Isabelle (SSBU)/Pummel

Hitbox visualization showing Isabelle's pummel.

Overview

Isabelle's Pummel provides rather underwhelming damage output, but is still helpful in reducing move staling, achieving earlier KO's, and can manipulate percentile for Down throw strings, potentially improving her follow up options and their consistency.

As much of Isabelle’s kit has situational use cases, Isabelle particularly benefits from the move stale reduction it provides. As a result, utilizing her pummel as much as possible without letting the opponent break out of her grab is nearly always ideal.
