SPOILERS FOR MOVES AND STATS

Jesus Christ this is a clusterfuck.

Incineroar beats Decidueye, but Decidueye beats Primarina, and Primarina beats Incineroar.

This is expected tbh.

But here's the fun bit, stats and moves.

Lets start with probably the MOST fucked Starter: Incineroar. Incineroar probably has the best bulk and has the best Attack, however there's one thing. Decidueye can fuck it over with one move: Feather Dance. Incineroar's best way of hitting hard, its high attack stat, immediately gets cut in half, making it basically useless. On top of that, Decidueye also has healing moves, Brave Bird, and Pluck.

But if Decidueye can't harm Incinearor that much, Primarina fucking can. Primarina can hit ti with Hydro Pump and Bubble Beam, which undeniabely would KO Incineroar, or at least the former move would.

Now it's Decidueye VS Primarina. (How ironic that what are the two best starters this gen competitive wise are the two that will fight for the win)

And it's obvious Decidueye takes it, and not because of a type advantage.

The only move Primarina can abuse to hurt Decidueye is Moonblast, while Decidueye has Spirit Shackle, Leaf Blade, Brave Bird, and Razor Leaf. Here comes the stats, by the way, as comparing Decidueye's physical attack to Primarina's physical defense, the seal Madonna is screwed.

Primarina has average HP and subpar defense, as opposed to Decidueye who has multiple moves that can end her. Again, enter Leaf Blade.

Now lets say the battle takes longer then expected, and Decidueye is on the brink of collapse. How dandy is it that Decidueye has Synthesis as a reliable recovery and Primarina has none.

It's an uphill battle in the beginning with all three, but Decidueye wins out in the end.
