>>46940964A quick surprise attack isn't fighting indirectly, it's attacking the opponent directly before the enemy can react. That's fighting dirty, it's not indirect. Same for disarming opponents and using their strength against them. It's a cheap tactic but it's a direct tactic. This also applies to False Surrender, and yes, anon, it is the signature move of both of them, because they're the only things that learn it. It's learned by Morgrem first, but Grimmsnarl also innately knows the move because it's integral to both of them. To claim otherwise is disingenuous. Morgrem has one signature move, while Grimmsnarl has two; False Surrender and Spirit Break, which is an attack that demoralizes the enemy.
>Nuh-uh it just says it breaks the spiritTo have a broken spirit is to become demoralized and lose hope. Grimmsnarl is attacking it's opponent with such brutality that it's breaking their spirit, which is why it lowers the special attack.
>Fairy is just the cute type in the context of Pokemon though!It's honestly more of just a "Magic/Fae" type. While a few gen 6 pokemon could fall into this category, some fairy types even then had actual ideas behind them that were far more in-depth than just "cute", like a Dryad, a Carbuncle, and a Tooth Fairy. Even some of the older mons who got the type, like Granbull (it's a Cu-Sith, a literal fairy dog) and Clefable (a pixie), have this apply to them. By Gen 7 practically every single fairy type introduced that gen were magical fae monsters with a reason for having the type, and come Gen 8 they're really knocked it outta the park.
If you don't like the type, all for you buddy, everyone has different tastes, but don't just ignore shit or pretend that things are different just to push your narrative. Grimmsnarl is just a gnarled troll who draws power from it's hair and is a cheap fighter despite it's strength because it's still a weak goblin at heart. It's not the most novel concept, but it's not a bad one either.
