SPOILERS! Legends ZA Data Dumps - Adding Info to OP
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
Just quietly writing "gamefreak so stupid i hate them so much" in my journal
Yeah but then uhhhhhh you always have to switch out and uhhhh cannot setup and ok maybe I'm stupid
"Draconite" was right there, man
Why would Draconite make any sense?
I mean, emergency exit would probably be a lot better if it had the same activation condition it does now, but just made it so that golisopod takes its turn immediately before switching instead of being the exact same as wimp out. Or if it made it immune to hazards.
This game marks the first time that Volt Tackle is a level up move for the Pikachu line, with all of them learning it at Level 99. Since it is the only Egg Move that cannot be passed between two individuals via Daycare method in Gen 8 or the Mirror Herb method in Gen 9 due to its unique requirements, I sincerely hope that they keep it as a level up move from now on.
I'm aware that HOME lets a member of the Pikachu line that knows Volt Tackle in one game to relearn it in another, but the individual in question must already know it or have had it tutored in Gen 7 or LA. This is important for any Pikachu in a cap since those cannot move into either Legends title. As such, they must have been tutored Volt Tackle in Alola or have known it when it was distributed, otherwise they cannot currently learn it.

The letter C doesn't appear in its name at all the hell
Yeah, it's got that thing going on a bunch of Transformers and non-Transformer transforming toys have where a big chunk of one form is just sort of hanging off it in the other and it looks terrible.
Also made a tierlist
Weird number of new megas that feel like Gigantimax forms to me, turns out. Also Skarmory would be up in "understood the assignment" if not for the giant clown feet, I can't take it seriously after that picture someone posted in here of it standing on the ground.
Is it cool that there are some NPC using more than 1 Mega?
Your Rival uses 3, Emma 2 I believe.

So do you think Meowstic, Tatsugiri and Magearna will be sharing same Mega for all forms (Pyroar style)?
Makes one wonder if M-Tatsugiri will work with Dondozo.

Of all of those I feel Meowstic should have a different Mega based on form given they have separate playstyles
It's GF we are talking about.
Remember Appletun and Flapple G-max forms?
I'm wondering if Mimi will Evolve and Mega Evolve.
I mean every G-max played the same. Megas can play very differently
Based on the fact that there is form data for each of Magearna's forms and each of Tatsugiri's forms I would expect them to have different megas. They're probably all very similar in design, but may have some other differences between them, such as ability or variations in stat spread. While original color Magearna is just a palette swap of modern magearna, I could see GF giving their megas a functional difference.
Meowstic, on the other hand, only seems to have data for a single form, so I would guess that either i) the two forms share a mega like pyroar, despite playing differently, or ii) only one sex gets the mega .
I've thought about it more and I do think that the reason Tatsugiri will account for its different forms is because of Commander. Either it just keeps Commander and they want to have Order Up read the form properly or it gets Super Commander and now there's extra effects per each one.
I am still less sure about Magearna.
Especially because I just keep looking at the form list
Original Color isn't scrubbed out. And I'm still not sure why there's 5 places here. Even with Mega OC Magearna that'd only account for 3 spots. Scrapped ideas?
GMax Melmetal (809 is its number 999 is the form marker for GMAX). The form list lists all forms.
Here's from later in the list. If they list the ZKN_FORM thing that means that (at least as far as we know) they're not going to be in the DLC. So when I say "scrubbed" i just mean they got rid of that. There's probably a better term for it, I'll admit.
e: Anyway that's what makes the Magearna thing seem very odd to me.

I mean the only differences between the two
Well, one of them's Mega Zeraora. We already know for a fact that Mega Zeraora is a thing, and Zeraora is between Magearna and Melmetal.
I neglected to list off Zeraora, but that was part of "my account for 3 spots" quip
Mega Magearna
Mega Magearna OC
Mega Zeraora
Without the Original Color mega it'd only be two.
only thing I can think of, assuming nothing was scrapped or is out of order, is maybe someone of Magearna, Marshadow, Zeraora or Melmetal just get new non-mega forms in addition to Mega Magearna(s) & Mega Zeraora
Speaking about Meowstic. Does Urbain/Taunie differ based on gender choice of the MC?
Actually how would Commander even work in LZA. This game doesn't do doubles/tag battles right?
I guess there will just be no interaction between Tatsugiri and Dondozo in here, makes me somewhat skeptical Mega Tatsugiri will have anything to do with it

It depends. I saw some missions where you fight 5 Floette at once so who knows. Maybe Dondozo will swallow all 3 Tatsu, 1 being Mega.
Also thinking from Champions perspective.
