I'd love if they just gave you a physical and special HP tutor that let you choose the type but that's unlikely isn't it xD

I haven't seen anyone mention Appletun getting Thick Fat, taking its crippling 4x Ice weakness to 2x and giving it a Fire resistance.

So happy for that chunky boi.

I'd still be interested to see if a Ripen set could work in the new meta, particularly with the stat boosting berries and recycle.

So, any news on how toxtricity gets his amped up form yet?

 

[Wishy]

The new menu/mini sprites look so good. They're not super squished and lacking detail anymore.

I'm more mad that dexit means we wont get these new mini sprites for all Pokemon for a few more generations probably lol.

 

[Shujinkō]

For those who won't check the datamine thread: Gardevoir is now in the Human-like Egg group in addition to its usual Amorphous egg group.

Game Freak knew exactly what they were doing.

So, any news on how toxtricity gets his amped up form yet?

Probably low-key gets minus and amped-up gets plus so don't hope for anything awesome. They seem to have 2 different moves, shift gear + venoshock or magnetic flux + venom drench. This is according to: https://www.diffchecker.com/BdvZjy84

It seems that certain pokemon on the wild radiating an aura overworld might come with egg moves and some of the IVs maxed

I love it, it's an evil snowman. And is that OG Darmanitan's eyebrow in place of a carrot nose? Oh my god this is great

Switching out as it belly-drums into this form and sweeps you is gonna be food for nightmares.

Wow, Falinks seems so adorable, it's like six little Kirbies all bundled up to---

For comparison

That's terrifying.

Are you putting 3 meters as the height of the big one's horn? That may be why it's so large.

I was using the little one, but even with the big horn one Falinks unit-thing is still taller than an average adult male.

I think it's more likely to take the "length" of all units staying next to each other ... or GF just went over the top with der Dex entries, again

It's probably off of length going from their overworld size

I think it's adding the size of all 6 failinks. So each is 0.5 m tall but all together are 3 m

 

[Sexual Fresh Green]

I refuse to accept the truth of tiny Falinks

You could put them on each other - a little, murderous tower of roman legion Kirby's

What a shame, I was looking forward to watching herds of giant Falinks waddle about the Wild Area.

... maybe not in the wild area (just thinking about a whole legion of this things ... cute <3), but you could Dynamax them at least.

 

[Bombkirby]

We've seen screenshots of an area where Falinks march across the path into little holes in the wall. They're not gigantic.

Has anyone seen pics of all the gym leaders? I would like to see them, especially the DARK TYPE GYM LEADER!!! Finally

Yes, they do look great - all in all, I think Raihan is maybe one of my favorite Gym Leaders of all time already
And yeah, finally dark type gym ... still feels like a dream <3
