æʃliŋ, loaf of autismo @aescling@cat.family

sometimes when her pontential is dowplayed it's phrased as her not really having cheese like the current meta does. which is kinda true, but i think her x-factor potential is a little bit slept on. shield breaker is really strong in ultimate and gives you conditioning fur free

this sounds petty but it is almost validating to me that some ultimate players these days don't think she's even high tier anymore. i adamantly believe she was never really that much better than marth and it's at least consistent to think both of them are not good

@vaporeon_ yes. "rika" is purresumably short fur "paprika" (i did not catch this until i saw it suggested on bulbapedia)

i'm not sure why they call her that tbh; in the game she's pretty chill, if maybe a bit intimidating

@vaporeon_ i wonder if the subs will user her japanese name, Chili. anyway she's one of the elite four in paldea

@vaporeon_ rika's clodsire is in the anime so you'll definitely see one eventually
