    • I like it and all but I dunno if that will save it
      With all the set up and its overall moveset, Decidueye looks MILES ahead of anything else

        • But here’s the problem
          No knock off, sucker punch, and Fire/Dark is a TERRIBLE defensive typing! A majority of its weaknesses are special!

          • But Incineroar can learn Swords Dance and Bulk Up. Combine these with Flare Blitz and one of Outrage/Thrash and you have a massive threat facing.

          • True, I might go for Popplio now. Still picking Rowlet in Sun because I ALWAYS choose the Grass starter on the first playthrough. But I’m getting both games so perhaps Popplio in Moon.

          • Same could be said for Decidueye

            Weak to Knock Off, sucker punch, pursuit, has subpar abilities, Slow and not bulky enough

          • That is true… The thing giving Decidueye more of a chance is that it seems to have some sort of utility

  9. Well they couldn’t even give Incineroar a decent stat build
    Why even fucking bother with this at this point
    Absolute shit move pool and nothing to give it any sort of hook or angle

    • TBF I’d be terrified what some moves would be like with a water – ate ability

      Now I’m wondering how – ates affect Z-Moves 😡

  12. So, Primarina is a bulkier, slower Gardevoir with water soundbased pixilate, Incineroar is tecnically a swampert with intimidate, and Decidueye is just meh with really meh ability.

  13. Starters hidden abilities
    Decidueye – Long Reach: The Pokemon uses its move, without making contact with the target
    Incineroar – Intimidate
    Primarina – Liquid Voice: Sound-based moves become Water type

  14. So these starters are just seriously shit.

    Incineroar doesn’t even have the Bulk to abuse Intimidate.
    How important is it for Decidueye to not make contact anyway.
    And Liquid Voice. Does it at least give them a boost like the -ate abilities.

  16. Is no one going to speak about the Leech Life buff!? Fudge that’s excessive

    And Litten gets it!

    Calling it, UB-02 will have Drain Punch and Leech Life and will have an ability which is basically a built in Big Root

  20. Y’know what is really funny?
    A complaint for Incineroar: No sucker punch
    A complaint for Primarina: No recovery

    …Yet for some reason Decidueye gets both

        • Decidueye has no usable ability actually and its bulk with 78/75/100 is really unuseful for a grass/ghost type. Too many moves that can destroy it outthere….

          • Honestly it’ll be fine. Its hidden ability actually does work well for it given it has access to brave bird, sucker punch, u-turn and leaf-blade. Its slow, but it still has that sucker punch for priority. It has access to roost and sub so It can be used as a stall wall, and even then it’ll probably find some good use in being doubles support.

            Honestly I almost see it as a M-Kang in it’s current state. A mon that on its own is pretty good, but people can quickly point out its flaws. However with the right setup it’ll become a serious threat given it has some good damage and a move that prevents you from switching out, meaning that follow me /wideguard/fake out or anything else that could help buy it some time to lock down your opponents team will see some use with it.

          • No, not at all. People forget this, but M-Kang wasn’t seen as all that great in VGC 2014. While it had some good bulk to it, it was still reasonably easy to 2-shot, making it kinda worthless as your mega. It could certainly do some damage, but the moment it was on the field, it was the main target of your opponent, making it kind of bad. That changed with 2015 and giving it access Lando-T. Having an intimidate user on the field lead with it made it much harder to kill, and more importantly made your opponent really have to consider which one was the bigger threat to you. This was only made better for M-Kang once Primals were legal in 2016.

            My point simply is that it has a good chance in doubles if you can find something that’s a bigger threat to your opponent then locking them into battle and doing some decent damage. Deci might do well paired with one of the Tapu’s and their reasonable threats. But at this point it depends on how much the meta’s changed. This seems to be the generation of favoring bulk over speed, so who know’s what’s going to happen.

  22. I want to know about the new Pokémon and dex, but I really don’t want story spoilers.
    So Could people please tag the story spoilers, thanks.
