Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl spotlights Floatzel butt attack

Imagine this. You’re in the midst of a great Pokémon battle. Your opponent throws out Floatzel, a part-sea weasel that’s got a floatation device attached to its body. The trainer calls out Ice Beam, and as your Pokémon braces for the blow, Floatzel turns away from the battle, bends over, and shoots a beam of ice straight out of its ass.

Unfortunately I cannot conjure this scene in my horrendous brain. This actually takes place in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl. Players who have met Floatzel (and its earlier form, Buizel) in battle have been getting absolutely blasted by the Pokémon’s butt blows. Yikes.

The Pokémon Company seems to have left this special power out of Floatzel’s PokéDex entry. But the truth is, Floatzel’s always been like this — it’s not exactly new to Brilliant DiamondAnd Shining Pearl. Floatzel is the one who does it. Pokémon Go Original DiamondAnd Pearl, too. Brilliant DiamondAnd Shining PearlIt just makes it even more obvious. You can’t ignore the butt attack any longer.

Nintendo has, surprisingly, not responded to Polygon’s request for more information by publication time. The memes, however, are available.
