Accelgor Accelgor's body briefly becomes surrounded in a red aura. The aura then fades away until the opponent's attack comes towards it. Accelgor then crouches its body together and a brighter red aura appears around it. Accelgor then opens its arms and a huge dome of red energy bursts out of its body, blocking the opponent's attack.
Charles's Accelgor The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue! Debut
Lokix Lokix releases multiple streaks of light green energy from its body at the opponent. When the streaks of energy hit the opponent, they glow blue, lowering the power of the opponent's attacks.
