That's right. It's difficult, but not insurmountable if you're clever about it.
[A sharp whistle, and the Perrserker slinks back a bit despite having looked ready to leap into the fray. There's the sound of fluttering, and the shimmer of Julian's wings can be seen in just a corner of the video.]
Normally I like to use this chance to work on their teamwork, but one on one battles are a bit more common... So I'll demonstrate that - Galloway, strengthen yourself!
[This is in response as the Poliwhirl is just a bit faster than his opponent, going in for a pound that Galloway takes square on with a kitten's snarl. But it's fine - the Litleo lets loose a roar, making his opponent retreat and actually look a bit uncertain.]
[Well. As uncertain as something that's mostly eyes and a see-through stomach can look, anyway.]
Next, fire- [And as that little roaring mouth gets a fierce flames spitting out from his teeth, Dimitri lowers his voice again to speak to Huey.] There is more to fighting than an attack, but moves that can weaken the strength of an attack, or blind an enemy so that it is harder for them to land a hit... Those are just as important.
And even if there is a disadvantage, some moves still have benefits to them - there we go.
[As Galloway charges ahead, the Poliwhirl lobs a ball of mud straight at his head, which certainly lands. Yet with a straight line forward, it doesn't stop Galloway from leaping from the shore and right onto the Poliwhirl. There's some flailing and splashing, with the Litleo latched on, but he soon goes flying off and is scrambling to shore.]
[He's a wet cat, which means he looks a wreck, but a satisfied one, and Dimitri makes a small noise of approval from behind the camera. As the Poliwhirl grumpily rises from the water again, it's clear that there's a burn mark that's still smoking from his arm.]
There... I was hoping that might happen. But attacks can have alternate effects, and this is one of them. That will be smarting for a good bit. It will not do much.. but it is not something to overlook, either.
[Before he can explain much more on that, the Poliwhirls smacks his hands together, and starts to... spin? Did it just get cloudier?]
[...And that would be a rain dance, which has Dimitri sigh. Off camera, there's the sound of heavy footsteps as his Emboar companion goes to seek shelter.]
...And there are also abilities such as this. Galloway, headbutt.
[And there goes his Litleo, charging forward again.]
