Chapter 72 - Analysis of Strength

"It's very simple." Fang Yuan smiled and said, "It's analyzed from the Pokémon's basic qualities and the degree of mastery of moves."

Liu Le and Lin Jing both put down their chopsticks, looked at Fang Yuan, and waited for his explanation.

"Well... this is a set of evaluation criteria I summarized myself, it may not be suitable for you, but I can tell you about it."

"First of all, I divide the basic qualities of Pokémon into several levels, here I will temporarily use unqualified, ordinary, and outstanding to represent them."

"Let's take your Snorlax, Liu Le, as an example."

"Its reaction speed, movement speed, and coordination ability are definitely unqualified, and only its stamina and physical strength are passable."

"In addition, its use of moves is also very ordinary. If it cannot make up for these shortcomings through moves, Snorlax is very easily targeted by opponents."

"However, Snorlax is not without any advantages. As I said before, its stamina and physical strength are relatively outstanding among most contestants."

"So, overall, it is no problem for Snorlax to deal with some inexperienced opponents, but if it wants to fight against those Seed Players, its shortcomings are too obvious."

Liu Le scratched his head helplessly and looked at Snorlax. These are Snorlax's natural weaknesses, and it is impossible to overcome them perfectly in two months.

"In the end, it still masters too few moves... Snorlax is not a Pokémon that relies on speed to fight. When it learns more moves, it can make up for its shortcomings through different moves. After that, its strength can be truly brought into play," Fang Yuan said.

"Then my Growlithe..." Lin Jing asked.

"It's trained very comprehensively, but in other words, it can also be said to be very ordinary and mediocre. Although it has no shortcomings, Growlithe doesn't have any advantages that can determine the outcome except for its good explosive power."

The Growlithe that has been trained in the Police Dog Training Camp follows the same route as Eevee, which is comprehensive development.

However, in addition to these, Eevee has also undergone Ability and skill training, which Growlithe has not done.

Eevee's stamina, physical strength, and explosive power have been qualified after a period of training, so they will not become shortcomings.

And the movement speed brought by the proficiently mastered Quick Attack and body coordination is where it is outstanding.

But this is not the main reason why Eevee can win the championship.

Because from these data, Eevee can only be on par with Growlithe. Eevee's real advantage lies in two other aspects.

Its reaction speed, after strict training and the blessing of its Ability, has exceeded the scope of outstanding, and is extremely excellent. Among the Rookie Trainers participating in the competition, no one's Pokémon's reaction speed can exceed Eevee's.

This excellent reaction speed gives it a strong battle awareness, which is the main reason why Eevee can easily crush opponents in battle.

Also... Eevee's use of the Sand Attack move, because of the Counter Shield training, is not just as simple as using it proficiently.

It can be said that Eevee is quite proficient in the Sand Attack move and has used its own style.

However, as a Normal-type Pokémon, if there are no other adventures, I am afraid that Eevee's attainments in Sand Attack will stop here.

Therefore, for basic qualities, Fang Yuan's classification is unqualified, ordinary, outstanding, excellent...

And for the degree of mastery of moves, Fang Yuan's classification is grasp, proficient, mastery...

Grasp means just learning the move and being able to use it in a regular manner, like Eevee's Bite and Double Team.

Proficient refers to the Pokémon having undergone a lot of training and battle experience with this move.

At this level, the Pokémon can simply change the move and use it very easily, such as Eevee's Quick Attack.

As for mastery, it requires the accumulation of long-term experience accompanied by a certain amount of talent, or special training methods.

At this level of mastery, a Pokémon can already use moves at will, easily control the power of the moves, and change the form of the moves, such as Eevee's Sand Attack Version of Counter Shield.

Of course, this classification is not over yet, but for Fang Yuan, these classifications are not something he can achieve in a short time.

Therefore, if Fang Yuan wants to make Eevee's strength even better next, in addition to letting it master new moves, it is extremely important to improve its proficiency in existing moves.

Of course, basic quality training cannot be neglected, but this requires a long period of accumulation, and the more it goes on, the more time it takes, which is far less magical than moves, which can quickly improve a Pokémon's strength.

After Fang Yuan's simple description, Liu Le and Lin Jing were already dizzy.

There was too much information, and it was a bit messy to express, so the two of them might not have understood it very well.

"Let's eat!"

Fang Yuan shrugged.

At this time, Snorlax had swept away a table of dishes, and Eevee was not willing to fall behind, determined to compete with Snorlax in food consumption, but the ending should not be difficult to predict, it would lose miserably.

...

After dinner, it was almost time for school.

The afternoon's courses were not much different from the morning's.

For Fang Yuan, such a day was inevitably a bit inefficient.

Because Eevee spent most of its time in the Poké Ball, this time was equivalent to being completely wasted for Eevee.

Fang Yuan felt that this was not okay.

This precious time cannot be wasted in vain.

Even letting Eevee play with its phone on the side would be more meaningful than keeping it in the Poké Ball, purely because his Eevee is different from other people's Pokémon, it can learn moves on its own.

As long as he coaxes it properly, Eevee's self-awareness is unusually strong.

So all afternoon, Fang Yuan was thinking about whether there was a safe solution.

Putting Eevee at home during school hours is definitely not possible, because at the latest in a week, there will be Pokémon training sessions and Pokémon battles in outdoor classes.

It is necessary to find a way to bring Eevee to school and give Eevee enough space to move around.

In the end, he really found it.

The activity room of the Psychology Club, except for the members of the Psychology Club, basically no one goes there, and only he and Teacher Li have the key. During indoor classes, if he puts Eevee alone in that classroom and arranges some tasks for it, wouldn't that perfectly solve the problem?

When it's time for outdoor classes that require training with Pokémon, he can take Eevee away during class breaks, so that neither side is delayed.

"As long as Eevee is honest, it shouldn't be discovered."

"This idea is great."

"I just don't know if the indoor class time of a semester will be enough for Eevee to figure out how to use Substitute..."

Fang Yuan fell into thought.
