I may be wrong, read it when I was sleepy, but if I recall correctly Griffintaur has a base speed of 100 mph that can be amped by a fifth of the base with every 'reserve'. I believe it either takes or lasts five minutes, either way that's a long time considering how many fights resolve in mere seconds. At worst you'd likely be looking at a 140 mph enemy with the pride buff stacked, unless you decided to be silly and grant him more time to power up.

It's basically a way of pressuring opponents into going on the offensive. I don't believe in 'overpowered' characters, only bad matchups and poorly defined tournaments. Any character can be 'overpowered' if you put them up against a sufficiently weaker opponent.
