SPOILERS! Pokemon Legends: Arceus *Leak Thread*
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
Hooooo boy. Now we're talking. That is a devil of a list.
- Psyshield Bash jives with Braviary's new visor, but it could also be Wyrdeer because Esper Wing is also a move.
- Stone Axe is known to be Kleavor's move.
- Infernal Parade absolutely stinks of Khu's riddle for Typhlosion, meaning Triple Arrows is for Decidueye and Ceaseless Edge is for Samurott.
- Bleakwind Storm, Wildbolt Storm, and Sandsear Storm all match up with the genies of healthy meta.
- Take Heart seems to agree with Enamorus, but as others have noted there is a fourth storm move.
- Bitter Malice is the only move that agrees with Zoroark.
- Only Goodra carries a Shelter.
- Barb Barrage is obviously Overqwil.
- I'll go out on a limb and say Mountain Gale belongs to the living mountain Avalugg.
- Chloroblast for Electrode.
- Victory Dance for Lilligant.
- Headlong Rush for Arcanine.
- Dire Claw for Sneasler.
- Lunar Blessing for Ursaluna.
- Wave Crash for Basculegion.

This makes me think it's a signature move of more than one Pokemon, such as maybe the pixie trio. Think Photon Geyser.
This is the same company that names their mons things such as Talonflame, Persian, and Mr. Mime. We've gotten used to bad naming conventions by now.
Frostbite is a new status, right? It makes sense they'd want to replace freeze given how much of a balance problem the latter has been historically.
NOT GAME FREAK GIVING LANDORUS A MOST LIKELY STRONGER VERSION OF SCORCHING SANDS WITH A GUARANTEED BURN CHANCE I HATE IT HERE

You know the worst thing about about "Talonflame"? "Fletchevron" was right fucking there.
Centro Leaks is posting the move data on their Twitter
Secondary effects are shown but IIRC no BP
"Shelter: The user makes its skin as hard as an iron shield, raising its defensive stats. Incoming moves also become more likely to miss."
What kind of asshole looks at Double Team and thinks "you know what this move is missing? Cosmic Power."

On something immune to Toxic, no less.

OH SHIT HELP FOR ICE TYPES??
NEW WEATHER: Snow Pokémon are more likely to get frostbite, and drowsy Pokémon are more likely to fail to act. The Speed of Ice-type Pokémon is also boosted.

This would also presumably indicate that Drowsy is being used to replace the immobilizing effect of Freeze when relevant.
Apparently there are a loooooooot of new status/weather conditions. So it's probably not a guarantee that most of these survive into whatever's next.
(I really hope Frostbite does, but then again I would've loved to see the reduction of special attack assigned to normal poison to help that type out, so whaddaya gonna do)

Giratina's is a straight remix, Dialga's and Palkia's are a lot more solemn, and idfk what's going on with Arceus's.
I look forward to fighting a stupid fast noble H-Avalugg in the snow.
(I don't know if Avalugg is a noble or not, I am just chuckling imagining a fast giagantic Avalugg trying to gore the player with its giant muttonchops)
Some takes:
1) The names are fine.
2) Palkia has always looked ridiculous. Horse Palkia is an improvement.
3) I think I'd actually prefer that regional variants stay region-exclusive, because that makes a little more sense lore-wise, but it isn't a strong preference.

SR dealing continuous damage seems like it would make it overall stronger, but I guess it depends how much damage. Makes sense for a game with no switching.
Special burn.
Tbh it didnt make sense that for so many years WoW, Scald, etc, was instakill against physical sweepers, but there wasnt any status condition that instakilled special users.
Hisuian Goodra banned from gen 9 OU in 3..2..1..
the only reason Poison sucks is because Toxic was made so widely accessible, which is a huge mistake I am glad GF has finally tried to address.
