Overview

Granpah is an offense-oriented control Tem that can both slow down the game with its support options or speed it up with its offensive moves. The combination of Hypnosis, Willpower Drain, and strong wind moves on one moveset enables this, as a properly setup Granpah can deny the opponent their turn or just outright maim them. Both traits enable situational damage boosts, allowing its special wind moves to sting more depending on which player has the advantage. However, Granpah lacks offensive type coverage, so any Tem that resists wind can only be handled via drain's exhaustion or ignored via sleep.

(DUKE'S 1.3 NOTES - TORNADO OR HYPOXIA REPLACE HKS, AND NOW GRANPAH HAS AN ALTERNATIVE PLAYSTYLE AS A BULLY WIND BURST BLASTER ALONGSIDE TEMS THAT ACCRUE STATUSES, SUCH AS TULCAN, TUWIRE, OR AKRANOX)

With the increased speed stages added to the game in 0.9.3, Granpah has gained an improvement to damage that's further amplified by a buffed Turbo Choreography. Granpah is the quintessential Hyperkinetic Strike sweeper, a bulky bird with one of the hardest typings to hit for 2x, that gives Turbo synergy, and has Hypnosis to help defend itself.

Granpah struggles with its stamina, so Fake Beard, Sweatband, or Matcha are great gears for it. Hand fan can also amp your damage, but sheesh Granpah needs stamina. 

Buffing up Granpah's defenses and speed is a priority, so Kinu and Pigepic are great partners.
