considerable damage even against a Pokémon with resistance to poison.
With the poison status dealing damage every turn and Skorupi's repeated Poison Tail attacks, the poison quickly accumulated, making it so that Nosepass, despite his double resistance, couldn't withstand it.
"Nosepass, use Rest quickly!" Tank shouted upon seeing his Nosepass become an easy target. Though he had prepared his strategy, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Cain smiled coldly, already expecting Nosepass to use Rest to buy time, relying on his high physical defense and resistances to gradually wear down Skorupi's energy.
"Skorupi, Taunt!"
