Appa

Appa is a Pokemon made in Batch 4 of the Fun Pokemon.

Origins
Appa is inspired from the character Appa from the show Avatar: The Last Airbender who is Aang's faithful Flying Bison. Appa and Aang have a close relationship and Aang cares deeply for him, Appa in return protects Aang from attackers. Here is the breakdown of his abilities:


 * Brave Bird is Appa flying through the sky.
 * Head Charge is Appa charging at someone, or something, with his head.
 * Agility is Appa dodging any onslaught of flaming projectiles being launched at them while they are in the air.
 * Yawn is Appa when yawning, surprisingly something he does a lot in the show.
 * Rock Head is Appa having a very sturdy head, enabling him to charge at things with it to break or launch it.
 * Leftovers is the leftover dinner that Aang saved for Appa to eat.

Strengths
Appa is a great pick for a less traditional tough guy to use. His prime strength is his ability Rock Head which negates any recoil damage, therefore making Brave Bird and Head Charge do lots of damage with 0 drawbacks. He is also semi-bulky and can tank one or two hits, especially with Leftovers. In addition, he has Agility so he can have a speed advantage over other slow Pokemon. Finally, he has Yawn to put opponents to sleep, making Appa have status potential as well.

Weaknesses
Appa's main weakness is he is slow and only a little bulky, so he can have disadvantages over those more speedy or bulky than him. He is able to fix the first problem, but it requires a set up turn. The second problem can't be fixed so Appa might have to think smart to stand a chance.

Trivia

 * Appa went through quite the transformation since his release, initially having moves that didn't fit him at all. The funniest example is Roar of Time which not only doesn't fit him but is a bad move in general, so it was changed later on to Boomburst which is a good move but still didn't address the core issue of Appa being physical. In the second major rework, Appa finally got the good moveset he always desired (and no special moves in it).
 * Both Appa and his girlfriend, Freshmilk, are similar to each other in that they are both bulky, both use Yawn, and are both cow/buffalo/bison Pokemon. You know what they say, like boyfriend like girlfriend.
