Growl went off without a hitch! Good! Ralia however, was wide open for the tackle attack. Bad! There wasn't enough time for the Ralts to dodge that. However, sometimes you just needed to take the blow dealt to you, so you could hit 'em with a hard counter. For instance, Ralia could attempt to dodge, but if she did that...then there was a chance she'd get hit without dealing any damage. If she could keep her line of sight focused on Swinub, there was a good chance they would both take a hit. Plus, there was a small chance Swinub could veer off course if they got lucky. And, considering the growl, she was confident in Ralia's ability to take a hit so there wasn't really a good reason to attempt to dodge. 

Without a word to Ralts, it kept on her course. It held out its arms towards Sven, eyes lighting up with psychic energy, locking with the Swinub. Claire waited for the result of the action before giving Ralia another command.
