This datamine has been very disappointing in terms of new pokemon/ forms. I can't believe there aren't more Alolan forms and I'm very disappointed by the number of single evolutions and a lack of cross generation evolutions.

quick question, has it been confirmed that Triples and Rotations will NOT be returning in Sun and Moon? I haven't been able to find anything about that in the datamine info... but then again, there is a lot to go through.

Unfortunately, VGC'17 only includes mons for the Alolan dex. So Liepard wouldn't even be able to participate anyway.

Thank God Incineroar is NOT fire/fighting. I'm so proud of GF right now. EDIT: Also Rowlett's evo being GRS/GHT is amazing! So much more interesting than the typical GRS/FLY I thought it was going to be.

I read this with a stereotypical Asian accent and I died XD Nice job.

That's exactly what I'm getting at. Deoxys, Giratina, Rotom, the genies, Kurem, etc... many pokemon have different forms but only a single pokedex entry. Therefore, I'm kinda surprised that some people think we know all of the alolan forms due to the dex leak. That's why I was asking if indeed...

Has it been confirmed (and I use that term lightly) that we know all of the Alolan forms? For some reason I see people claiming that since we "assume" we know the entire pokedex, that means we also know all of the alolan forms. However, I've looked at the dex info quite a bit and there doesn't...

I guess. But that seems pretty farfetch'd for gf. I would probably have to agree that if the UB's have shiny's, then they are in fact considered Pokemon and will be obtainable at some point, Mythical or not. I also think the shire number of UB sprites would indicate that they are real pokemon...

Not sure why people think that Shiny UB confirms that they will be catchable. Gensect has a shiny and he wasn't catchable in Gen5. Same with Meloetta, Hoopa, Valcanion and many other mythical pokemon. UB's can still be mythical. (I would prefer they be catchable tho, as that is kinda the point...

I'm curious to see what you guys think of this (Sorry if it's already been posted, but I searched for any evidence of this on Smogon/ this thread for 30 mins and could not find anything). Apparently some people think that Gamefreak is removing Triple and Rotation battles...

I like the idea that HM's would be removed/ toned down. With the addition of PokeRide, it seems most rides could replace HM's. Alternatively, I've always been a fan of the idea to still have the HM moves, such as cut, surf, fly, etc... but to make them TM's instead, like they did with Flash...

Interestingly, I faced a team with a Moxie Honchkrow that kicked my butt with Sucker Punch. He brought it out late game to essentially guarantee the KO on my weakened monster and give himself the Moxie boost. One was all he needed to wreck havoc with my team. Me too. But I'm definitely gonna...

two of the teams I faced utilized stealth rocks, which broke my Cotts sash and demolished my Volc. I was very surprised. I had such a difficult time yesterday that I only played 4 matches before I had to quit. I could have went 3/1 if I simply clicked the correct move; I'm finding that my...

In addition to simply playing with an unfamiliar team, I've had horrible luck. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Actually played against some pretty competitive guys tho, which is a plus I guess.

Welcome! I also posted some PS moveset links just a few posts above this one. There, you can see what the most common movesets are for certain pokemon. If you see a mon on PS reply, I'd cross reference the mon with the moveset links to find out what their most common strategies are. Ctrl + F is...
