Azumaril maxes out at 1/15/13 lvl 45 which isnt too much of an increase just about 3% That could change the outcome of matches but to me thats the game. You do ur beat to find the best then so.ething like this is implemented cuz now it gives all the try hards another thing to look for. I personally like this idea. Finally a buddy is worth something but its up to us to figure out which buddy we want to use. Now if it was the qhole team boosted then that would suck but i like u can only pick one. Its almost like an automatic counter cuz u know ur opponet will use thier beefed up buddy so its less of a gamble for the counter to it. u only loose the mirror if its an actual mirror and not a switch in so all ud have to do is not lead azumaril which she is a better closer anyways
