Interesting! That's quite close to the japanese for missing number (ketsuban), I do wonder if that's on purposeThe internal names for the two placeholder Pikachu's (980 and 987) are:

My thoughts exactly, right down to the Francevillian Biota.Notable stuff:
That seals it; the box legends are also from the Books (of IMO dubious veracity), even if they aren't strictly speaking also from paranormal/dubious magazines. On another note, do we count the box legends as Paradox Pokemon, too?
Assuming the Pokéverse of SV has a paleontological history roughly like ours, animals like Scream Tail weren't around 1 billion years ago. You had to wait until less than 700 million years ago for animals. (Intriguingly, there are findings of disc-shaped collections of perhaps Cyanobacteria from around 2.1 billion years ago, members of the Francevillian Biota...)
Sweet sheesh, that magazine even broke verisimilitude.
I'm now on page 220-something with a hundred more to go.When you're on page 100-something of this thread and there are currently 195 pages:

The r is likely for "regional", while UPAA is Wooper, and then 2 for being the evolved stage.The internal names for the two placeholder Pikachu's (980 and 987) are:

Very straightforward, either A or B depending on the game version, plus the Japanese names of the Pokémon they are based on. The Iguanas are the box legends.Here are some others, for the other paradox Pokemon:

That's most likely the case, it would be one way to romanize ketsuban.Interesting! That's quite close to the japanese for missing number (ketsuban), I do wonder if that's on purpose
Probably AV or steel boosting item actually. It's not really going to do any damage outside the hammer hit so may as well double up with utilityHi!
First of all, congrats for the discoveries and an amazing thread
Tinkaton finally as no special item for herself à la Marowak or Pikachu, no? So what item would you recommend for it ingame, not competitive? I was thinking just a regular Fairy attack booster would be enough.
Thanks!
I wonder if they had the idea that they'd have "boss Paradoxes" but not which Pokemon they'd be based on, so called them DEV_AAAAA and DEV_BBBBB as placeholder names.Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant being DEV_AAAAA and DEV_BBBBB respectively makes think they were selected and designed later than the other paradox mons, likely to round out the two different sets of paradox pokémon.
someone should test if it's like lagging tail where it's last in individual speed bracket or is -5 like dragon tail etc- rage power likely worksI believe it. The Toedscruel line was poorly conceptualized. I mean, Toedscruel has Rage Powder which it can't even use. Seems pretty clear that they made Toedscruel without considering what that would mean, then slapped Mycelium Might on it as an patch job because someone realized Spore might be oppressive on a 100 speed stat.
gonna be crazy hard to tell i feel likeIt's worth noting that Skill Link does have special interaction with Triple Kick/Axel, bypassing the accuracy check for later hits if the first one lands. Dice might still do something.
anyone find this yet?Has it been confirmed that the snowstorm effect makes Blizzard 100% accurate like Hail yet? I'd be surprised if it didn't, but I haven't seen it mentioned.
Why didn't these guys get Mega Launcher/Sharpness? Armarouge even has access to numerous pulse moves, so it's not like with Magmortar who doesn't have access to pulse moves. Ceruledge would have helped showcase Sharpnesss in Gen 9 Pokemon, and we haven't gotten a new Mega Launcher Pokemon since Gen 6, so why not these abilities than Weak Armor?
I would be very surprised to ever see another pokemon that isn't a shitmon get Shadow Tag.Or Magic Guard and Shadow Tag.
Similarly-but-not-quite, I think we're not going to see any pokemon in future with Mega Launcher.Why didn't these guys get Mega Launcher/Sharpness?

Well uuuh...I think people wanted version exclusives? I'm currently looking at the encounter tables.
At least 46(?) species/forms are exclusive to either games.
Since I'm only looking at encounter tables, things like Tyranitar probably aren't in the list - rather, it would be Larvitar or Pupitar.Well uuuh...
Taking the legendaries and paradoxes (which is 7+1)
Adding the known version exclusives from this image (15 each counting preevolutions),
View attachment 465721
that accounts for 23... which doubles makes 46.
Sounds about right?
These can actually spawn though. I've definitely seen fully evolved pokes around, usually as teralized spawns. (not raids, actual regular fights that happen to be teralyzed)Since I'm only looking at encounter tables, things like Tyranitar probably aren't in the list - rather, it would be Larvitar or Pupitar.
There are no encounters for Tyranitar in the tables, so I imagine those are handled differently?These can actually spawn though. I've definitely seen fully evolved pokes around, usually as teralized spawns. (not raids, actual regular fights that happen to be teralyzed)
Interesting, makes me wonder then what the potential extras are... either they're forms (but, none of the pokes in that list have forms...), like idk, maybe the Tauros forms?, or maybe there's other version exclusives missing from that list?There are no encounters for Tyranitar in the tables, so I imagine those are handled differently?
Tauros actually does have two version exclusive forms, I'm still formatting the lists but I'll post them soon.Interesting, makes me wonder then what the potential extras are... either they're forms (but, none of the pokes in that list have forms...), like idk, maybe the Tauros forms?, or maybe there's other version exclusives missing from that list?
