User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Coral Pukei-Pukei/@comment-25119729-20200208140111

Coral has a better fight than standard Pukei-Pukei, has imo a better color scheme, has a more interesting moveset and way better equipment already by the fact it is finally a water monster than Jyuratodus. Really the only thing negative I can say about it is the fact that removing its tail is almost a waste because of how many moves it loses when it is cut off.

If Coral Pukei-Pukei had a moveset change after its tail was cut off, it would be a good example of how to do a subspecies right.
