Based on his memories and his current knowledge, Hisoka condensed Pokémon data into these charts for easy comparison.
As the data showed, Sneasel was the perfect candidate for a Speedster. It was the quintessential assassin: high attack, high speed, and paper-thin defense.
For its move set, Sneasel could naturally learn the high-damage Dark move, Night Slash. He could use TMs to teach it Ice Punch and Brick Break, and round it off with Swords Dance for an attack buff. This was the optimal combination Hisoka had determined after multiple data simulations.
As he finished his notes, Hisoka rested his chin on his folded hands, lost in thought. Pokémon were not so different from humans; they possessed intelligence far beyond ordinary animals and rich, human-like emotions. Just like humans, the gap between individuals and species was vast.
A Pokémon's energy was limited. They could learn many moves, but only a few could be mastered to the point of exceeding their natural limits.
Therefore, based on decades of research, the League recommended that trainers focus on four primary moves. It was a simple suggestion, but it allowed a Pokémon to reach its maximum combat potential.
Practice makes perfect was more than just a cliché.
In the early morning, a gentle southern breeze carrying the scent of the forest blew through Viridian City. The rising sun signaled the start of a new day.
It was May, and the weather was at its most pleasant. Hisoka, wearing a black high-collared shirt with a Poké Ball design on the back, walked into his backyard. His garden was filled with berries and medicinal plants.
They weren't rare varieties, but they were in high demand. Thanks to Hisoka's expertise in cultivation and grafting, his harvest was far superior to standard market products.
