Chapter 463 - 462: Rapid Growth in Strength
Slowking and Honchkrow remain the strongest Pokémon on Cain's team for now.
However, the other Pokémon have quickly caught up, as Cain has focused his training efforts on them during this time.
One of the Pokémon Cain has been training is Sneasel, whose level has reached 37.
The improvement rate has been very fast, as the forest is full of Grass-type Pokémon, and under the immense power of Sneasel's Ice-type moves, it has defeated many Pokémon.
Additionally, thanks to the combination of Metal Claw and Ice Punch, Sneasel's damage output is even more remarkable.
The move Metal Claw, infused with Ice-type energy, enhances the effectiveness of its Ice-type attacks.
With Sneasel now at level 37, it has met Cain's expectations. All that's left is for Cain to acquire a Razor Claw so that Sneasel can evolve into Weavile, unlocking its full potential.
Meanwhile, Haunter, who previously served as Cain's guardian, has reached level 35. Figuring out how to evolve Haunter into Gengar remains a dilemma Cain has yet to solve.
Previously, on the Trial Island, if Haunter had stayed in the cave brimming with Ghost-type energy, it might have evolved into Gengar due to the overwhelming Ghost energy there.
However, back then, Haunter didn't meet Cain's requirements. Even now, at level 35, it still falls short. Cain plans to ask Umbra next time they meet since he also has a Gengar and might offer some insight into its evolution.
After all, in his previous life, Cain never had a Gengar.
