It's not baffling to me; I think they really wanted Primarina to use Hyper Voice as its primary stab, which makes sense. Besides. Now her main STAB goes through subs and she has a 90 SpA spread move that doesn't hit allies.

I agree with your general points very much; I really appreciate the exciting strategies and combos GF's given us with these new pokemon. Most of these pokemon seem well thought out. As for Gumshoos, that's a really cool strategy I hadn't considered yet; but, 88/60/60 defenses are keeping this...

Name one example of an ability on a pokemon that has been more of a forced nonsense reach than this?

It really doesn't though... there's no water bubble on Azumarill. Or Floatzel. Not to be annoying but just keeping it honest

True lol It learns Acrobatics is why I pointed Swords Dance out; in RU Doubles (which is the bare minimum tier this thing is gonna end up in; probably UU if not OU) Oricorio's attack stat is passable enough to run Acrobatics on a mixed set (with Revelation Dance being primary STAB obv) for...

Yeah, Oricorio is definitely not cut out for VGC. Like I said though, I really do think it's going to run the house in lower doubles tiers, though.

That's true lol; I don't notice though because I play Doubles with the tier lists that I guess are for singles. It's Smogon's fault they don't keep up tiers below UU for doubles Sensu style does have the best chance, since it's the most unique and least replacable (Pom Pom and Pa'u will...

Y'all are annoying (lol) pretending to be disappointed this thing doesn't get Quiver Dance when it's not even remotely a butterfly or bee. Also, how can you see an ability like Dancer and say this thing is gonna be "NU at best"? It's easily abusable; lots of things use Quiver and Dragon Dance...

I'm with Absolclaw, I expected this to be kinda another Chimecho. It's bizarre but appreciated how I don't think GF made anything boring/mediocre this gen except for probably Gumshoos, whose combined frailty and slowness is going to cramp it greatly in both PU Doubles and Singles It's funny how...

I just want y'all to KNOW that while y'all were calling this thing a "shitmon" I was out on page two making sets for PU. Guess we know who's really loyal Lol, I'm glad that this thing isn't mediocre whatever though. I can't wait to try out this set in doubles: Bunny (Araquanid) @ Leftovers...

You may have chosen Oranguru specifically for Instruct or something else, but I'll add that Symbiosis Florges might be a good partner for Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini especially given that Florges can set up Misty or Grassy Terrain again if the opponent also leads with a diety

Those are good points, but Psychic Terrain is looking so useful on Beeheyem and Musharna especially that I don't see why Psychic Terrain would "disappear" if Tapu Lele was banned. It's true fitting Psychic Terrain on a moveset for Musharna or Beeheyem is looking actually kinda complicated, but...

Literally how. You just listed there are four pokemon with Psychic Terrain, not one. That's not even counting Smeargle. Also, Ubers IS a tier, lol, so...?

Masquerain really did get DECKED out lol Exor suggested they wanted Masquerain to be Araquanid's counterpart, given that it has the exact same BST after the stat boosts and both evolve from Bug/Waters. Which is so odd. I have a question though, is it really important whether Masquerain can...
