Pokemon Name: Pottaishi
Type: Water
Classification: Penguin
Pokedex Number: 008 Sinnoh / 394 National
Abilities: Torrent - Increases the strength of Water-type attacks when HP is low
Location Found: Evolve from Pocchama
Useful Attacks: Salt Water
Pocchama, the cutest of the three starters, is growing up, and headed into the awkwardness of puberty. A crown-like protrusion grows from his beak, suggesting noble aspirations, and his stats improve, but many of Pottaishi's moves are still weak. One possible exception is Saltwater, a reasonably powerful Water attack that doubles in power if the user's hit points are low. Combined with Pottaishi's natural Torrent ability, this move can be devastating in a pinch. Strangely, when Pocchama evolves into Pottaishi, he learns Metal Claw. Perhaps this otherwise out-of-place move hints of things to come?
