Larvesta surges ahead with a trio of devastating Bug Buzzes, gaining a massive advantage. Slowpoke's efforts to bolster its own attacks by controlling the weather bring its damage up to a respectable output, but it unfortunately misses triggering Water Pulse's debilitating secondary effect. At this rate, the battle really will be over in no time at all.

Larvesta continues its onslaught with another Bug Buzz, but Slowpoke weathers the attack and strikes back with a vengeance. Drawing power from the rain-drenched arena, the Psychic-type constructs an magnificently complex structure out of watery rings and sends it crashing into Larvesta. The almost-alien geometry of the attack breaks something in Larvesta's mind, driving it into a state of confusion. Maddened by its inability to grasp the nature of Slowpoke's move, Larvesta produces a frustrated keening sound that reverberates off the arena walls. Luckily for Granny Pie, though, Slowpoke is too exhausted from the prior action to dodge the fallout of Larvesta's display, resulting in a noisy end to the battle.
