Cery/Popple

While Cery and Popple are adorable, they're garbage at pretty much everything. Cery-ously, never use this pet.

Their mobbing damage is outdone by Jinga and Redran, their bossing damage is nothing to write home about, and its PP Recovery is worse than that of Glass or Viola.

Popple Splode Popple Splode (20 PP)
Launch a projectile that deals damage in an area.

Also, Splode's projectile moves quicker the further you are from your target. Cursor aim mode is useful for this.
