Primarina's is interesting. Water-STAB Hyper Voice sounds pretty good, right?

Heh, pretty ironic that Decidueye ended up being the fastest final starter despite receiving the most complaints about its speed.
Looking forward to using all of these in game.
Eh, it honestly seems somewhat decent given how popular of an item Rocky Helmet is in OU. Avoiding Static and Flame Body are nice perks too.

I've heard they're short of room in hell
leech life has 80 base power now????? woah. Actually, wait, it still sucks ass, nothing any good gets it. No Scizor, Escavalier, Heracross, or anything like that.
also - liquid voice is worthless if it doesnt have the buffing effect -ate abilities have.

By the way, some fun additional confirmation: Dark void NERFED. Accuracy lowered to 50%, and ONLY USABLE BY DARKRAI.

On the bright side of Decidueye's ability, no contact means no Flame Body or Static procs, and it can flat out ignore Rocky Helmet and Chesnaught. Not an OU ability, but nice to see in UU where bulkier mons are more common place.
Leech Life has 80 BP?! That makes it the strongest draining move outside of Oblivion Wing! And its such a common move...

Wasn't Baton Pass changed in Gen 5 where the Trapping Effect can no longer be passed?
Even so, this still meaning trapping and opponent a setting up on them. It's solid.
From Kaphotics' video:
Looks like Swagger got nerfed to 85 accuracy
One of the new TMs is Brutal Swing, 60 BP physical dark move that sounds like a target-all move from its description
Interestingly while Incineroar gets Throat Chop, that sniping move and Aurora Veil don't seem to be on Decidueye or Primarina, unless I'm being blind

Sucker Punch has 70 Base Power now. Look at the BP when the Decidueye line's moves are scrolling.
It's more likely all instances of leech life have been moved to the mid or later levels
maybe it will get replaced with absorb where applicable
When I hoped Decidueye would be the fastest starter among the three, this is not what I had in mind...
TM59 is Brutal Swing, a 60 BP Dark-type physical move that hits everything in the vicinity. What a meh TM :I
Decidueye gets Defog; everyone's gonna be scrambling for this pre-Bank release again.
RIP Sucker Punch Incineroar, but 85 BP Darkest Lariat and 80 BP Throat Chop are strong STAB moves to fall back on.
Primarina gets Water Hyper Voice, Moonblast, Ice Beam, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Energy Ball!? GF keeps showering their Water-types with too much damn love >.< At least it's the only one of the trio to not get Nasty Plot.

There's more to Z-Moves than just single-target nukes. i.e. Z-Splash grants +3 Attack Z-Destiny Bond redirects all attacks to the user
YESSSSSS based Splash.
In fact, every status move not named Nature Power, Metronome, or Assist has an additional side effect when used as a Z-Move.

You know what is this? The STAB Boomburst legacy continues in Other Metagames (where it gives custom moves obviously). Who cares that it doesn't give x1.3 boost like -ates. The fact that now you can have 140 BP Water type move other than Water Spout (which has less BP if you get hit by Stealth Rock) is impressive and I can see it being abused in Sketchmons, BH, AAA, etc.
Remember that Leech Life is a TM now. So it may have good distribution.

oh, sick! I imagine it will be a good addition to a lot of physical bug type's movepools. Mega Heracross always wanted some healing.
Z-Splash gives +3 ATK
...Splash Gyarados new meta guys! Kappa

Z-Happy Hour Contrary Malamar, simply epic.
Also worth noting that Azumarill gets Splash, so it can basically use half-belly drum without consuming any health.
