I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

PS: The newbie village will be out of the next chapter.

NO.73?! Are you kidding me?! I'm going to throw up!

"Because of the combination of these two properties, it can be immune to the more popular ground and electric properties in the environment."

"In addition, its Special Defense stat is similar to Nidoqueen's, so you can train its Special Defense to use it as a defensive shield."

"And what I've brought today is the defensive-oriented Shield Scorpion King. Without further ado, let's get straight to the combo."

"First of all, you have to be careful when choosing the nature of Gliscor. It is common knowledge that a Pokémon's stats can be changed by its nature."

"Just like the Cautious nature, it increases Special Defense and decreases Special Attack, and Special Attack is exactly what Gliscor doesn't need."

"Then we give it a Poison Orb, which is similar to the Flame Orb, as viewers who have watched my Radamanthys videos know."

"Bringing this item is definitely to trigger a Pokémon's ability, and what ability of Gliscor can be paired with Toxic Orb?"

"The answer is poison therapy, which is a relatively rare feature, because as far as I know, only the Scorpion King, Mushroom, and Breloom have it."

"The effect of this ability is that when a Pokémon is poisoned, its HP will not decrease over time, but will instead recover 1/8 of its maximum HP."

"Wow, this combination of properties and the Poison Orb is even more potent than leftovers. Of course, the Orb will only take effect after a period of time."

"So, just like with Radamanthys, we need to equip Scorpion with Protect to prevent the opponent from using Knock Off or Thief moves that disable the held item."

"If you're poisoned, your Gliscor has already won half the battle. High durability and constant healing, how can there be such a cool Pokémon?"

"As the saying goes, survival is the prerequisite for output. Now that the Scorpion King's poison healing ability is taking effect, it's time for us to attack."

"The Scorpion King has a rich skill set, including Fire Rock, Earthquake, Insect, Poison, and Flight, giving it a wide variety of offensive options."

"Therefore, this child has more room to perform in battles outside of Master Duels, since there is no restriction on four skills."

"And in a master duel, he can still make his opponent feel tricky, because you have to guess which four skills the opponent will bring to Scorpion King."

"However, this time I'm mainly talking about the Shield Scorpion King, so my moveset focuses more on disruption and support, and there are many options for that."

"I chose Poison + Substitute. Since we've already brought Protect, we can also play a classic tactic of Substitute Protect Poison."

"The poison inflicts a poison status on the opponent, causing their HP to drop continuously. Before the opponent's HP bar reaches zero, we use other moves to dodge attacks."

"Hold on, I don't need to say more. Substitute, anyone who knows anything about ninjas should know this, create a substitute to block the attack for yourself."

"Using this move will consume 1/4 of the Pokémon's maximum HP, but that's when the Poison Heal ability comes into play."

"For example, if you lose a quarter of your health and use a substitute to block an opponent's attack, poison healing will restore one-eighth of it at that time."

"Then the opponent will launch another attack, but at this time you can use defense if the opponent does not use feints or similar moves."

"So you can get one-eighth of the HP without losing any HP, and your HP will be fully restored. Then you can use the Substitute again."

"This perfectly solves the problem of not being able to use the defensive ability continuously. By repeating this process, the opponent will eventually be worn down by the poison."

"As long as the user has the patience, this strategy can defeat most Pokémon, and the small portion are Pokémon that are not easily poisoned."

"For example, the Steel type is immune to the Poison type, so apart from Toxic Substitute, we can bring a STAB offensive move, which is Earthquake."

"Ground type is extremely effective against Steel type, and having an offensive move also allows you to anticipate the opponent's Taunt."

"We use offensive moves when the opponent might use provocation, so even if the opponent succeeds in provoking us, we will still suffer some damage."

"Then, we can also choose to keep the Pokémon on the field or switch it out based on the effectiveness of the offensive moves."

"Besides replacing the poison, we can also turn Scorpion King into a pure support character, constantly creating favorable situations for our team."

"For example, holding Knock Off is a very powerful move in the current environment where trainers equip their Pokémon with items, because it is a Dark-type move."

"So it can also severely damage the highly functional super-powered ghost attribute, and then the quicksand abyss."

"If the opponent tries to switch Pokémon because they don't want to face their own Gliscor, then you can use Gliscor's STAB move Sandstorm."

"This move can not only damage the opponent, but also keep them in a bound state for a long time."

"If you don't have the escape ability, are carrying a smoke bomb, or can follow up with moves like U-turn or Quick Turn, then don't even think about escaping."

"Simply put, it's the Pokémon you decide to keep on the opponent's field, but the accuracy of this move is rather poor."

"If you're aiming for accuracy, you can use Taunt Stealth Rock. Taunt can make the opponent's support Pokémon uncomfortable, and Gliscor is also quite fast."

"Just like Spikes, Stealth Rock can deal fixed damage to the Pokémon that has been swapped out, and this damage is also affected by the Rock type."

"Simply put, this is the episode that Fire and Flying type Pokémon love the most, because both types will take super effective damage when hit by Stealth Rock."

"If a Charizard or Volcarona comes out with a Stealth Rock, its health bar will immediately drop to a very dangerous position."

"If you feel that the healing power of the Poison Healing Orb is not enough, then we can equip the Scorpion King with the Feather Perch."

"This move can restore half of its own HP, so it's only natural that a Flying-type Pokémon would have this move."

"And this move can also make it lose its flight attribute to resist ice attribute moves, so that ice attribute moves will deal four times the damage to it when it flies on the ground."

"This is Gliscor's weakness, although Ice-type Pokémon can generally only be obtained in extremely cold places."

"But many Pokémon know Ice-type moves, especially Water-type moves. The best example is Starmie, which has high speed and high Special Attack."

"Therefore, when using Gliscor, we also need to use other Pokémon for coordinated defense, given that Mr. Giovanni is good at Ground-type Pokémon."

"So I can recommend Water/Ground type Pokémon, although this will make them four times weaker to Grass type Pokémon."

"But Ground-type Pokémon can still compete with Grass-type Pokémon for the right to attack, and Nidoking can effectively counter Grass-type Pokémon."

"Of course, this is Gliscor's explanation, so it would be impolite to mention other Pokémon. That's all for my understanding. Goodbye, everyone."

Yang Xiying's new video ended abruptly, and the viewers who were watching her share these ideas were already turning green with envy.

The Poison Healing Scorpion King, carrying a highly poisonous orb, possesses a combination of poison, Substitute, Protect, and any offensive move... It's like witnessing a new world.

Are you kidding me?! I feel like throwing up!

PS: Gliscor's biggest drawback is that its four moves are not enough and it is four times weak to Ice, but it is really fun to use against Pokémon of other types besides Ice.

P.S.: I've said so much already, there's more to come.

NO.74 Reactions, Casual Chats, and Development Diary...

In fact, humans in the Pokémon world are quite simple and honest, which is easily reflected in Pokémon battles.

Like Yu-Gi-Oh! Souls players who enjoy battling big monsters, their battles are straightforward and they generally tend to be aggressive.

Even the use of hypnotic powder and paralyzing powder is all for offensive purposes; they have developed offensive tactics to a new level.

Defense is a relatively niche type of game because the battle mode is too cowardly and would damage its own majestic image.

The main reason is that they are not malicious; it's already good enough that they can organize joint defenses. So seeing Yang Xiying's new video makes me think they need to use their brains.

[Holy crap, Substitute Protects against Toxic... Just hearing about that makes me want to vomit, even using it on a regular Pokémon would be disgusting!]

[And what's more, it's the Poison Healing Scorpion King! No! Poison Healing isn't actually an exclusive ability of the Mushroom/Phyllostachys?!]

[...So who exactly is this Scorpio King? The name does have a similar format to Scorpio, though.]

[Because Gliscor is the evolved form of Gliscor. Oh, you might not know this, but Gliscor was only recently discovered in the Sinnoh region.]

[Give Gliscor a Sharp Fang and let it evolve at night. Once people know this evolution method, there will probably be more Gliscor in other regions.]

[Got it, I'll go catch it right away. I happen to be in the Johto region! Even if it means using a rare special medicated plaster, I'll make sure to convert it into poison healing!]

[So, Teacher Pigeon is explaining a completely new Pokémon! And this is on a completely different level from the ones Teacher Pigeon has explained before!]

What happened to the promised low-spec version?!

[But the only Ground/Flying type is Gliscor and Gliscor, so Breloom with the Poison Heal ability wouldn't meet Giovanni's requirements.]

[But Breloom isn't exactly a low-tier version of Gliscor, considering its Grass/Fighting type, and I always felt it was better suited for the High-Tech ability.]

[Its HP, defense, and special defense are all lower than Gliscor's; its only highlight is its high attack power. And speaking of mushrooms, why doesn't it produce mushroom spores?]

Is this move exclusive to Paras and Paraster? That's ridiculous! A weak Pokémon getting a god-tier move...

[Mushroom spores with a 100% hit rate are truly amazing...]

[...Actually, the hooded mushroom can produce mushroom spores.]

【Huh?! Really? Holy crap! Teacher Ge appeared in the comments section!】Netizens went wild upon discovering Teacher Ge's presence in the comments section.

[I'll release a video about the Breath of the Mushroom once I've finished it.]

Yang Xiying typed a reply with a subtle expression. No wonder he had never seen a mushroom made from mushroom spores on television in this world...

So you didn't know?!

Mushroom spores have the same effect as hypnotic powder, putting opponents into a deep sleep, and the hit rate is a remarkable 100%.

So it's a very useful move, but only mushroom-type Pokémon can use it; Breloom is an exception.

To master mushroom spores, it must learn them during its pre-evolutionary mushroom stage, which requires the mushroom to reach level 40.

If in the Ruby and Sapphire era, Mushrooms needed to be level 52 to learn Mushroom Spore, so it's understandable why they didn't know it.

Mushrooms can evolve into Brelooms at level 23. People in this world treat evolution like buying a game, the sooner you get it, the sooner you can enjoy it.

Moreover, Mushroom learns to use mushroom spores a bit late, and most people don't have the time to wait. In this respect, it's not as good as Oolong or Sleepy Mushroom.

Even if they evolve, they can still learn to produce mushroom spores, and Yang Xiying prefers the Aiya Mushroom to the Hat Mushroom.

—Because it and its evolved form look just as honest and simple as itself.

As for Gliscor, it's really already a low-tier Pokémon; of course, there aren't usually any high-tier ones.

Yang Xiying added that if we're talking about high-end configurations, then it's the Land Cloud, which also has the combined attributes of ground and flight.

However, this thing is a legendary Pokémon, and the two are used very differently, so Gliscor is still a unique Pokémon.

What if we exclude the general case?

Don't argue with me. My knowledge of Pokémon is limited; the only Ground/Flying type Pokémon I know is Gliscor.

After responding to a few comments in the comment section, Yang Xiying turned her attention to her private chat with Sakaki.

My video was first shown to this patron on the Bogaman platform, and they became friends.

[That's a very good explanation. Now I might consider breeding a few new Ground-type Pokémon.]

This was his first assessment of the Scorpion King video, which surprised Yang Xiying.

[So, Mr. Giovanni hasn't trained a Pokémon like Gliscor yet?]

[Hehe, it's quite an honor to be so highly regarded by Teacher Ge. Gliscor is a Pokémon that I only recently discovered to have evolved in Sinnoh.]

[Moreover, training Pokémon is not an easy task,] Giovanni quickly replied.

[Because of this, many people prefer to train Pokémon of the same type and attribute, like me, who likes Ground-type Pokémon and imposing Mighty Pokémon.]

"People really do have all sorts of preferences," Yang Xiying typed in response. Although it was surprising that Sakaki liked monsters, she could understand it.

After all, everyone has their own unique XP. Just like in Yu-Gi-Oh!, his only favorite deck is Xyz Striker.

He's not that particular about Pokémon; unlike Pokémon trainers who keep birds, he's more of a philanthropist.

I also acknowledge Giovanni's aesthetic sense regarding Pokémon; the Pokémon he owns, whether it's Nidoking or Rhyperior, have the beauty of tokusatsu monsters.

[So, Teacher Pigeon, what kind of Pokémon do you like?] Giovanni sent another message, and Yang Xiying replied instantly.

[Strong and cool, but if it's strong enough, I can tolerate it not being cool,] like the long-haired troll, the Fiery Roaring Tiger...
