Decidueye got a fairly good move pool, for a grass-type that is. Be happy it learns stuff beyond its typing. The dumb part about it is making it a SLOW Mixed Attacker with average stats all across the board.

What? Grass types have a history of learning ONLY grass and normal moves. Coverage is an issue for almost all of them.

the SuMo starter designs and types made no sense outside of Primarina. Incineroar was obviously designed to be another Fire/Fighting, and Decidueye should have stayed Grass/Flying.

In terms of battle, most Pokémon are LORE based. Pokémon who are good in battle are just lucky. In fact the entire franchise might just be that, a happy accident. Except maybe G1&2 which were Satoshi Tajiri's Autism simulator

Pokemon was initially designed around a singleplayer experience with trading, battling, and other multiplayer options thrown on top of it throughout the years. However, when they tried to "balance" or better accommodate for multiplayer it somehow started to get even worse.

I haven't paid Pokemon much attention since the end of Gen V. Did Flareon ever get a good physical fire type move to make use of its typing and stats these past few generations, or is it still stuck with (I think) Flame Wheel at best?

To be fair, Mega Venusaur is doing better than either Charizard. Due its typing and defensive nature it is more resilient to the pass of time. Unless we talk about VGC were Zard-Y is one of the best megas now that Mega Mom got nerfed

Ditto is still a thing. Breed Egg-Moves into starters is hard than it should be. I guess, that is not really a problem for the average player or for Delphox since none of its Egg Moves are relevant, well Heat Wave is good for doubles, Wish is good but Delphox can’t abuse it. It is very annoying on things that really want those egg moves, like DD on Charmander and Totodile. With enought patience you can just reroll for a female. The 87.5% male meme is even worse on Combee and Salandit, only the females evolve, making it really bothersome to get either of their evos and they aren’t particularly strong either, just hard to get.

Incineroar is based of "heels" in wrestling, who are basically the villains of the wrestling world, hence the Dark typing. Decidueye is based off the pueo owl, which are considered manifestations of ancestor spirits in Hawaii, hence the Ghost typing.
