>>29797694Well, azumarill is OU, and it had access to Huge power before they decided they needed to tone down the new pokemons. If primarina had a proper ability,she wpuld have been at least top tier on RU. Give her recovery and boomburst, who knows where would she be? The point is, they had no option if they wanted to make a average mon.
Yeah, the ability is completely stupid, it is an -ate move without the boost and with every normal move(and disarming voice), but the decidueye got a pretty mediocre one too( better than primarina's, but still average), so it is not a isolated case of "this pokemon is too good'' since owl's typing isn't good, it is more that they are making pokemons more mediocre, with minor exceptions(salazzle, UBs, Topus, etc.).
