Go Puferfish

Go Puferfish is a Pokemon made in Batch 1 of our Fun Pokemon series. Infamous for always having been the series' most hopeless piece of trash.

Origins
Go Puferfish is a Pokemon based on the monster called Gobul from the Monster Hunter franchise. Gobul is a creepy and stealthy monster that hides in the sand of lakes and swamps, waits for a prey to come close, and then swiftly gobbles it up, hence its name. It can also suck hunters in with its mouth, flash at players with a light on its antennae, and a paralyze with a swipe of its tail. Here is a comparison of Go Puferfish's abilities to those of Gobul:


 * Whirlpool is Gobul using a strong sucking pull on the hunter into its mouth.
 * Thunder Wave is the paralyzing tail swipe it does when on land.
 * Confuse Ray is the flash Gobuls do from their light to stun the hunter.
 * Spiky Shield is the spikes coating Gobul all over, protecting it and also able to inflict damage through tackles and rolls.
 * Filter is Gobul filtering water through its body as regular fish do.
 * Wide Lens is the Gobul being able to see clearly in dark waters.

Strengths
Go Puferfish is able to use a variety of different status' to annoy the opponent. Her main strategy is crippling Pokemon as she chills from the sidelines. She has Thunder Wave and Confuse Ray to do just that, the former also drastically slowing the Pokemon down and the latter damaging the Pokemon. She also has Whirlpool to deal constant damage overtime, further accomplishing her goal. She has a Wide Lens to guarantee that Thunder Wave and Whirlpool hit. Spiky Shield is a very useful tool for both protecting herself when in danger and dealing even more damage to the opponents. Finally, in combination with her high HP and Spiky Shield, she has Filter to make sure to stay alive as long as possible.

Weaknesses
Unlike other support Pokemon, Go Pufferfish doesn't have a traditional attacking move, therefore making her much more of a sidekick to the killer. But this is essentially her role as a support Pokemon anyway so its not a big deal.

Trivia

 * Go Puferfish has to be the biggest example of a Fun Pokemon that used to be bad but was changed to be good. This Pokemon had the most changes done to her out of all Fun Pokemon we ever made. This is of course because no matter what we did, we just couldn't get her to be good, and believe us when we say we really tried. Before, her base Pokemon was a Qwilfish and tried to be some kind of Mario, using moves like Poison Jab, Dive, and Nuzzle, but her main problem was she did bad damage and was super fragile. Except this is after she got a rework and used to be even worse before then, having moves as terrible as Flash and for whatever ret@%ded reason had a Toxic Orb. Go Puferfish was so hopeless that Elloss was ready to give up on her, but Dworlock finally came through during the second rework period and, through his perseverance and unwillingness to give up, finally allowed the caterpillar to come out of its pupas into a beautiful butterfly. He is very proud of her now and will be excited to use her in Tournaments.
 * Go Puferfish's name is a pun, combining Go Fish with Pufferfish, the former being a joke and the latter since Gobul is part pufferfish.
