Chapter 240: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [240]
Even if the opponent doesn't switch Pokémon, any Pokémon that touches the invisible rocks floating in mid-air will take damage.
Sudowoodo successfully used Stealth Rock, but in doing so, it completely lost its chance to evade the incoming Twister.
Whoosh!
The Twister not only broke apart the sand created by Sand Tomb, but it also swept the debris into its vortex, forming a swirling "sandstorm."
Although Twister, a Dragon-type move, didn't have a type advantage against Sudowoodo's Rock typing, it targeted Sudowoodo's weak Special Defense as a special attack.
Caught in the vortex, Sudowoodo was spun like laundry in a washing machine, tossed about until it cried out in pain.
"Ka—thunk!"
Sudowoodo crashed to the ground with a resounding thud.
Yet, despite this setback, Ryuji wasn't despondent.
The field, now littered with Stealth Rock, presented a significant obstacle for Gabite, which relied on its speed to outmaneuver Sudowoodo.
If Gabite so much as grazed one of the explosive invisible rocks, it would learn the true meaning of pain.
