31) [MECHANICS] The Effectiveness of Bubblebeam




It’s not the water of the bubbles that hurt enemy Pokémon; it’s the moist air inside them.

Before firing, the Pokémon inhales. The air it gathers mixes with the water in its body and super compressed into bubbles.

But these bubbles can only hold for their orb-ness for about a second before popping. So the Pokémon spits them out as fast as it can, ergo like a beam.

When the bubbles pop, they actually explode and spread blasts of concentrated moist air at the target.
So bubblebeam is like a cloud of tiny grenades.

Pokemon saliva may act as an extra layer of thickness, which allows for higher air pressure.
