Once again, natural conclusion to a Pokemon who started with throwing razor leafs that then became quill blades. They really focused on it being a stealthy arrow sniper: isn't heard even among a crowd, fast at picking arrow/drawing/aiming/shooting, can shoot far & bend trajectory, and is a sitting duck if spotted/taken by surprise. Out of all their designs I like this one of the best, it just feels like its a proper conclusion with no twist to it (and doesn't look like it was designed by a kid).

But there's enough reasoning to it (super stealthy, based on extinct Stilt Owl, it prevo was an emo with access to blades.) even if its not a direct answer, plus its a better typing than Grass/Flying so that's a plus. If I were to speculate on it's hidden Ability, it'd be Pixilate so it could use Pixilate Hyper Voice.ĭecidueye: Was not expecting a type change, especially not to Grass/Ghost. Sparkling Aria seems to have an overly-specific effect though, and seems like it will only by useful in doubles. I don't see people using it over Crunch though because of Crunch's potential def drops. I imagine Darkest Lariat is just a Sacred Sword clone, but there's nothing bad about 90 BP STAB. Love that it also competes with Houndoom for typing, since Fire/Dark is relatively unexplored. It's basically Thousand Waves with a less common immunity, which means Decidueye will be an amazing pivot solely for the reason anything that switches into it will not be able to switch-out (that and its typing gives it many, many switch opportunities even with the middling bulk "frail" starters tend to get.) My initial reaction to Decidueye's name was difficulty in pronouncing it, since "Deciduous" is not a common word. I believe this is a new effect fot Grassy Terrain. So basically, Tapu Bulu is 4x resistant to Ground attacks save oddities like Drill Run, "Mud" moves, and Highhorse Power.

You may have missed it, but under Tapu Bulu when it's describing Grassy Terrain it also says it halves the damage of Earthquake, Magnitude, and Bulldoze. Even the leaked moves from the demo didn't include these ones, which leaves me to believe there was other information they left out, possibly including new Pokemon. Give credit to where it's due - even with people totally dedicated to getting every piece of info on SuMo ever, they have consistently managed to surprise us at every single turn.
