# 0_0 'Scuse me! Got a minute?
You look like you know
a lot about Pokémon.
Could you use your knowledge
to help me out?
# 0_1 Hey, thanks!
Here's what I'm wondering about.
Usually, Ground-type moves can't hit
a Pokémon with the Levitate Ability.
But I'm sure there's some way to do it.
I just can't for the life of me\f
figure out how...
I have several ideas, but
I can't decide which one to try.
That's why I want to get
your opinion on the matter!
# 0_2 Oh... Well, can't be helped.
If you change your mind,
I'd still like to pick your brain...
# 0_3 First, I'd like some advice about items.
I want to use Trick or Switcheroo
to give an item to a Pokémon that\f
has the Levitate Ability so I can\f
hit it with Ground-type moves!
After considering which item to give,
I thought the Iron Ball might work.\f
I'm not sure, though...
What do you think?
Is the Iron Ball a good idea?
# 0_4 Yes
# 0_5 Sure
# 0_6 Sounds Good
# 0_7 Oh! I knew it!
Hearing you say it makes
me feel much more confident!
Passing the Iron Ball to a
Pokémon with Levitate\f
means Ground-type moves can hit it!
Thanks!
# 0_8 I'd like to pick your brain again.
Is that OK?
# 0_9 I'd like to get your advice on moves.
If I use a certain move on a Pokémon
with the Levitate Ability, and then\f
use a Ground-type move on it,\f
I think that could work.
Which move should I choose:
Smack Down, Gravity, or Gastro Acid?
# 0_10 Smack Down
# 0_11 Gravity
# 0_12 Gastro Acid
# 0_13 I see! Smack Down!
That move will knock a Flying-type
Pokémon or a Pokémon with Levitate\f
out of the air, so Ground-type moves\f
will work on it!
So if I use Smack Down and then use
a Ground-type move...
I get it now!
Thanks!
# 0_14 I see! Gravity!
The move Gravity makes gravity stronger,
so Ground-type moves will work on\f
Pokémon with the Levitate Ability or\f
Flying-type Pokémon.
So if I use Gravity and then use
a Ground-type move...
I get it now!
Thanks!
# 0_15 I see! Gastro Acid!
That's right--Gastro Acid eliminates the
effects of Abilities.
That means Levitate won't work anymore!
So if I use Gastro Acid and then use
a Ground-type move...
I get it now!
Thanks!
# 0_16 Finally, I'd like a little advice
about Abilities.
Apparently, some Abilities will let you
hit Pokémon that have Levitate\f
with Ground-type moves!
But...
I'm not sure which one to use!
Mold Breaker, Teravolt, and Turboblaze
all seem like good choices...
I'm close, but I can't decide.
Hey! Please decide for me!
# 0_17 Mold Breaker
# 0_18 Teravolt
# 0_19 Turboblaze
# 0_20 So it's Mold Breaker, then?
I guess that's right.
Mold Breaker lets you use moves\f
regardless of the target's Ability!
Levitate won't matter, so you can land
hit after hit with Ground-type moves!
Mold Breaker's so cool!
Viva Mold Breaker!
# 0_21 So it's Teravolt, then?!
I guess that's right.
Teravolt lets you use moves\f
regardless of the target's Ability!
Levitate won't matter, so you can land
hit after hit with Ground-type moves!
Teravolt's so cool!
Viva Teravolt!
# 0_22 So it's Turboblaze, then?!
I guess that's right.
Turboblaze lets you use moves\f
regardless of the target's Ability!
Levitate won't matter, so you can land
hit after hit with Ground-type moves!
Turboblaze is so cool!
Viva Turboblaze!
# 0_23 Thanks! Because of you,
I'm prepared for Levitate!
And I'm even more prepared
for anti-Levitate tactics!
Heh heh heh...
Now, no matter which Pokémon I face,
victory is assured for my\f
levitating Pokémon!
# 0_24 Well! Do you dare battle my
invincible Pokémon with Levitate?
# 0_25 Hmm...
I thought I was completely
prepared for anti-Levitate tactics...
In real battles, things never
go as well as you would think.
Or maybe you're just that good!
# 0_26 If you want to battle, come talk
to me again! I'll take you on anytime!
# 0_27 We increased the number of Trainers'
Schools to meet the demands of\f
Trainers who want to know\f
more about Pokémon because they\f
love them!
# 0_28 Pokémon have mysterious powers
called Abilities.
Some work even when the Pokémon
is not in battle.
For example, when a Pokémon with the
Suction Cups or Sticky Hold Ability is at\f
the front of your party, you're more\f
likely to get a bite when fishing!
# 0_29 The Wide Lens and Zoom Lens are very
similar. Here's the difference.
The Wide Lens boosts accuracy by 10%!
The Zoom Lens boosts accuracy by 20%,
but only if the holder moves after\f
the target.
That means the Zoom Lens is best for
slower Pokémon!
# 0_30 Would you like to take a simple quiz?
# 0_31 So here is the question:
Which of the following Berries
cures confusion?
# 0_32 Persim Berry
# 0_33 Aspear Berry
# 0_34 Pecha Berry
# 0_35 Ding ding ding!
Right answer!
Now for the next question.
# 0_36 OK! The move Swagger raises the target's
Attack, but it also causes which\f
status condition?
# 0_37 Asleep
# 0_38 Flinch
# 0_39 Confused
# 0_40 Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
Fantastic answer!
Here's a prize for you!
# 0_41 Here's a combo you can use in a
Double Battle!
Have one of your Pokémon hold a
Persim Berry.
Then, have the other one use Swagger
on that Pokémon.
Its Attack will go up, and the Berry will
heal the confusion immediately.\f
Then it can hit the opponent harder!
There are many possible combinations
in Double Battle!
# 0_42 Come talk to me if you want
to take a quiz.
# 0_43 Buzzzzz!
Too bad... That's incorrect.
Please try again sometime!
# 0_44 The blackboard explains Pokémon
status changes in battle.
# 0_45 What do you want to read about?
# 0_46 If poisoned, a Pokémon steadily loses HP
when battling.
The poison lingers after the battle.
To cure it, use an Antidote.
# 0_47 Paralysis reduces the Speed stat
and may prevent movement.
It remains after battle, so use a
Parlyz Heal.
# 0_48 If a Pokémon falls asleep,
it will be unable to attack.
The Pokémon may wake up on its own,
but if a battle ends while it is sleeping,\f
it will stay asleep.
Wake it up using an Awakening.
# 0_49 A burn reduces the Attack stat and
steadily reduces the victim's HP.
A burn lingers after battle.
Cure a burn using a Burn Heal.
# 0_50 If a Pokémon is frozen, it becomes
completely helpless.
The Pokémon may thaw out on its own,
but if a battle ends while it is frozen,\f
it will stay frozen.
Thaw it out using an Ice Heal.
