These were all the details of the upgraded moves of Nidoking. The little guy who had to take help to even run for a few kilometers had grown so much in just 3-4 years.

This showed the result of the potential of Pokemon and their hard work. If Nidoking was used well, then it might the most powerful Pokemon in his team. It was not a single target specialist like Charizard and Shedinja but a tide battle specialist that could overwhelm the weaker Pokemons and also stronger Pokemons.

After Venusaur and Gogoat, Nidoking must be the first Pokemon on this team with a strong healing move. 'Poison damage transfer' and 'Life suck' was not a joke if used in a tide battle.

The upgrade on moves like 'Poison spread', 'Poison damage transfer', and 'Substitute' were game-changing in tide battles. Yet, this was not the thing that made Nidoking the monster it is right now.

The thing that made it a monster was its newly acquired passive move which had also been upgraded to Stage II.

 ---

Poison manipulation:

Stage I: Can manipulate poison freely inside one's body and also inside the body of others. All the powers of the poison are boosted. Can also heal itself using the power of poison.

Stage II: The poison can now cause paralysis rapid stamina consumption or a decrease in healing.

 ---

Stage I of this move had already made Nidoking a lot stronger than before. Of course, the effect could not be done to multiple Pokemons but it was still a very big plus point. Nidoking can also additionally heal with poison inside its body.

Of course, the effect was not so high, otherwise, it really would be immortal.

The second stage of the move was what made it more interesting. For the longest time, Axel and Nidoking were thinking about how to change the effect of poison. As per Axel's understanding, poison could do a lot of things. Like paralyzing the opponent, decreasing the health and stamina and other things.

But it was very hard to do so and even after trying for so many years, Nidoking was not able to do it. Finally, with the second stage of this move, Nidoking can add the other effects in poison.

It could be used a surprise move or an end move for big boss fight. During those fights, even a second of additional time could be very valuable.

Nidoking was also training on the move 'Ancient power'. Of course, not as hard as Mamoswine but Axel believed that it would reach level 40 very soon.

Even though it had trained a lot and got a lot stronger, it was only training mainly in poison type moves, not ground type moves.

This was done with careful consideration. When it unlocked the ground type core, there were a lot of things to do for Nidoking. Nidoking knew a lot of moves and except for some of them, others were not so impactful. It reached to the point where it would not be able to use all the moves in a battle cause the range of the moves were so high.

So, focusing on both of the cores would not have been ideal at that time. They decided to first focus on poison type moves and then focus on ground types.

"Meg, you should now focus on the move 'Sand construct', 'Toxic spikes' and 'Toxic thread'. Let's concentrate on this for the whole month. You are already very close to reaching tier 3.

After that we will focus on other things.", said Axel.

'Toxic spikes' and 'Toxic thread' were simple moves but they were equally very deadly. One of the nature of toxic was that the condition of the enemy would get worse after every passing minute which was great in longer battles like tide battles.

For the move 'Sand construct', Axel had made some grand plans. He wanted it to be another overpowered version of 'Substitute'. He also wanted it to take the advantage of 'Poison damage transfer' just like the move 'Substitute'.

All of this might not be completed in a month but Axel had high hopes for Nidoking.

It was now time to look into Beedrill and Alakazam.
