Chapter 292: Violent air currents: Quiver Dance
As for the finishing move that Terrance devised for Beautifly… it’s based on two moves and a technique.
The moves are Gust and Quiver Dance, while the technique is Beautifly’s mastery over air currents.
To address the issue of Beautifly’s offensive power and considering its own defense, Terrance concluded that improving its speed was the best course of action.
To increase speed and agility, Beautifly’s mastery of Airflow Perception and the strengthening-type moves that enhance its own stats are indispensable.
Just like Altaria’s Dragon Dance, which dramatically strengthened its battle power after using it—though that might be a slight exaggeration—it’s undeniable that strengthening-type moves hold high tactical value for a Pokémon.
However, the common drawback of strengthening-type moves is the time required to prepare them. Essentially, these moves tap into and overdraw the Pokémon’s maximum potential, trading it for a temporary boost in physical attributes.
As the “demand” increases, the difficulty of executing the move also rises.
Moreover, if the move is interrupted midway, all efforts go to waste.
Quiver Dance and Dragon Dance both involve a mysterious dance that awakens and delves into one’s deeper-level abilities. If this process is interrupted in any way, the move will fail.
