Chapter 64 Is this Team Sunny Day?
Snorlax, the gluttonous Pokémon, Normal type. It eats its own weight in food every day and has an incredibly strong stomach.
Link really likes Snorlax, as evidenced by the Snorlax pajamas he wore when he transmigrated.
However, after capturing the Snorlax that stole Curry, he suddenly realized something—he probably couldn't afford to keep it.
Snorlax is a true glutton, eating its own weight in food every day!
And the one he encountered was even more of a glutton, often overeating thanks to its agile and cunning nature. It was much larger than its peers, and its fur was a darker blue than the usual light blue or navy.
Almost instinctively, Link guessed that its ability was gluttony, which was why it racked its brains and even disregarded its own hindquarters to eat.
"Gag..."
The Snorlax, released from its Poké Ball, seemed to have recovered somewhat, still looking remorseful.
However, the water dolphin reminded Link that the little Munchlax didn't know it was wrong, but rather didn't want to be punished.
It likely had a history of being chased away from the village for stealing food.
"Sigh, what's wrong with a child wanting to be full?"
"(Nods) Meow."
"A pot?"
Link pondered for a moment, deciding to use the little Munchlax for an experiment.
"Little Munchlax, I'm Link, a trainer on a journey. While I'm somewhat interested in your strength, I'm not sure if I can feed you properly.
"So, next, you'll accompany me in an experiment to test whether the little Munchlax needs to eat its own weight in food every day, or if meeting its nutritional needs is sufficient."
"Fennekin?"
The shrew guessed the trainer's idea; the energy in Star Peach Blossoms far exceeded that of ordinary Blue Peach Blossoms and other similar fruits, and they often couldn't eat more than one or two.
If they could feed the little Munchlax with a few Starf berries, they wouldn't have to worry about food every day during their journey.
Link nodded. If they could feed it, they'd keep it; if not, they could give it to Cynthia or the professors.
Although he did like Munchlax, this little one was likely the Hidden Ability of the shiny, cunning giant that would later freeload at the Ghost Festival. Forcing it to live beyond his means would only be mutual torture.
Once he became the Champion and had stable property and income, he could afford to raise not just one Munchlax, but a whole box of them.
"Gang!"
The little Munchlax nodded solemnly, but it didn't actually understand anything except that it could eat again.
So Link took out three Starf berries from his backpack—in fact, Starf berries were much more valuable than an equivalent weight of food.
"Gang!"
The little Munchlax immediately perked up.
Feeding began.
One was gone, and the little Munchlax swallowed it without even chewing.
Two berries passed, and this time Munchlax chewed for a while before swallowing them with a happy expression.
Three berries passed, and Munchlax's eating speed slowed down slightly, seemingly savoring the indescribable deliciousness of the Star Peach.
"Are you full?" Munchlax
shook its head.
Litten suddenly felt it was a waste to feed it the limited supply of tree berries.
Link pondered for a moment, then took out two more berries and continued feeding it.
By the fourth berry, Munchlax had taken a full minute to finish.
So Link continued feeding it a fifth berry.
"Just now..."
This time, Munchlax ate half a berry and couldn't eat any more.
It glanced up at Link and then tried to secretly hide the other half in its armpit fur.
"There's no need to hide the other half, Fennekin."
"Fennekin~"
Fennekin activated its "Psychic" and snatched the berry Munchlax was trying to hide.
In the end, the berry was eaten by the awakened Growlithe.
"Four and a half, it can really eat."
Link and the Pokémon were amazed and quickly asked Munchlax if it was full.
However, looking at the way it was lying on the grass rubbing its belly, everyone could tell at a glance that it was obviously a little full.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Munchlax said that it could eat some more after resting.
"I think you could eat a few hundred pounds of bamboo all day long." Link laughed, inadvertently revealing the plan he would use if he was sure that Munchlax had to eat several hundred pounds.
Give up on raising it? How could that be? This is Munchlax...
It's not strong, but it's cute.
So, the fifth Pokémon officially joined his Sunny Day Team.
But it was obvious to anyone that these five were no good.
A Sunny Day Team, right?
No weather setter, no coverage, no defensive synergy, three Fire-types, one Water-type, and one average.
He had initially planned a doubles team, but after only ten days, Link's "Sunny Day Team" had degenerated into something even he couldn't quite understand.
While the five Pokémon were having a team-building event to welcome their new teammate, Link kept thinking, trying to find a Pokémon that could decisively turn the team back into a Sunny Day Team.
Ideally, it should be easy to obtain, even easy to find in Kitakami Village.
Link racked his brains.
He remembered that Poliwag was everywhere in Kitakami Village, and Vulpix could be seen on Dancing Mountain Path, the latter being more suitable as a weather setter than Torkoal in reality.
The area around Crystal Pool was full of Mimikuri habitats, and Gastly and Lidgetzan could be found in Ghost Mountain and Hell Valley.
Of course, we can't forget Milotic in the Crystal Pool and the nearby Crystal Blossom, as well as Salamence near Ghosttooth Cave.
The Piketo from Wispy Plains and the Mini Q from Everwood also have immense potential!
"Thinking about it carefully, Fennekin can set up Sunny/Rainy Trick Room, and Red Card and Trick provide various exit options, making it a decent weather setter. "
Arcanine in Sunny weather is worth looking forward to, and Dolphin in Rainy weather is also very powerful. Physical tanks Incineroar and Special tanks Snorlax, besides their defensive and transitional roles, can also guarantee sufficient power within a Trick Room setup." "
If only Evil could join the team, switching types with different masks could change the team's focus.
If we replaced Snorlax sitting on the sidelines with Ursaring, it could even team up with Arcanine to create a Sandstorm.
However, after carefully considering the team's balance, Link quickly realized a problem even more serious than the flawed Sunny Day team—the team's offensive types were too homogeneous.
Dolphin is a physical attacker, Incineroar is a physical attacker, Snorlax is a physical attacker, and even if Evil joined, it would still be a physical attacker…
The only special attacker in the entire team is Fennekin's final evolution, Fennekin, while Arcanine, although it could also be a special attacker, would be wasting its potential.
'Special attacker, Sunny Day team… I know the right choice.'
