The Scizor at the peak of the near-Elite Four level is only one step away from becoming an Elite Four member. Shen Tianyu's strength is much greater than Zhang Jiadong from Yangcheng University in their previous battle.

Chongqing University truly deserves its reputation as a strong team in the Southwest region of the university league.

Scizor is the only Pokémon whose base stats do not increase after evolution.

It's just a change in attributes and form; although the abilities remain the same, the evolved Scizor is relatively stronger.

What makes it strong?

Its strength lies in its attributes.

Scyther is a Bug/Flying type, which makes it weak to various common types. However, after evolving into Scizor, it has only one weakness: a 4x weakness to Fire. All other advantages are its strengths.

It has strong resistance to normal, insect, poison, steel, grass, psychic, ice, dragon, and fairy.

Fighting, flying, ground, rock, water, and electric attacks only deal one-time normal damage to Scizor.

The combination of Bug and Steel attributes is simply too powerful.

It is precisely because of such excellent attributes that Qin Ming's roommate, Chen Junliang, is so persistent in saving money to evolve his Scyther.

However, Scizor is not without its weaknesses. After evolving, its Speed ​​stat drops significantly. Also, like Scyther, Scizor is a pure physical attacker.

If it cannot engage in close combat, or is pulled back by its opponent, its combat power will be greatly reduced.

Qin Ming shifted his attention away from his opponent and quickly threw out a Poké Ball, releasing his starter Pokémon.

"Luca~!!!"

"Luca~!!!"

After a flash of red light, the dashing Lucario stood proudly on the battlefield. Upon entering the fray, Lucario instinctively placed his hands in front of his chest, assuming a fighting stance.

Both sides tacitly released their initial Pokémon to fight.

"hehe!"

When Shen Tianyu saw Qin Ming also release his starter Pokémon to battle, he felt closer to Qin Ming because of their mutual understanding.

However, at this moment, he was very clear about his stance when fighting Shen Tianyu. Despite feeling close to him, he was truly ruthless in his attacks: "Big Red, use the metal claws!!"

Da Hong is the nickname Shen Tianyu gave to the Scizor.

"Giant Claws~!!!"

The scyther's thin, cicada-like wings flapped rapidly behind it, accelerating its rapid swing of its massive pincers, adorned with intimidating patterns.

Qin Ming also launched an attack without hesitation: "Dog, metal claws!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario took a heavy step and launched himself forward, using his iron fist to meet the opponent's giant pincers.

Clang! !

Clang! !

The iron fist and the giant pincers collided, immediately producing dazzling sparks.

The two Steel-type Pokémon used Steel-type moves, but both were resistant to them, resulting in a fierce collision with little real change. Instead, both Pokémon were forced back by the impact of their opponent's attack.

When one move failed, Shen Tianyu prepared to continue his relentless attack: "Big Red, keep chasing with the metal claws!!"

"Giant Claws~!!!"

The scythe immediately flapped its wings and launched a rapid pursuit.

This time, Qin Ming didn't fight head-on with his opponent: "Dog, use your explosive power to attack the opponent's path of movement, then take the opportunity to create distance!"

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario rapidly and continuously threw energy blasts at the ground. Because it didn't need to aim, the speed of condensing and throwing was extremely fast.

boom! !

boom! !

boom! !

Like a barrage of cannonballs, the explosions repeatedly blasted up the ground, sending clumps of mud flying and blurring the vision of the charging scyther, causing it to lose sight of its target.

As the mud settled, Lucario used its speed to quickly retreat to the edge of the battlefield.

"Dog, use meditation!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario, who had retreated to the side, continuously activated its Aura to increase the speed at which it condensed energy.

"The Scizor's weakness is obvious. It is better at using its giant pincers to crush its opponents, and its energy attacks are relatively weak."

"At the same time, it is relatively slow, so it is easy for the opponent to pull it back."

"Once a tug-of-war ensues, the Scizor will be at a disadvantage."

The on-site commentator provided a responsible analysis of the situation on the battlefield: "Moreover, Qin Ming's Lucario has a certain advantage in terms of type. The Steel/Fighting Lucario has good resistance to both Bug and Steel-type moves."

"Conversely, Scizor, being a Steel-type Pokémon, is also very resistant to Lucario's Steel-type moves, but Fighting moves can deal double the damage."

As a starter Pokémon, Shen Tianyu knew Scizor's weaknesses very well, and he also understood that Qin Ming was using Scizor's weaknesses to his advantage: "Red, use Quick Attack to speed up, then follow up with Metal Claw!!"

"Giant Claws~!!!"

Arcs of electricity crackled across the scyther's body, instantly propelling it to its maximum speed as it rapidly swung its massive pincers in attack.

Qin Ming's eyes narrowed, and he issued the attack command: "Dog, wave missile!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario unleashed two powerful, energy-concentrated attacks with both hands at the oncoming Scizor.

boom! !

boom! !

The wave missile accurately hit the Scizor, unleashing a tremendous roar. The Scizor, clad in crimson armor, emerged from the smoke of the explosion and then launched an attack with its massive pincers.

Clang! !

The collision of metals easily sparked a flame.

Both attacks landed successfully, but the Scizor was clearly more severely injured.

"Qin Ming, you're a real pain in the neck!!"

"I definitely need to get Da Hong to expand her skill pool later!!"

Shen Tianyu mentally complained before immediately launching an attack. He couldn't let Lucario create any more distance, or he'd get hit by another wave of missiles for no reason: "Red, Quick Attack + Metal Claw!!"

The Steel-type Metal Claw doesn't do much damage to Lucario, but for Shen Tianyu's Scizor, this move is currently the one that can deal the most damage to Lucario.

Scizor has a relatively narrow move pool, mostly consisting of Bug, Steel, Normal, and Dark types.

There are also moves that can counter Lucario, such as the Fighting-type move Brick Break, which Lucario can also learn.

Unfortunately, this is not a skill that can be learned simply by leveling up; it requires further learning to master.

The lack of skills limits Scizor's effectiveness.

"Giant Claws~!!!"

"Giant Claws~!!!"

The Scizor's body crackled with electricity once more, rapidly increasing its speed to its maximum before launching a metallic assault.

Faced with the opponent's attack, Qin Ming calmly issued the order, just as before: "Dog, wave missile!"

"Luca~!!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario once again attacked from both sides, quickly throwing two Aura Missiles that hit their opponent.

boom! !

boom! !

Clang! !

The result of the two Pokémon colliding was the same as before: Lucario, which used Calm Mind to boost its damage, dealt more damage to Scizor than Scizor dealt to Lucario.

The two consecutive attacks were not very effective, leaving Shen Tianyu feeling helpless.

Shen Tianyu only hesitated briefly during the battle, and Qin Ming seized the opportunity to unleash his power: "Dog, continue meditating!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario rapidly circulates the Aura within its body, quickly activating its cells and further enhancing its energy accumulation speed and Special Attack.

Lucario, the Steel Fighter, has always been portrayed as a steel warrior, skilled at using attacks to destroy his opponent's defenses.

In fact, Lucario's special attack ability is stronger than its physical attack ability.

"Oh no, Qin Ming's reaction was incredibly fast!!"

Shen Tianyu was filled with frustration. He had hesitated for a moment, which had given Qin Ming an opportunity. Now it was too late to attack. He made up his mind and shouted, "Big Red, use Sword Dance!!"

"Giant Claws~!!!"
