Primarina thread. Post qt seal, discuss seal, post viable battle sets.
No one cares what gender you think it isit's a girl btw
>>30187377
>87.5% male
I want to teach Primarina how to drive
>>30187397
And?
Will GF ever fix her? Nearly everything she gets is just bad from a competitive point of view.
>>30187377
Worst starter ever.
>>30187397
As canon as pokedex grotesque entires.
aka: not canon :)
>>30187852
What does she need? besides boomburst
>>30188179
Calm Mind and a real recovery move at least. Also needs her signature move fixed and her HA either fixed, changed or Boomburst. Also more HP or Def.
It is highly unlikely that she will get any of those things.
>>30187852
I was thinking of using it alongside Serperior in my pledge team.
The slow one gets priority to go immediately after the fast one and then the swampy marsh halves enemy speed, so that should cover the slowness.
Why is Liquid Voice so underwhelming, other than gimmicky Perish Song + Water Absorb/Storm Drain in doubles?
Why doesn't it get Calm Mind?
Other than that it isn't too bad I suppose, I was hoping it would actually get Serene Grace and be broken as hell.
>>30188256
>>30188259
I made a trick room team for Primarina for shits and giggles, she's pretty tough with choice specs.
Of course I also have her using boom burst...so yeah, hax shit..but I blame GF for not giving it to her in the first place
>sound based HA
>sound/music pokemon
>literally z move about singing
>dude lmao let's not give her the best sound based move
Yeah nah fuck you, GF. I'll give her the move and you'll like it
>>30187397
>Kukui's Primarina is female
>>30188303
>>30188349
Both Liquid Voice and Sparkling Aria are just nerfed versions of things other pokemon get. I kind of wonder if they nerfed them on purpose at some point, like they originally worked like the others. I mean it's very likely that Decidueye was originally a flying type so it's not out of the question.
>>30188513
But think of the excellent Round duets it will sing with 120 power water and priority to go right after the partner that used round first.
Primarina is cute. Cute!!!
>>30188907
Is Round that good in doubles? I only messed around with it in triples and it hits hard other than getting walled by steels, which Primarina (and A-Golem) don't suffer from.

No more of this stupid shit
>>30191348
he is proper when referring to unspecified an gender.
>>30187377
is primarina OU viable besides liquid voice?
>>30193090
What do you mean besides liquid voice? I'd guess Torrent would be preferable to LV in most cases. Unless it gets a buff I don't even see it in UU.
>>30192826
That's sexist, the singular "they" is proper.
>>30187397
fpbp only furfags would be upset about this.
>>30193255
"They" is improper unless you are referring to a group of individuals.
>>30193255
Just use 'it'
singlular with no gender
>>30191451
I wanna see more Pokemon dressed as Team Skull with Team Skull aesthetics
>>30193458
That strips them of their individuality.
>>30193487
How is 'they' any better?
>>30193556
You're right. You should be calling her "she" because she is obviously female.
>very first egg hatched
>pic related
>>30187377
It's working fine in OU for me. Ass vest, Moonblast, Scald, Shadowball, Energy Ball.Torrent ability.
>>30193556
Because 'they' can be used to refer to individuals while 'it' is typically associated with inanimate objects.
>>30193688

>>30193768
'They' can also be used with inanimate objects just like 'it' can be used for individuals

I see a lot of art with the boy
>>30194425
I don't think Primarina is that big
She is big!
How should GF fix Sparkling Aria so then it's not shit when compared to Incineroar's Darkest Lariat or Decidueye's Spirit Shackle?
>>30195018
It damages and heals all status on both sides.
>>30194425
because straight males find it attractive
>>30195056
Including the user of Sparkling Aria? Sounds like not a bad way to avoid being screwed over by poison.
>>30195159
And by including I don't mean the "getting hurt by it" thing as well.
>>30195018
Have it heal allies it hits instead of hurting them? Or at least heals them of status effects but doesn't damage them? Really not sure how to go about changing it in a way that makes sense. If I had to choose though, I'd rather they fix Liquid Voice. Yeah Sparkling Aria is a detrimental move but there are still plenty of other water moves to use. Liquid Voice is practically useless and even worse than Torrent.
Of course GF will never change anything about it. They clearly don't want it to be good.
>>30195275
It's like -ate, you use it to spam Hyper Voice to kill enemies behind substitute.
>>30195409
Except -ates also get a damage boost. Liquid Voice doesn't for seemingly no reason but to make it a bad ability. You could argue it would be lazy if they had just given it Pixilate, but designing a move specifically for it and not giving it the same benefits as every other move like it could only be deliberate.
>>30195107
because straight male zoophiles find it attractive
Fixed
>>30194425
Because /ss/.
>>30195275
How about introducing a new held item called the "Microphone" and have it so that it boosts sound based moves' base power by 35% more and grants any usage of a sound based move to bestow the user 30% more speed for that duration of the turn. But its main drawback is that it only works for three sound based moves within one battle. However every turn that said microphone holder is spent not out in battle but in their pokeball, a new "attack" is recharged for it. Also when hit by another sound based move, 33% of the damage taken by the microphone holder will be returned back at the attacker at the cost of one attack charge (this happens regardless, and if there's no more charge then no counter damage is returned.)
>>30195619
That sounds way too complicated.
>>30195619
Oh yeah and also it boosts the base accuracy of any non-attack sound based moves like sing and grass whistle to 100% accuracy as long as you have one charge. And also the microphone reflects any non-attack sound based moves as long as theirs one charge.
>>30195619
>>30195812
Yeah I agree, way too complicated. Easier to either give Liquid Voice the same damage boost as the other -ate abilities or Boomburst as a tutor move.
>>30195671
>>30195916
How is it too complicated though?
>>30188391

more primarina
>>30195018
They need to make it like Pollen Puff where it damages foes and heals allies, especially since AI Primarina use it on their teammates; or make it deal double damage when healing burns like Wake-Up Slap and Smelling Salts.
>>30194425
Probobly because its cute, it gives off this weird protective mother vibe.

>>30208175
its*
>>30195960
Never-Melt Ice increases ice damage, thats it.
Mystic Water increases water damage, thats it.
Silk Scarf increases Normal damage, thats it.
Microphone increases damage by more than those, but only works on 3 moves so it has to list which moves, also gives a massive speed buff, and works on a fucking charge system that we would have to keep track of or ignore. and also functions as a rocky helmet for sound moves.
Too many things to fit in the 3 lines of text an item usually gets.
>>30193351
singular they has been used for centuries
>>30208227
'it' has also been used for centuries
>>30208236
You should be using you as a plural then.
>>30194425
Default Sun has blue strip shirt so their color match. Chicken-san however has red hat and yellow shirt so she is more suit to Incineroar imo. Kukui has glasses, green symbol hat and green belt so he is more suit to Decidueye.
>>30208250
You should be using 'I' as singular then.

>>30187572
>male Primarina could have had no eyelashes and no frills around the waist so its bottom half would look less like a dress
ONE JOB GAMEFREAK
Since it's all about singing and its mostly mal, do you think Primarina is supposed ot be like one of those hair-metal guys from the 80s like Axel Rose, where they look all girly but they get tons of pussy anyway and have a great singing voice?
>>30210174
But a primadonna is the FEMALE singer in an opera house
A shame the Hoenn or Unova contests aren't a thing in Alola. I would've loved to put my Primarina into one.
>>30210385
Lead female singer forgot that part
>>30210386
That would have been amazing.
Is Quiet a good natue for this pokemon? just got tired of retries of a modest nature female popplio
>tfw still resetting for a modest female
>>30212076
I'm resetting for the shiny starter because I'm retarded. I thought about breeding but it seems like you have to pretty much beat the game to do that and by then who knows if I'll even want it anymore. I just dunno how to really lol...
>>30212076
Worth it
>>30212076
>tfw the first female I got had Modest
Going through the cutscene over and over again was worth it.
>>30212076
what are the chances of this to happen?
>>30212506
Do you think it's worth the effort to get the shiny?
>>30212636
Got one just starting the game, only soft resetted once. But the chances are 0.125*0.04=0.005, or 0.5% if my math is not wrong
>>30212674
That all depends on whether you like the shiny colors more than default ones. Regular Primarina was great enough for me.
>first try
>got a male Popplio so i fucked off and tried again
>second try
>female Popplio with naughty nature
Perfect.
>>30211850
pls respond
>>30208568
Here's a larger version of that.
>>30211850
Modest is the preferable nature but even without the hit to speed it's not going to be out-speeding the competition.
>>30211850
>>30213039
Well, it increases the SpAtk, which is great, but reduces the Speed on an already slow Pokemon. It's fine in game, it will still destroy everything, but it will move last more often
>>30187377
>mfw giving out 4IV Jangmo-os and I look at the shitmons I got

It definitely isn't preferable but anything that lowers -atk isn't bad. It's fine for an in-game playthrough.
>>30187377
>Modest Primarina female first try
Running Hydro Pump, Moonblast, Psychic, and Sparkling Aria with it'a Z-Stone

Tips on what do?
Since its a mermaid and all does that mean primarina is the biggest of the starters.
Is her ass the heaviest too?
>>30216684

>>30218632
It is only "5'11".

>First try
>Female Popplio
>Bold nature
Well, I won't look a gift sea lion in the mouth.
>>30220816
But what if you did look a gift dog of the sea in the mouth? What then?
>>30219934
What's the other starters size?
>>30218632
She's got a fat massive ass so yea.
>>30219934
Is that length or height when it's in its resting position? Because I think it's the later
>>30221977
I'm pretty sure it's length. Otherwise primarina would look huge compared to the trainer and the other starters
>>30222128
I just bought the game, so I still have a Brionne, but I remember thinking that before seeing it in game in the reveal trailer.
Maybe it was the angle, but it didn't look much shorter than the MC when it was just laying down in front of them, and if it stood up on it's tail besides the MC, it would look much taller. Maybe the MC is a dwarf this time and you're right
>>30223076
Well when mine was standing on its tail it looked to be at least 6-7 feet long.
Sucks that diving is not back primarina underwater could have looked majestic.
Help! Brionne's too damn cute! I don't want to use anything else!
When I accidetally hit her ears, she made a mad expression, it was so cute. Looks like her ear-bubble-thingys are her sweet spot on refresh. Also, the game said something like "Brionne's wants to get pet" or something like that in battle, and she was doing a little dance when I got into the Refresh menu. Fuck.
>>30224409
>When I accidetally hit her ears, she made a mad expression
Time to bully my seal
>>30224555
I don't even know how to do it, I accidentally touched her ear-bubble and it made a snapping sound and she got mad. I tried again and it didn't work
>>30224409
Try getting other cute poke to counter her cute.
>>30221013
I wouldn't do that either, but I imagine it'd involve teeth and a tongue.
>20 resets in a row with no female
I shoud have just kept the timid.
>>30225719
Don't give up now anon!
>>30225719
I picked Robin Hood Owl as my starter mainly because I didn't want to deal with the retarded gender ratio on Popplio. I managed to breed a fantastic Modest Female Popplio after nearly four hours during the post-game, at least. Now my online team is ready.
>tfw using both the owl and the mermaid on the same team
>>30201852
I would pet her all day. Probably feels very smooth.
>>30214109
because its a kids game
also it would make the item harder to balance
I will choose the water starter
>>30225719
I passed up a quirky and hardy. Still trying.
Also still deciding on a nickname. What have anons called their cute seal waifu?
Can some one help me understand this things pupils? They should be the blue and purple bit, but I think that looks really weird, its like its facing the wrong way.
>>30209716
I have been soft resetting for almost an hour now
FUG
>>30226406
Well why would you not? you got a speed attacker and a wall, its a pretty good combo.
>>30227620
She found out they were cheating on her.>>30229115
no
>>30229115
No I think the white part is the pupil, that blue and purple bit is the generic animu eye shine thing.
>>30229115
It has no visible pupil.
Its all a huge pupil developed for precise underwater sight.
>>30229119
I'm finding it pretty easy to get girls, it's just rolling modest that I can't seem to do.
>>30229210
No that is just specular where the light hits.
A lot of Pokemon have that like that, like Lopunny for example.
>>30229231
This is probably more right. I wonder though if I should just get rid of the purple bit so it looks better.
>>30187397
To be honest I let my Primarina be male
I thought having a trap starter was funny. I have an extremely immature/DUDE WEED LMAO sense of humor.
Regardless of gender Prima is the best, though. That Z-Move is amazing.
>>30187397
I like my Primarina better with a big dong though.
>>30229115
well it's not always looking down and to the side for one
pay attention to the eyes as it does stuff and it'll be obvious
>>30229889
The position of the white and purple but never changes in all of its eye textures so it is probably neither of them
The anime will show us.
>>30230072
It will assuming Popplio ever evolves. Or is even in more than one episode.
>>30230101
If it doesn't, then a character with a Primarina will appear at some point. That's what happened to Delphox.
>>30230163
This. Theres no fucking way we'll see the entire alola anime and somehow not see a primarina.
>>30230163
Also depends on how involved Lana is. I dunno if she'll be a permanent part of the main group like Lillie and Mallow will probably be.
>>30230189
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't. Popplio is the starter that is most likely going to get shafted.
Finally got a Calm. It's not Modest, but I'll take it.
>>30230433
Nice. I've got a Sassy one, would that be considered viable at all?
Which Z move is better to use?
The water one or the Primarina exclusive one?
>>30230615
Water unfortunately.
>>30230615
Depends. Aquadama does more damage but you are sacrificing a move slot for Sparkling Aria. I'm still kinda pissed that the others get good moves while Primarina gets a shitty one for no apparent reason.
>>30230665
Why? Just because Sparkling Aria is unreliable?
>>30230547
I wouldn't use a speed hindering nature desu. Since her speed is already low it means you'll pretty much always attack last and get lots of "couldn't escape" when trying to run from random battles.
>>30230547
Viable for what? In a basic playthrough it doesn't matter much.
>>30229032

primarina is BAd
Don't forget to rub your Primarina every day
Why couldn't her Hidden Ability just be Pixilate? GameFreak even gives her Hyper Voice but they knows there's no room in her for it without Pixilate. Her hidden ability is a cool concept but without a boost, what's the point of taking anything besides Aria or Surf?
>>30229032
Call me uncreative, but I went with Hanon.
One question: Does its nose still honk?
>>30232527
Well Aria is a detrimental ability, so there's plenty of reason to not use it. The only use of the HA is to have a surf that doesn't hurt allies and goes through substitutes.
In other words, there really isn't one. Unless someone at GameFreak decides they like it, Primarina is stuck with a nerfed Smelling Salts and a nerfed Pixilate.
got female on 3rd try. it's also impish
my pepekek is calm
holy shit I got all the wrong natures so far.
So how did you guys use your Primarina and how well did she perform? She was my team's special tank of where'd I occasionally substitute an attacking move with Reflect or Light Screen and has performed pretty well with notable mentions to Totem Gumshoos, Salazzle, Guzma and Lusamine.
Anyone got that "you'll have to excuse my son" primarina pic saved?
>>30233305
Special attacker with the only physical move being Aqua Jet for when I needed to quickly take out a low health enemy. Took out quite a bit of the totem pokemon as well as most of the aces of the Kahunas.

>>30197639
>Why would you anthropomorphize something that is already anthropomorphic
I agree. It looks really, really out of place nearly all of the time. I've seen a few where it looks natural, but most of the time they look wrong due to how long Primarina is.
Usually good when it's just cleavage hidden by the frill on her chest, though.
Monitoring thread in hopes of seeing that series of three pictures with each one being a different stage of Popplio snuggling with Sun asleep. I don't know what I didn't save them, but i'm regretting it. >>30209837 is one of them, but without the text.

>>30229032
Azura. I mean there's the fact that I have been playing FE Fates to kill time until Sun&Moon came out. There's the fact that she is a water type Pokemon, has a blue hair and is highly based around singing and performing. And finally there's the fact that her Sun pokedex entry states that its songs are passed down from one generation to next.
>>30236592
Primarina being shown next to a drawn to scale human character for size reference gives me some absurdly gooey feelings. Primarina is a pretty fucking large Pokemon factoring in width of her midsection (I hate to say ass, but I guess that's basically her butt/hips so yea...big ass.) and her total body length from head to tail tip. Imagine a Primarina sleeping with you in your bed. Her lower half would be totally intertwining with you. I need it.
>>30236779
Actually, anon. I'd hate to burst your bubble but I think the 5'11 is when she's standing on her flippers. Elongated pokemon, especially serpentine ones, usually have their size misinterpreted because it's actually how long they are.
Serperior is relatively small, because resources state the length of the pokemon as opposed to the height.
>>30188513
>Sparkling Aria is just a nerfed version of something other mons get
>it's Surf but with Sound properties, even without Liquid Voice
>>30237127
Is it even confirmed to have sound properties? Either way imo that's hardly a good trade-off to having it heal a status effect and not get the bonus damage that the similar attacks get.
>>30237463
Yes, and literally has the same Power and Accuracy of Surf
Healing burns is fine if your team doesn't take advantage of it itself
>>30237775
But then why not just use Surf? The only difference is that Sparkling Aria heals burns and supposedly goes through substitutes. Bigger issue, though, is that the other starters get purely beneficial secondary effects, yet Primarina gets a negative one.
>>30237939
You've been discussing this exact thing for the past 5 fucking threads, nobody uses Sparkling Aria or Surf.
You're not forced to use their signature moves.
Primarina gets Hydro Pump and Scald, way better STABs and has the highest Sp.A.
Decidueye doesn't get a single high BP STAB, Incineroar doesn't get Knock off/Pursuit/Sucker Punch, so you can't compare them since they've broad differences. All the starters this gen are subpar.
There, I summed it up for you.
Is modest the best nature for this thing?
