Pokemon Scarlet & Violet - 18th Nov 2022! **OFFICIAL INFO ONLY**

[Coronis]

Honestly speaking... no

Something that I saw pointed in random youtube videos a few days ago, with Champions coming out, Mythicals will not be locked out by "being there for events" anymore. Most likely you'll be able to "buy" any pokemon with enough grinding just by playing.

This means, Myths may at some point be part of official formats. They've been tackling with it on "non-relevant" seasons so far, but with Champions coming, it's not completely impossible that we eventually get official score-valid formats with Mythical mons allowed. And we want nothing of unnerfed Dark Void there.

I meant only in reference to singles, but hey either way.

I meant only in reference to singles, but hey either way.

The main thing is that GameFreaks (for somewhat understandable reasons) are against having "different mechanics in singles/doubles" because it's unintuitive.

The only differing mechanic is as we know, the dmg spread / screens having reduced effectiveness, but otherwise they don't want people going through their mostly single battle focused game be confused when their moves have different effects once they transition to postgame and double battles focused PvP.

Ofc they could also just... actually have proper descriptions for what moves do and how things work but... we know they hate being precise about game mechanics apparently. *looks at EV/IVs being basically ignored for generations until they *finally* got a proper numeric showing in Champions*
