Three days later, it was Saturday. Everyone began to look forward to the weekly skills learning class, which was also the first skills learning class of the training camp.
The move learning class was mainly divided into two parts. The first part taught moves in simple terms, while the second focused on how to use these moves in actual combat.
During yesterday's class, Nina informed everyone that the move to be taught in today's move learning class would be Dragon Breath, and asked everyone to preview and prepare.
[Dragon Breath]: A Dragon-type special attack move that blows a strong breath toward the enemy to attack, sometimes paralyzing the opponent.
Dragon Breath is a fairly standard move among many Dragon-type moves. It isn't particularly powerful, but it's certainly not ordinary either. At the same time, Dragon Breath is also a classic special move for Dragon-type Pokémon. Not only can most Dragon-type Pokémon learn it, but even non-Dragon-type Pokémon like Charizard, Steelix, Aerodactyl, Sceptile, and Milotic can learn it.
However, it's unfortunate that in the game, the Dragon-type Pokémon Noivern cannot learn Dragon Breath, which is a small disappointment for Jacob.
But reality could be different, and Jacob wasn't certain whether Noivern in the real world could learn the Dragon Breath move.
On the training ground today, Nina had changed into a new outfit. The Chanel-style combination perfectly complemented her tall figure, making her incredibly beautiful. At 25 years old, she was at the peak of beauty for a woman, combining the youthfulness of her student days with the charm of a mature woman.
The Pokémon beside Nina had also changed, from Noivern to the pseudo-legendary Pokémon Kommo-o. Even so, many students' eyes remained fixed on Nina rather than on the Kommo-o beside her.
Kommo-o is a pseudo-legendary Pokémon of the seventh generation. Its appearance isn't particularly impressive. The arms of Kommo-o are covered with scaly armor. Most of its body is gray, with a small tooth-like spike on each side of its upper and lower jaws. Its top is covered with a fine arrangement of scales. It walks upright and has numerous scales on its tail and head.
The appearance of Kommo-o isn't particularly favored by the mainstream public. Additionally, its typing is quite unique, being Dragon and Fighting type. It's the only Pokémon with Dragon and Fighting typing besides the ninth-generation legendary Pokémon Koraidon.
This type combination isn't particularly outstanding. It's weak to Flying, Psychic, Ice, and Dragon types. At the same time, it also has a devastating 4x weakness to Fairy-type moves.
Ever since Fairy-type Pokémon appeared, those that suffered the most weren't the Dragon-types, but the Fighting-types. A large number of Fighting-type Pokémon were beaten into obscurity, and only a few Fighting-type Pokémon, such as Lucario and Hawlucha, still maintained the glory of Fighting-type Pokémon.
Fighting-type Pokémon were already in such a miserable state, let alone Pokémon like Kommo-o with its Dragon and Fighting typing, which is completely vulnerable to a 4x weakness against Fairy-type moves. This also means that Kommo-o essentially has no chance when facing Fairy-types.
Due to its typing and appearance, Kommo-o's appearance rate and popularity in the game have always been low, and it has long been ranked last among all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
But is Kommo-o really weak? Quite the contrary. If you set aside its 4x weakness to Fairy-type moves, Kommo-o is actually very powerful.
Let's look at three of its moves first. Its exclusive move Clanging Scales is a Dragon-type special attack move with a power of 110 and a high accuracy rate. The drawback is that it reduces the user's Defense by one stage.
The move Clangorous Soul sacrifices one-third of the user's HP and increases all its stats by one stage. To be honest, such a powerful move is quite extraordinary.
Finally, let's look at Clangorous Soulblaze, which is generally a special move with a power of up to 185 and a high accuracy rate, without any side effects.
If these three awesome moves were given to other special attacker Pokémon, they would become instantly formidable.
These three moves make Kommo-o quite powerful. Of course, while Kommo-o might not be very strong in the game, it is remarkably powerful in reality.
You have to understand that the game is turn-based, and Kommo-o's base Speed stat of 85 isn't particularly fast, which might cause it to be defeated instantly by Fairy-types in a single turn. However, reality is different. There's no such thing as base stats in the real world.
In reality, Kommo-o is not only very fast, but it also possesses the skills and reflexes of a Fighting-type Pokémon, which allows it to shine among pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
Moreover, reality isn't like a game. Not only can Pokémon dodge moves, but as their strength increases, it becomes difficult for Pokémon of equal strength to be defeated instantly in battle.
Therefore, as long as Kommo-o uses Clangorous Soul once, all its abilities will directly increase by one stage. If it's used a second time, all its abilities will increase by two stages, which is equivalent to doubling its abilities. At this point, Kommo-o is very likely to achieve a team-sweeping level of performance.
Maximus is able to become one of the Heavenly Kings in the China region, and one of his ace Pokémon is the Kommo-o.
As Maximus's daughter, Nina naturally has a Kommo-o with amazing strength and aptitude. Nina's Kommo-o is currently at the Quasi-King level, but it can already battle with ordinary King-level Pokémon without losing, and is only one step away from reaching King level. Such an achievement at her age would be unimaginable in the Frosthollow Province, but it's quite reasonable in the Capital.
You have to know that my brother became a Quasi-King-level trainer in Frosthollow Province at the age of 25, and he was known as the youngest Quasi-King-level trainer in Frosthollow Province. Compared with Nina, the gap between the two isn't small.
Also a Quasi-King-level trainer at 25 years old, Asher in his prime was definitely not a match for Nina.
"Dragon Breath is an important basic move for Dragon-type Pokémon. Mastering it will be very helpful for learning more powerful Dragon-type moves in the future," said Nina, who was dressed beautifully and wore high heels today. Her height was almost the same as Jacob's. Her face was serious as she explained the Dragon Breath move in detail to all the students. Whenever she talked about Dragon-type Pokémon, her eyes always shone with brilliance. "The Dragon Breath move is very simple. It involves exhaling a breath containing Dragon-type energy from the mouth. It's still very useful in battle. Even when your strength reaches the Gym Leader level in the future, the additional paralysis effect of Dragon Breath remains very effective."
"The use of the Dragon Breath move isn't complicated. I'll have Kommo-o demonstrate it for you first."
Nina gently touched the scales of the Kommo-o beside her, signaling it to demonstrate the Dragon Breath move to everyone.
Jacob also shifted his gaze from Nina to Kommo-o. This was the first time Jacob had seen a real, living Kommo-o. The Kommo-o took a deep breath, and its cheeks swelled up instantly. Then it spewed out red dragon breath from its mouth, with amazing power.
So strong!
Is this what a Quasi-King level pseudo-legendary is capable of? Why does it feel like this isn't just Dragon Breath, but rather Draco Meteor?
After Nina had Kommo-o demonstrate once, she continued to explain to everyone: "This move isn't actually complicated. The key is to use Dragon-type energy. You need to transform the Dragon energy in your body into dragon breath and store it in your abdomen. The higher the affinity with Dragon energy, the easier it will be to learn this move."
"Everyone try to practice with your own Pokémon first, and then I'll guide each of you in turn."
