Chapter 388 1. Combining Fighting and Magical Types, the Powerful Destructive Force of the Doll Bear
Chapter 388: The powerful destructive force of a Fighting-type Pokémon! What's the use of the "Clumsy" ability?
[The streamer wasn't lying!]
[Dude, you look like a doll, but are you really that violent?]
That's an exaggeration!
At this moment, the barrage of comments was shocked by the immense destructive power displayed by the teddy bear.
The audience at the scene need no further explanation; witnessing the contrast between the teddy bear and the child bear firsthand was a shock that lingered for a long time.
Xiao Xiu and the staff standing nearby were also slightly sweating, because they had actually tried to touch the teddy bear. If Ye Yinchuan hadn't stopped them in time, their arms would have been the ones getting all messed up instead of the mop... It's unimaginable what a terrible sight that would have been!
Ye Yinchuan shrugged, as if to say through gestures, "See? I really didn't lie to you!"
[Host, do you think this teddy bear has the "Hercules" trait? Or is its base stats exceptionally high?]
[She's all pink and cute, could she have superpowers or be a fairy? Speaking of which, Marill is also a fairy, and she's just as cute and strong, right?]
"If I remember correctly, Beari's base stat total is only 340... It's in an evolutionary stage that hasn't fully matured yet. But you've probably heard that the same base stat can have different distributions. For example, some Pokémon are better at Strength, some are better at Special Attacks, and some are stronger... Beari is a typical example of a Pokémon whose base stats are all concentrated in Strength..."
Ye Yinchuan originally wanted to say that the Bear's Attack stat is as high as 75 points, while Charmeleon's Attack stat is 405 points and it only has 64 points. You can imagine how strong Bear's power, or physical destructive power, is!
"On the other hand, while Beardy possesses some Fairy-type potential, overall it's quite weak. Its base type is Normal and Fighting, a dual type. I don't need to elaborate on Fighting; you can all feel it—it's practically synonymous with power and destruction... But some viewers might not realize that Normal types also possess immense power!"
[It's a Normal type? And judging from the streamer's words, Normal is actually the main attribute?]
[To elaborate, I clearly remember this guy saying before that it generally represents the primitive and conventional, so how come it also has immense power?]
"The Normal type encompasses everything, naturally including physical destructive power... Let me give you some simple examples. 'Tackle,' a physical move that almost all Pokémon can master, is a Normal type. Its advanced version, 'Slam,' and even the more powerful 'Dash,' are all Normal type moves... The Normal type represents the primitive, and what is the most primitive thing? It's nothing more than one's own strength, the kind of power that hits hard, head-on!"
[Wow, this is the first time I've heard of such an analysis! That makes sense; the General System is indeed very powerful!]
[The self-sacrificing charge is a super-powerful move with 120 points of damage, no joke... but the side effect seems to be that you will also take damage yourself?]
"Not only that, there's also 'Mega Punch' and 'Mega Kick,' both incredibly powerful moves... They're Normal-type, so Pokémon that can master these moves must be incredibly strong, and Bearpick has great potential in that area!"
"To be more practical, this teddy bear at least knows the move 'super strength.' A teddy bear that has mastered this move can easily knock professional wrestlers away and can easily break large trees..."
Ye Yinchuan wasn't bragging; this performance effect was indeed recorded in the Children's Bear Illustrated Book!
Of course, the specific details may differ slightly!
"If we're talking about psychic abilities, it does have a bit of that. The Doll Bear has a chance to master the moves 'Sleep' and 'Mind Blast,' but as for anything else... we haven't discovered anything yet."
As Ye Yinchuan spoke, he changed the subject again.
"Of course, if there were a psychic-type doll bear with a crystallization attribute, theoretically it should be able to master even more psychic-type moves..."
The teddy bear's own immense strength, combined with its psychic powers, allows it to move at high speeds. Imagine how powerful it would be in reality; it would be practically a demon warrior!
[Really? I thought it was just a casual remark!]
[666, indeed, many Pokémon's attributes and potential are reflected in their skin color!]
I really want to know what characteristics this Pokémon has. Is it a strongman?
"Unfortunately, there isn't a single individual in the Bearkin population with the 'Hercules' trait. If there were, it would be absolutely incredible. Their already formidable strength, combined with this trait... wow, they'd be a one-punch super bear!"
[Amazing One-Punch Bear!]
So, the question is, what is this characteristic?
"Let me put it this way, the characteristics of the Bear generally exist in three forms. The most common are 'fluffy' and 'clumsy,' and there's also a hidden characteristic, which is the same as Milotic's 'charming body'!"
Ye Yinchuan's words sparked a heated discussion in the live chat.
[A captivating body! I can understand, but... why can't people touch this teddy bear? And why does it have to be so cute?! And it even has a succubus-like constitution, huh? Isn't this entrapment?!]
I've heard about the fluffy trait; apparently, it allows the body to use its fur and special energy to mitigate physical damage... but it's very vulnerable to fire!
What is clumsiness? It sounds as humorous as being slow-witted...
Regarding the "charming body" and "hairy appearance," Ye Yinchuan noticed that many viewers had some understanding of them, so he didn't elaborate. The main point was the characteristic of "clumsiness"...
"Some viewers are right, the 'Clumsy' ability is similar to the 'Slow-witted' ability... First of all, this ability will affect the Pokémon's personality to some extent. For example, Pokémon with the 'Slow-witted' ability will be more dull, while Pokémon with the 'Clumsy' ability will easily become clumsy..."
"Additionally, the 'Clumsy' trait has a special effect: it generates a special energy that causes some carried items to lose their intended function!"
[Wait, is this ability purely a negative effect? It affects Pokémon's nature, makes them dumber, and disables held items. Is it an ability or a weakness?]
Okay...it's clear that clumsiness is more humorous than dullness; it wins!
Seeing the comments on this feature in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Because this characteristic is indeed abstract, in the original Pokémon, the "Clumsy" characteristic is described in one sentence: "Cannot use the held item." When Ye Yinchuan first saw this characteristic, his first reaction was similar to that of the audience, wondering, what is the use of this characteristic?
Existence is reasonable.
Although this feature seems rather useless in the game, it actually is... quite useless.
On the other hand, even if something is useless, does that mean it's completely worthless?
Clearly, this feature does have some use, in certain special circumstances...
Speaking of the "clumsy" characteristic, we must mention the move "Trick," a Psychic-type move whose effect is to exchange the held items of both players...
So, if the two are combined, wouldn't the "clumsy" effect be brought into play?
As we all know, some held items have negative effects, while others have positive ones. For example, the "Black Iron Ball" can reduce speed by 50% and cause Flying-type and Levitate-type Pokémon to fall to the ground and take Ground-type damage...
Therefore, as long as you carry the "Black Iron Ball", have the "Clumsy" ability, and use the "Trick" move, you can transfer the negative effects of the item to your opponent without being affected by it... turning the battle into an item battle!
Well... no matter how you look at it, the usage conditions are too harsh.
Conversely, when the opponent possesses a "trick" move and tries to swap a negative item for you, your "clumsy" trait allows you to ignore the negative item the opponent swaps with...
Here comes the most crucial point: they both have the "Clumsy" ability, but Lopunny has the "Switch" move and Heartbat has the "Trick" move, both of which allow them to switch held items. Theoretically, this should allow the "Clumsy" ability to be used effectively...
But what does your teddy bear have?
The only skill related to carrying items, "throwing," is unusable due to its "clumsy" nature...
At least in Ye Yinchuan's memory, he couldn't have imagined that the "clumsy" characteristics of the teddy bear could produce any amazing effects!
Of course, all of the above discussion is limited to the game settings!
In the current Pokémon world, there is an even more serious problem: held items are extremely rare. It's difficult to obtain even ordinary held items, let alone held items with negative effects...
To think that tactics should revolve around what one carries is a completely unrealistic idea for ordinary people.
As for the "Throw" move, Ye Yinchuan didn't believe that even if the "Clumsy" Bear could use it, it would be difficult to use it well and hit the target effectively given its clumsy nature...
But then again!
There were no "magic tricks," no "switches," and no "throwing"...
Does the "clumsy" trait really serve any purpose other than passive defense?
Of course not!
This trait is useful as long as you can get a portable item with a negative effect, because according to Ye Yinchuan's understanding of portable items in this world, some portable items have a range effect!
In other words, theoretically, there exists a type of portable item that has an area-of-effect effect; as long as the target is nearby, both the target and surrounding units will be affected by the portable item...
The clumsy bear, however, is able to ignore this effect...
In this way, the balance of power shifts, allowing for a significant advantage in battle!
Of course, there are some details that need to be noted...
For example, can the "Clumsy" ability completely negate the negative effects of the item it carries, or is it that when the item is strong enough, the ability may not be effective, or the ability may need further training...?
Problems like these!
When Ye Yinchuan shared his thoughts on tactics related to the "clumsy" characteristic with the audience, it naturally sparked another heated discussion!
【No way, are you really a genius, streamer?】
[Items with the ability to affect a wide area... those things could be called cursed items, right?]
[Alright, alright, there are probably no useless Pokémon in this world, only useless trainers!]
[Is that comment from the speaker guy upstairs?]
[How dare they question the Speaker Hero!]
[That's pure nonsense. Unless the streamer raises a clumsy Pokémon himself and then demonstrates its effectiveness, I won't believe a word of it!]
Seeing the last comment questioning him, Ye Yinchuan's lips curled into a slight smile, and he said with absolute confidence:
Unfortunately, this teddy bear's defining characteristic is its clumsiness.
The implication is clear: he intends to cultivate this teddy bear and put his theories into practice, responding forcefully to those who questioned him!
[6. Speaking of which, Bearbear is so powerful, even if this ability is a drawback, it's still a strong Pokémon, right?]
The teddy bear looks very youthful; perhaps it's a type that can still evolve?
[No way! It's already this powerful before evolving; what will it be like after evolving?]
"Of course, the teddy bear can evolve; there's no doubt about that!"
Ye Yinchuan's decisive action against the railway should have been attributed to the fact that some trainers had witnessed their evolved forms in the wild and could easily identify them as Pokémon from the same family.
Just as Ye Yinchuan revealed this information, someone in the live chat had already posted the image—
[Could it be this? Now that you mention it, it does look somewhat similar, though the size difference is quite significant!]
[The pink bear-type Pokémon possesses immense strength; there's almost no doubt about it!]
Wow...it looks like it's two meters tall! It's both cute and intimidating, what's going on?
[I've heard that some trainers have seen it practicing fighting techniques in the forest. Its technique is absolutely perfect; one punch can shatter a large rock, and a hug can crush a person's bones... Where does that sense of oppression come from?]
"Yes, this Pokémon is called Bewear, which is the evolved form of Bearpup."
Ye Yinchuan could immediately tell that the source of the images posted in the comments was the person wearing a bear...
Clearly, while teddy bears and bear-wearing animals exist in this world, they are extremely rare, and very few trainers have successfully captured them...
This is understandable, since Bewear is very powerful, and the more powerful and dangerous a Pokémon is, the more difficult it is to catch.
[I heard there's a famous Fighting-type trainer, who's also a martial artist, who came into contact with a Bewear and got hugged by it. He's currently in the hospital with broken bones all over his body. It's only because he's incredibly strong that he survived; otherwise, he would have been dead on the spot!]
[Hiss... You can't even easily get close to a teddy bear, let alone someone dressed as a bear!]
However, if you could catch such a Pokémon, especially if you raised it properly from a young age, battling would be incredibly rewarding!
[Host, could you tell us more about the bear-wearing character?]
Seeing the high level of enthusiasm for the bear costume in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan nodded in agreement:
"BearCard is a very powerful Pokémon, sharing the same type as Bearpup. Its strength is undeniable; it's even more powerful than Bearpup... Like Bearpup, it's a cute-looking but actually very dangerous Pokémon. Remember, they are bear-type Pokémon, and encountering them in the wild is extremely dangerous!"
"Next, I'm going to talk about the differences between a bear costume and a teddy bear costume..."
