I'll allow it. For this time.i know, i was joking
(look, we get enough questionable comments nowadays that we have to assume that people are serious >_>)
yeah its less fire starters and more that Emboar is the worst fire starter and mega emboar continues that trend, lol
Its just them agreeing with the fanbase that Emboar is the worst starter and it can never be saved.
this just in mold breaker cancels out contrary
mega emboar looked at serperior and knew he had it going good for too long so he got extra points in special defense AND said fuck you to contrary

No? Unless Champions changed something the only interaction Mold Breaker has with Contrary is that the Mold Breaker user's moves inflict their intended effects. Emboar isn't using moves that do that, and Mold Breaker has no effect on the Contrary users moves.
For us westerners this is 5 PM PDT / 8 PM EDT TOMORROW
Yes, you can transfer it in. Mega Magearna even has a variation and dex entry with it.
Now might be a good time to remind everyone that according to the official site, moving a Pokémon from HOME into this game will prevent it from moving back to previous games. I'm sure that HOME will give you the same warning it does when you try to move a Pokémon from LGPE into a Gen 8+ game, but just posting it in case anyone missed that disclaimer.
I assume once it goes back into Home, it can transfer to future games though. Just not back to Scarlet, or Sword, and whatnot.
I see no reason not to expect so. When the news originally dropped, there actually were some claiming that it could mean Pokémon moving into Legends Z-A would be trapped there forever as there was no mention of them being able to move to future titles afterwards, but I still think that was a silly conclusion to draw from the disclaimer.
Are you sure about that? I thought Pokémon from SV or Z-A can go back and forth
The only forms not available natively are the 17 other Vivillon forms, Roaming Gimmighoul and Original Magearna. All these forms have a unique Pokedex entry.
Nope. Pokemon can’t go to any currently released game if they are from or have been transferred to Legends ZA.
They will be able to be used in Champions iirc.
Good to see that the game is finally getting Home support, though it is odd how they announced it just one day in advance. I didn't think it would happen until June or something, so this was a lot earlier than expected, which is nice. I wonder when there will be a reward for completing the Lumiose/Hyperspace dexes in Home, and what it will be?
Probably shiny Diancie and Hoopa
My ideal would be for the Lumiose Dex to reward Shiny Eternal Floette since when the hell else are they going to have a fitting chance to release it, and Shiny Hoopa for the Hyperspace Dex — but since they didn’t do separate rewards for each Pokédex in SwSh or SV, I think it’ll just be one or the other.
I do wonder if they'll delay giving out the shiny, though. Like they really shouldn't considering it already took this long to get the update to begin with, but it's the first new game since they started doing this (which was well after Indigo Disk) so who knows how much "breathing room" they want to add
Only 2 new abilities were revealed from the datamine. The rest are unknown for now until those corresponding Megas get added into Champions. Figured this would be fine here since it relates to Z-A Megas.

Piercing Drill: Like Unseen Fist but only deals 25% damage through protection moves.
Spicy Spray: If the Pokémon takes damage, the attacker always gets burned.
Piercing Drill sounds disappointing unless there's some additional effects. Like does it at least lift the Protect so in a Double Battle a slower partner can hit the opponent? Also sounds like something Rhydon and Rhyperior could also get (maybe also Dunsparce family?). And while I guess it's okay for an Excadrill with Mold Breaker, one using Sand Force or Sand Rush may not be too happy with losing those stat increases on their Sandstorm team.
Spicy Spray I guess is alright, though like above Scovillain gets some nice Abilities in Moody and Chlorophyll. While I guess you could wait for hopefully some Moody stat changes before Mega Evolving, a Sun Team would likely miss having a fast Scovillain.
It works like Unseen Fist. The effects don't get lifted
