>>33647267Things about totem pokemon that could have been done better:
Gumshoos: -Gumshoos had super fang while while Yungoos had hyper fang, this should have been the other way around as it makes more sense for the support pokemon to have a support move like that (though since it was the first battle it may have been done to make it easier)
Wishiwashi: -The school form of Wishiwashi has soak despite the fact that it hurts it more than it helps it, meaning it gets rid of STAB but it also makes the player resist it's best and only attack.
-Regular Wishiwashi is one of it's partners and the only helpful thing it does is helping hand since it has 2 attacks and aqua ring, since it's so weak these are basically a waste (Though this might be done for balancing since Alomomola is arguably the best SOS for any of the totems)
Salazzle: -Not that bad, it does get weird moves and it's SOS partner gets scratch but they both support each other well with poison gas, venom drench, and venoshock. Though, this is more of a poison trial despite the fact that it looks like a fire trial.
-You get Waterium-Z before this trial, which makes it way easier
Lurantis: -Lurantis' moveset consists of 2 grass moves and a bug move, making fire types even better against it since it has a sunny day theme to the fight
-Castform can set the sun for lurantis to become even more powerful. However, it runs water gun for some odd reason. You could say this is for fire types, but water gun doesn't do anything from castform especially in the sun and honestly it helps fire types even more. (This is probably done to balance things since lurantis under sun, especially when the player has no fire types, is a monster)
-You get the firium-Z before this battle, making it even easier to one shot lurantis with a fire move.
