There was a reason why the original artist intended for it to be Water/Fighting. Because its appearance alluded to a clown/jester, but had attributes of a acrobatic strongman.
Actually, it kinda reminds me of how Primarina isn't just a mermaid/siren looking thing that dances, because it adds singing to the repertoire. (Brionne didn't had a hint of singing whatsoever, more dancing)
Putting Pinnister's former stage (Gigglio?) and Brionne together, they remind me of a duet of ballet dancers (ballerina and ballerino [ballet boy] respectively). Kinda uncanny.
