It's super effective! Magnezone reels from the hit, wobbling in the air, and the force makes it recognize that it was foolish to be aggressive in the first place. Maybe this is just a misunderstanding. It droops down close to the ground, not showing any more signs of fighting.
[ Sirfetch'd is definitely doing that thing that sword fighters do when they've won, and is holding its leek sword out at Magnezone, point first. Like ha ha, I have bested you!
Arthur reaches over and pats the Pokemon on the head. ]
You did well my friend. I think we've taken the fight right out of it.
He claps. "Good show! I can take care of it from here. If you could bring the others back here when you find them, that would be splendid! I can't thank you enough!"
There's nothing that pops out to Clover quite as immediately as Magnezone did. There's a Pokemon—! Wait, that's a Graveler. Not one of the ones on the list. Other Pokemon are working the fields, but none fit the description. There are some shops, a training ground, residences with laundry hanging out behind them—along with a strange statue...? A back gate to the walled village leads out towards a peaceful beach, but Clover would have to fly over there to see anything on it.
You squeeze through the buildings to see it. Looking at it in person, and not from an aerial view, it looks really, really, really similar to what Probopass looked like in the Pokedex photo.
[ Oh! This is going smoothly (?)... she almost feels bad for engaging the other Pokemon in battle first. She didn't know Diplomacy was an option! But Ori mirror's Arthur's gesture, in hopes that the Pokemon will follow! ]
She lifts up off the ground to follow without incident. Apparently diplomacy is sometimes an option! The professor will happily take custody of her too.
Well, now that we've taken care of that, I propose we head toward the beach. 'Twas the only area Clover was not able to see. It could be where our last errant Pokemon is hiding.
Unfortunately, it's nowhere near tropical enough here to have palm trees. After heading out the gate and walking across a grassy path, you see a relatively short stretch of sand between some rocky cliffs. A simple wooden dock extends into the chilly water.
But Alakazam is meditating at the end of the dock!

[ Whimsicott squeals and bounces happily! Sirfetch'd is a hero!
Ori, meanwhile, tilts her head. ]
Ah, you're right, it... Gave up?
[ She looks to see if the Professor is around. What now? ]

Let us resume our search then. Clover?

Hmm... Should we investigate the strange statue? They're usually a good place to start, in my experience...

Oh! It does, doesn't it? Hiding in plain sight.
