wake-up slap and smelling salts

No, but seriously, unless she gets either serene grace OR aurora veil as exclusive move, she's going to be shit. She has no niche. Tapu Fini has the exact same typing with probably similar/better movepool and better ability.

>>29462652
Didn't mention anything about doing more damage on burned victims, though. I seriously hope that it does that, though.

>>29462652
that usually doubles the power thought. if it doubles the power of the move used like those variants i could see it, but whose dumb enough to run two water type moves with one only having a 30% chance to burn. also i doubt popmaid is getting will-o-wisp.

>In charge of doing anything decent

Hope that your primadonna gets a decent ability, because its chances aren't looking so good.

>>29462750
Tapu Fini also has a predictable bigger BST. so whats even the point?

>>29462768
Now hold on anon, it is water/fairy and bulky so i don't see it being total garbage just yet.

>>29462790
Ubers vs OU.

Is it a Water move or a Fairy move?

I'm not sure if its confirmed, but seeing as the other two are clearly Ghost and Dark moves it seems strange it wouldn't be Fairy

>>29462942
Its water. you can hear the super effective hit sound when used against lycanroc

>doubles with water absorb burned team mate

What a niche tho

>>29462986
oh yeah I didn't think about that

that bothers me they don't all match up

>>29462838
>It's Water/Fairy and bulky

And will pretty much be that.

>>29462602
This is literally the meganium of the new starters

>>29463228
>a really good defense type combo
>bulky

whats the problem? Oh and water/fairy are awesome offensively as well as defensive. Aside from its signature move I don't see a problem here.

>Bulky stats
>Water/Fairy typing
>shit

Is this bait? I know /vp/ is ignorant about competitive but surely not to this degree.

>>29463332

I'm not saying it's bad per se, but it won't be anything more than that if you're expecting more.

>>29463423
Why would I want more? It sounds like its already ou material and if it gets a kickass HA like serene grace or regenerator it'll head straight to ubers.

>>29463410
Fini needs to have a completely different stat spread, otherwise we can expect it to be better than Primarina

>>29462602
Only thing I can think of is it deactivates Guts using Burn status.

>>29463477
you're high

>>29463799
nobody in their right mind uses flame orb for guts when you can use tox orb and take less damage for the amount of turns you'll actually be alive or stay in

>>29463710
Why are people expecting the tapus to automatically be good?

>>29463710
>legendary being statistically better than a starter

Really makes me think.

>inb4 it heals burns, but then also has a chance to freeze, making it the perfect companion move to Scald, allowing you to scald burn at your leisure, and then attempt to switch the burn for freeze whenever you want

>>29463710
Fini looks like it will be a speedy attacker, it outspeed Magmar who has 93 base speed, so there's no need to worry about there being any overlap between Primarina and her.

>>29463806
you're drunk

>>29463934
i think thats asking for too much anon but a boy can dream

>>29462602
>It's signature ability HEALS the burns of its targets
As a downside for a high BP sound move?

G-guys, what if this is part of a new way to catch Pokemon without completely weakening them?

>>29462602
In the japanese trailer we actually see the attack dealing damage to an aerodactyl and we see its HP going down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuiDXEK3lL4

I made some calcs assuming Primarina SpA attack is 105, it has neutral nature and no EVs in all. To K.O aerodactyl the attacks has to have in least 80 base power.

I honestly would had like seeing Primarina hit something with better defenses to do a better speculation.

This one is gonna be a little of a stretches but in the trading card game Primarina has the strongest not GX attack of the starters. If only we could read the name of the attack.

>>29462602
>high defense
>scald
>probably HA Serene grace
>burn all the time
>Double damage unburn and kills you.

Yeah sure.

GF wanted to make it unappealing at first because it's clearly the broken starter of this gen.

>>29463410
How do you know it has bulky stats?

>>29462768
>it's chances aren't looking too good

Just being a water/fairy type is a huge fucking boon.

Why nobody is thinking that Primaria signature move may be able to hit multiple targets?

By the animation it really look like a move that hit multiple targets.

>>29467569
Because no one cares about doubles.

>>29467347

Because "bulky water types" is the most repeated expression on Smogon.

We've seen Popplios stats

>>29467284
The burn heal is likely a downside added to compensate for high damage. Based on the name, the attack could also be sound based.

>>29467340
>Assuming all of this
>Not realizing Topu Fini is already better
>Thinking smelling salts will ever be good

>>29463886
Because their BST will most likely be 580, and besides Bulu, because of it's typing, none of them have glaring flaws. Hell, psy/fairy and water/fairy are both amazing.
