Chapter 95: Tell Us About It
“Try! Tell us!”
Hearing Li Wei’s words, not only did Tian Bai become interested, but the group of partners around also became very interested.
As Pokémon Family Scions, they were full of confidence in their own knowledge reserves and family research.
Now Li Wei dared to say ‘no one uses it,’ which really piqued their curiosity.
Whether it was exaggerated nonsense or well-founded theoretical paper talk, they were all very curious!
“It’s Whimsicott, and I also call it Blackheart Cotton.”
Li Wei didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated the Pokémon he recommended.
“Whimsicott??”
Zhou Fengjue frowned and repeated.
“If I remember correctly, Whimsicott is that clump of white cotton with two leaves grown on it… are you sure??”
In the real world without ‘full Pokédex,’ ‘full skill list,’ and ‘stats’ for them to reference in research, the most basic way to judge if a Pokémon is strong lies in body strength and skill strength.
This inevitably leads to many support skills not being discovered because they can’t be assessed, and thus many routines remain buried to this day.
After all, in reality, perhaps only Pokémon scientists would study a little cotton ball like that intently?
Even though the world and Pokémon have long fused together, everyone’s definition of Whimsicott and Whimsicott stops at something similar to Mareep — ‘shearing wool.’
Whimsicott is often raised on farms as the purest labor force, and when they are happy, they can be used to push windmills.
Even power plants wouldn’t hire these little guys who frequently shed fur and love pranks.
So, Whimsicott lives very freely in the wild and secret realms of this world. Among trainers, aside from noble ladies and certain trainers who like ‘cute’ Pokémon, basically no trainers nurture it.
In terms of offensive strength, the powerful skills Whimsicott can learn, as recognized in this world, include Moonblast, Hurricane, Solar Beam, etc., but these skills aren’t unique; as long as the attribute matches, learning them doesn’t have too high a threshold.
And a petite Pokémon that loves drifting everywhere is seen by many ‘strength-type’ trainers as not impressive enough and lacking stability.
At this time, wouldn’t raising a Venusaur be better? For Fairy-type Pokémon, wouldn’t raising a long-haired giant troll lack a sense of strength? If you really want something powerful, strong, and good-looking in Fairy-type, isn’t Witch the top choice??
Such ideas have kept Whimsicott perpetually on the bench, never getting up.
Accepting elite, ambitious, native people educated with lessons from predecessors’ experiences, Tian Bai, Mo Jiu, and the others never even considered this little Whimsicott as a Pokémon worth considering.
“Can you explain in detail for us?”
Rarely, Mo Jiu spoke first and asked.
Having referenced Li Wei’s Riolu training method and achieved significant effects, Mo Jiu trusted Li Wei’s judgment. She believed this person wouldn’t say strange things about Pokémon nurturing, so at this moment she had already taken out the small notebook she carried with her, ready to jot down Li Wei’s theories and insights.
‘This… might help Ralts.’
Her Ralts’ condition was very unusual. Thinking back to when she first met it, Mo Jiu couldn’t help but feel a bit troubled…
‘Sigh, if there’s still no way, should I ask him… I really feel like he might have a solution…
But even Grandmother doesn’t know what to do…
‘No, now’s not the time to think about this.’
Mo Jiu shook its head, pinched the Morpeko that had been diligently munching nuts beside it twice, picked up the pen, stared at Li Wei, and thought of nothing else.
“Whimsicott’s nurturing cycle is very short; in fact, if you want, it can fully evolve in a month, and the resources invested are even much less than for Beedrill.
Its offensive power isn’t very prominent in the Whimsicott stage, but it’s not bad either. However, most of the skills it can comprehend are Grass-type Skills, so actually I don’t recommend it much.
Now most trainers focus Whimsicott training on Grass-type Skills, which in my view is a huge mistake; they are completely wasting Whimsicott’s talent.”
Li Wei explained straightforwardly.
“Hm? Is there a problem with Grass-type nurturing? But Whimsicott’s attributes are Grass and Fairy; do you mean to focus on Fairy-type energy nurturing?”
Mo Jiu asked.
“No, what is Whimsicott’s evolution? Called Whimsicott, right?”
“Mm.”
Facing Li Wei’s question, everyone nodded.
“Why is it called Whimsicott!
Its true nurturing method is written clearly in the ID!
If I remember correctly, this name was given by the Zhonghua Family’s ancestor! Ancestor’s naming is all wisdom!!
Actually, a while ago when I was checking data, I was shocked too. Why hasn’t anyone here ever had this idea?
It’s called Whimsicott, so it must have unique talent for wind!!!
It can be sent to farms to blow windmills, but not to the competition venue to give Pokémon Tailwind???”
At this point, Li Wei couldn’t help but feel a bit Collapse.
But thinking about it made him feel relieved.
He had always viewed the Pokémon World from a God’s perspective. Even after transmigrating and being immersed, he had the bug of 52poke and eighth-generation game routine experience.
His way of viewing Pokémon battles definitely differed from these natives.
After all, if not for Whimsicott’s exaggerated immediate mastery of the skill list after evolution, perhaps no one would have tinkered with developing it in the fifth generation.
“Based on my observation and research, Whimsicott awakens super high understanding of Flying-type after evolution, stronger countless times than some Flying-type Pokémon’s control over ‘wind’!
It’s just that no one has specifically developed it!
Through training, or seizing the opportunity for targeted treatment in the Whimsicott period and directly starting Flying-type training, I guarantee Whimsicott’s strength after evolution won’t disappoint you.
Tailwind and Gust these two skills are sure to be mastered, and if training is thorough, mastering Hurricane isn’t impossible!!
Isn’t this way more reliable than Moonblast???”
As Li Wei spoke passionately, everyone’s eyes lit up.
This… was indeed something they had never considered.
Generally, there are only three reasons for non-innate attribute energy training.
First, to prevent being targeted by counter attributes.
Second, third attribute from awakening power.
Third, bloodline genetics, innately powerful in that attribute, like Dragon-type.
For a Pokémon like Whimsicott, which doesn’t have Dragon-type, has fundamentally unstrong stats, has sometimes uncontrollable sole Speed attribute, and is fragile, really few people would research it…
For a moment, after understanding what Li Wei said, everyone’s expression toward Li Wei changed.
Suddenly, Yu Yixian asked Li Wei.
Normally, as a normal male trainer, would he think so much strange stuff staring at such a cute little Whimsicott??
