The Swamp Monster did as instructed.
A water cannon shot out from its mouth.
Under sunny skies, the power of water-type moves will decrease. The current goal is to see if carrying a Cooling Crystal can block the effects of sunny skies, but the range of the Cooling Crystal is limited.
The water cannon is indeed very powerful when it is first launched, but once it leaves the area covered by the cooling ice crystals, it will be affected by the sunny weather.
"Can not be done!"
Bai Hong's thinking was too simplistic.
Swampert carries cooling ice crystals, which at most make it cooler, but it cannot completely block the effects of sunny weather when using water-type moves.
Big Monster, Little Monster, and Strange Monster watched the spectacle from the sidelines. Bao Bao's injuries had almost healed, and he was hiding behind Strange Monster.
The Ice Dragon family built an ice cave above Dragon Valley Ranch, while the big monster and the little monster built a rock cave below Dragon Valley Ranch, using very conspicuous orange rocks that were very similar to the orange horns on their bodies.
Actually, Bai Hong had noticed the cave earlier; the orange color was too conspicuous, so he only had time to go over and investigate it now.
The little monster saw this.
It picked up a rock with its mouth.
I happily handed it to him.
"Is this the stone you made?" Bai Hong took the rock and, after observing it, found that the rock was incredibly hard, and its texture was like a rock core dug out from deep underground.
The little monster shook its head.
Pointing at the big monster with its front paws.
He immediately declared that the rock was created by the giant monster, and even gestured with his two claws for a long time. If Jirachi hadn't floated over yawning, he really wouldn't have known that the rock had dehumidifying properties.
"Dehumidifying rock core?"
He blurted it out immediately.
Chapter 92 Amazing Nest-Building Materials
Stones that can dehumidify.
It is rare.
I never imagined that the Monster Jaw Dragon could create such a stone. It is hard, brightly colored, and feels heavy in your hand.
I originally intended to call it "Dehumidifying Rock," but the words "Dehumidifying Rock Core" inexplicably popped into my mind without any warning.
[Dehumidifying Rock Core: Can nullify the Moisture ability; when attacked by a Water-type move, its power can only be halved once; immune to damage during a sandstorm, and Defense is increased by one stage.]
"so smart?"
He forgot about the super-test.
Having this makes it easy to identify the function of the dehumidifying rock core, without having to go through a lot of trouble to figure it out, which is much more convenient.
Without the help of super-sensory identification, even if one pondered for more than a month, it would probably be impossible to figure out these things. Who would have thought that the seemingly ordinary dehumidifying rock core actually has three functions?
One is to disable the moisture properties.
This is not hard to understand.
Dehumidification is the process of removing moisture.
Pokémon that excel at explosive moves like Self-Destruct or Explosion can use Dehumidify Rock Core to counter opponents with the Humidity ability. Furthermore, Pokémon with the Detonate ability can also use it, making it a 100% compatible choice.
The Moisture ability is specifically designed to counter the Detonate ability. The Detonate ability causes damage to any opponent that comes into contact with you when you are near death, but it is somewhat less effective than Self-Destruct or Big Bang.
Secondly, when attacked by a Water-type move, it can only reduce the power of the move by half once. This is somewhat helpful for Pokémon that are weak to Water, but the help is not much and it can only reduce damage once.
Thirdly, it will not be harmed in a sandstorm. If the holder has Ground, Rock, or Steel type, this effect is negligible. If you really want to put a Pokémon without Ground, Rock, or Steel type into a sandstorm team, you can let it hold a Dehumidifying Rock Core.
The key is to boost defense by one level, which benefits even Ground, Rock, or Steel-type Pokémon. It's equivalent to hardening, making their bodies more robust.
From this perspective, the function of dehumidifying cores seems to be somewhat complicated. Unless you are specifically developing self-destruct or sandstorm tactics, there is no need to buy dehumidifying cores.
"It can be sold as a prop."
Bai Hong pondered the matter thoughtfully.
Although I hate to say it, just the fact that it raises defense by one level is enough to rival Grass Seed and Electric Seed.
It appears to have three functions on the surface, but in reality it has four, making it a tool that combines functionality and defense.
"Are there any dehumidifying rock cores left?"
He turned to ask, but the little monster shook its head, saying that these were the leftovers from building its nest last night, but there were plenty of dehumidifying rocks, which were currently piled up next to the cave.
[Dehumidifying Rock: Can disable moisture-absorbing properties; will not be damaged by sandstorms.]
Compared to dehumidified rock cores.
The dehumidifying effect of rocks is greatly reduced.
But its advantage lies in the large quantity of these things.
"Sell, we can sell them all."
We can always sell it at a lower price.
He then stood up.
Curious, I stepped into the cave.
The big monster and the little monster chose to build their nest below Dragon Valley Ranch, avoiding the Ice and Snow Dragon family. This is the first principle of peaceful coexistence, and they try their best not to interfere with each other.
The cave, built with dehumidifying rock cores and dehumidifying rocks, is quite large. From the outside, there are two entrances, but the interior spaces are almost identical. The big monster and the little monster live together, and the strange monster and the violent monster live together, looking out for each other.
"I didn't expect you to build your nest in just one night. Your efficiency is a bit ridiculous. I was planning to have the cunning tengu build you a wooden shed in a few days, but it seems that I don't need to now."
Materials used to build nests.
It's excellent, no doubt about it.
It is both sturdy and keeps dry.
These amazing nest-building materials are created by them. By launching rock blasts, they can create dehumidifying rocks. When the rock mass solidifies to a certain extent, a rock core will form inside.
Although both the dehumidifying rock and the dehumidifying core are orange, the latter is slightly darker in color and extremely hard in texture.
During the process of creating dehumidifying rocks, the pressure is continuously increased, and there is a 10% chance of obtaining a dehumidifying rock core. The vast majority of dehumidifying rock cores are used to build nests.
"If you have nothing to do in your spare time, could you make some dehumidifying rocks and dehumidifying rock cores? I want to sell them." Bai Hong explained this in case they didn't understand.
These things can be exchanged for money.
Money can buy a lot of food.
When it comes to food...
The little monster licked its lips.
It tasted orange and peach fruits last night and fell in love with them immediately. Although they are wild tree fruits, they tasted amazing, probably because they grow in a secret realm full of primordial energy.
If various tree fruits grow in the wild, the mongodon will eat them because tree fruits are very high in protein and energy.
Snow~
Bingbao ran over.
A cooling ice crystal was held in its mouth.
Since it has no hands, it can only use its mouth to pick up a piece of cooling ice crystal, and it is the largest piece, much larger than the two pieces of cooling ice crystal that Bai Hong took last night.
"For me?"
Bai Hong patted its head.
His tone was exceptionally gentle.
Snow~
Bingbao nodded happily.
She then placed the heavy, cooling ice crystal in her hand, her large, bright eyes sparkling.
[Ice Crystal: When carried, it prevents frostbite; using a normal skill will transform it into an ice-type skill, increasing its power by 1.2 times. This transformation can be performed twice.]
"Wait, isn't this the effect of the Frozen Skin property? It also grants the magical ability to prevent frostbite. It seems even more powerful than the Frozen Skin property."
Bai Hong initiated the appraisal as soon as he got his hands on it.
So the research direction was wrong.
have to say.
Super-sensory identification is really convenient.
"Charizard, give me that cooling ice crystal." He was a little curious as to why the two cooling ice crystals were different sizes.
[Ice Crystal: When carried, it prevents frostbite; using a normal skill will transform it into an ice-type skill, increasing its power by 1.2 times. This transformation can be performed once.]
Eh!
what happened?
The number of transformations becomes one.
Could it be that the larger the ice crystal, the more times it transforms? To verify this hypothesis, he called Ju Bao and Long Bao over to see if they could create an even larger ice crystal.
Ju Bao and Long Bao didn't understand, but they did as instructed, and it took them nearly seven minutes to make a fairly heavy piece of cooling ice crystal.
it is as expected.
The number of transformations becomes three.
In other words, it can trigger the same effect as Frozen Skin three times during battle, making it especially suitable for Pokémon that cannot master Ice-type moves, such as Charizard.
Charizard is the most typical example. It can learn Fire Punch and Thunder Punch through TM, but it can't learn Ice Punch. After all, it is a Fire-type Pokémon, which is normal.
But if it carries ice crystals, can it use ice-type skills? Bai Hong was curious about this.
