No, but seriously, unless she gets either serene grace OR aurora veil as exclusive move, she's going to be shit. She has no niche. Tapu Fini has the exact same typing with probably similar/better movepool and better ability.

Didn't mention anything about doing more damage on burned victims, though. I seriously hope that it does that, though.

that usually doubles the power thought. if it doubles the power of the move used like those variants i could see it, but whose dumb enough to run two water type moves with one only having a 30% chance to burn. also i doubt popmaid is getting will-o-wisp.

Is it a Water move or a Fairy move?

I'm not sure if its confirmed, but seeing as the other two are clearly Ghost and Dark moves it seems strange it wouldn't be Fairy

whats the problem? Oh and water/fairy are awesome offensively as well as defensive. Aside from its signature move I don't see a problem here.

Fini looks like it will be a speedy attacker, it outspeed Magmar who has 93 base speed, so there's no need to worry about there being any overlap between Primarina and her.

In the japanese trailer we actually see the attack dealing damage to an aerodactyl and we see its HP going down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuiDXEK3lL4

I made some calcs assuming Primarina SpA attack is 105, it has neutral nature and no EVs in all. To K.O aerodactyl the attacks has to have in least 80 base power.

I honestly would had like seeing Primarina hit something with better defenses to do a better speculation.

This one is gonna be a little of a stretches but in the trading card game Primarina has the strongest not GX attack of the starters. If only we could read the name of the attack.

Why nobody is thinking that Primaria signature move may be able to hit multiple targets?

By the animation it really look like a move that hit multiple targets.

The burn heal is likely a downside added to compensate for high damage. Based on the name, the attack could also be sound based.

Because their BST will most likely be 580, and besides Bulu, because of it's typing, none of them have glaring flaws. Hell, psy/fairy and water/fairy are both amazing.
