About Feraligatr, yeah. Encourage + Speed + Free LO Boost = sorry Daikenki. Uh...I guess we cross our fingers then for Shell Smash in the future.
Also, Dai means "large", so..."large energy sword". Hurr.

Daikenki's name seems to come from 大 dai, meaning large, and 剣 ken, meaning sword. Similarly 大剣 taiken also means large or long sword. The latter half of the name, kenki, may also come from 剣鬼 – a word used to refer to a very skilled swordsman, literally meaning sword-wielding demon.
