Let's Talk About Pokemon - Hisuian Decidueye


Yeah, I lift

Hisuian Decidueye:

And at last, we have the final regional form, none other than the last of our starters! Supposedly with the idea being this was before Decidueye was "extinct", it's now Grass/Fighting rather than Ghost! And it's surprisingly different, easily the most drastically different of the three starters, now even sporting more autumn-ey colors, puffier draw-strings, and shorter wings to give more emphasis to its legs, since kicking is part of its "thing" now, with a signature move featuring a combo of an axe kick and firing arrows.

Decidueye here now also sports an ayaigasa, traditional headwear for hunting samurai archers to fit in with the time period n' all. Is it a coincidence that Decidueye's feather pattern already looked a bit like deer pelt, or was that on purpose? Who knows!

Dunno if we personally like this look as much as default Decidueye, but still cool! It's easily the design that took the most getting used to out of all the regional forms, just given it is such a departure from regular Decidueye. Alolan Decidueye is still cooler, but this is cool too! The whole kicking thing also feels a bit like Decidueye's taking a bit after a secretary bird too. If indeed on purpose, we hope that doesn't rule out getting a proper secretary bird Pokemon, but still neat!

Personal Score: 8.5/10
