I think they meant to make him a water type but then forgot to implement it

Because there are mutiple people who program Pokemon for battles in Gamefreak.

You have the guy who tries to keep Pokemon from being overpowered and then you have the guy who min maxes the Pokemon he's put in charge of.

It's why you get shitmons like him and MIN MAX SHIT like G-Darm

I think you're supposed to use fucking Brutal Swing with Technician? In Doubles? Not saying that's a good idea, but I think that's what they're going for.

They'll patch it in a later gen. Like Liquidation Kingler and Shell Smash Blastoise.

Both Grapploct and Falinks are begging for a second typing.
It sucks because they're two of the best designs in Gen 8.

Kinda unfair
>Power Up Punch solid 60 bp
>Circle Throw 90 bp phasing move
>Revenge more reliable with either 90 or 120 bp
>Payback also more reliable either 75 or 100 bp
>Brutal Swing is almost a Dark Earthquake
>Feint at 45 bp (almost pre-nerf level)

I just wonder why this guy didn't get Sunction Cups when they clearly had an ability slot open for it...?

I really doubt it.

What's more likely is that GF felt Galar had too many water types (Inteleon line, Drednaw line, Barraskewda line, Cramorant, Dracovish, and Arctovish, that's 10 Pokemon, or over 10% of the new Pokemon), so they removed the water typing from Grapploct and Clobbopus, maybe Pincurchin too.

Because they gave it Octolock. Suction cups would have made it redundant.

You're thinking of Jaw Lock I think. Octolock only traps in the target. Suction Cups would prevent it from being phased out by Red Card and the like.

I don't have the games. I thought I had seen all the new Pokemon, but apparently not. It feels weird to see a new one.

Gamefreak does seem to prefer the "make Pokemon subpar first then buff later if needed" strategy of balance. This is okay I guess, but it is certainly much more boring. I definitely prefer the "make it a little OP, then back it off if it proves to be too much" strategy. Shakes up the Battle scene and gets people to try the new mons.

There has to be someone who has final say on these things and there's clearly some outline of what new Pokemon they want to be good like the Psuedo and what new mons they want to be on the weaker side like Thievul. I don't think they give individuals complete control over the stats of each new mon, that would be absurd and irresponsible.

This, Game Freak has been known to remove Pokemon or change their types when there's already too many of that type being introduced.

I.E. The Lilligant line had a stage removed because there were too many Grass types, Stunfisk was changed from Water/Electric to Ground/Electric for a similar reason, and the Frillish line had Ghost tacked on for the sake of having more Ghost types.

Where did you see this?
Wasn't Lilligant the counterpart to Whimsicott, which also was only two stages?

This was said by Game Freak themselves in a magazine interview about the development of Black and White.

Don't forget Psyduck losing out on the psychic typing in gen 1 because there were two other lines.
