In the official pv released in early October, players saw more details in combat, such as "Taijing explosion" and "Downward tail", which are obviously new mechanisms added around how to enhance the combat experience. In addition, the two characteristics of the new Pokémon " Qiqilin " are also brand new. At present, they both seem to be very powerful. If the " Qiqilin " strength online or other more powerful Pokémon also has these two characteristics, it will have a significant impact on the existing combat system.
1, Rumination (Properties)
Since the second generation, "carrying items" has been part of the combat system. Although these props may not be of much use for casual players, they are all strategically important tactical props for players who like PVP. "Tree Fruit" has been added to the game since the third generation. If Pokémon is allowed to carry tree fruits, under specific conditions, Pokémon will eat the carried tree fruits in the battle. For example, when carrying Muzi fruit, it will be eaten immediately when it falls into an abnormal state; when carrying Lanza fruit, it will be eaten immediately when it is less than 1⁄4, it will be eaten immediately and enter the key state of easy to get.
Ruminant: After eating the tree fruit, you can eat the tree fruit again at the end of the next round. means that Pokémon with this feature can extend the effect of tree fruit. Although the second consumption is still automatic and there is no guarantee that the expected results can be achieved, it is indeed doubled, which is extremely critical in the fierce battle. Trainers can completely revolve around this new mechanism to create some brand new tactics and catch their opponent off guard.
2, Tail Armor (Properties)
In addition to "carrying items", "making moves first" is also an important strategic mechanism that exists for a long time. All the pre-made moves in have a priority of more than +1. If the opponent does not use the pre-made moves when using these moves to attack, it will definitely be faster than the opponent. Most casual players only know that there are such skills, but they don’t know that there is a priority for “making moves first”. In fact, there are still many "pre-made" but non-destructive moves, such as "help" and "hold". In a PVP where every move is important, it is important to have a Pokémon that can almost take the lead in the player's lineup.
However, the special effect of " Qiqilin " " tail armor" completely subverts this combat method. tail armor: makes the opponent's Pokémon unable to use the pre-made move. If can really work as advertised, then as long as " Qiqilin " is present, all Pokémons with "first moves" will be defeated! This can avoid a lot of uncertainty in combat, and even make the " look at me" , " magic defense" and other moves invalid. This feature seems so powerful at the moment that " Qiqilin " with the "tail armor" feature may become a frequent visitor to PVP. It feels like Game Freak wants to further improve the complexity of the battle, but we can only wait and see how much impact it will have on the game.
Finally, let’s introduce the basic overview of “ Qiqilin ”. It is a general/superpower dual attribute, with only two weaknesses: insect and evil. Since it releases superpower waves from the angle on its head and is always vigilant about the surroundings, it can detect danger in an instant, but it seems that the body cannot keep up with the response speed of the mind. The head of its tail is thick and strong, firmly protecting the head of the body. When its tail's head closes its mouth, it shakes its neck to launch a fierce physical attack. It is said that its power can crush rock trays and flatten steel bars.
What do you think of " Qiqilin " and the new features?
