Noble Roar is probably going to be its signature move.

I think Pyroar didn't get Intimidate because of Noble Roar. If it gets a reasonable speed and bulk it could function fairly well with a Noble Roar/Morning Sun/Flare Blitz/Return set up in sun. You'd most likely recover more health with Morning Sun than lost from a -1 attack and Flare Blitz+Return will be a strong offensive combo(scared of Jelli, but that's why you have a grass type).
Oh and if it doesn't make OU, but Rain, Chandelure and Jellicent aren't in UU, then it should wreck there.

Well thank you for explaining that. I can understand that reason, although fighting is certainly not the worst type you could double up on.
Hell, I usually wind up doubling or tripling up on types during my playthroughs.
I wonder what kind of stat spread we can expect?
Probably fast/bulky, high attack....
an no flare blitz
Gee, I wonder where we've seen fire-type felines with little coverage before...

Whoa, just learned about Mega Charizard. Drought plus an increased special attack?
yeah I'm retiring

This is the first fire/feline so far. Flareon is clearly a Pomeranian.
Personally, I'm thinking Luxray like stats which means it will be slow. But it will probably also get Arcanine's movepool... hopefully that includes extreme speed...
So last time when Black/White was coming out and was the talk of the town, I asked for there to be a Ghost/Fire type. We got Chandelure. Not great in OU, but amazing in UU.
Before BW2 even released, whenever I talked about gen 6 on IRC or any other chat, I wanted GF to give us a Rock/Dragon type...and look what we got
Thank you based GF! I am on a roll right now UOENO! :]]]]]]

I've been asking for rock/dragon since fourth gen. And Poison/Dragon.
I wish Druddigon had been rock/dragon. Maybe he'll get a rock/dragon evo.
THe real reason GF is keeping evrything under wraps is because gen 6 will include full evolutionary trees for all pokemon

I predicted well...
A lot of the rumours were confirmed by then, so the all of the Pokebeach rumours were likely to be true. Anyone could've predicted that. ;)
Btw, the official site will update soon I guess right? Iirc, the site has always updated one day after the leaks, so perhaps today? I'm getting a bit too used to the Japanese names right now haha. Seems like BW all over again.
Nope. First, drudd doesn't look like he would ever get an evo, and second, I will run screaming out a window if every pokemon family gets (m)evos.
Oi, that would be really crazy if every pokemon got a MEvo. That would be the largest number of new pokemon introduced in a generation.
The opportunity cost of using a Mega Charizard (not using another, probably better Mega Evo) is too great. Also, are you SERIOUSLY afraid of paper-thin-defenses-and-double-weak-to-Stealth-Rock Charizard?
Seriously though on the subject of SR being nerfed, with the whole new boost Ghosts just received Hazards are gonna be even harder to spin out even if nerfed, unless GameFreak decides to make Rapid Spin a TM.
It is considered to be the Life Pokemon, so , it would be logic , that its signature move would have a healing effect. Maybe it's a bit farftech'd as fat b2j135 states it, but Xerneas could use a ridiculously unbalanced move, since it will (propably) be an Uber. But, who knows, Geomancy has the chance to become an attacking move, too :theroymon strikes again:
US Name: Geomancy
Jp. Name: Geo Control
Type: Fairy-type
Effect:
This move will do severe damage to the opponent
It's not a healing move guys.

By putting it in parenthesis I was showing it was optional, like the game term "Hit 2 time(s)!"
I didn't mean mevo. I meant everything became three stage
I refer you to my last post. And it would horrible if everything became three stage.
It will be fun watching Xerneas' impact on Ubers and how the Dragons react. Rayquaza? Terrified. Every other Dragon bar Dialga? Xerneas is switching into Outrage and laughing at them as they cannot do shit with Outrages and Draco Meteors, only their secondary STABs. Dialga carrying Iron Head or Flash Cannon just to beat Xerneas. And Arceus-Dragon is hilariously screwed over, having to run SLUDGE BOMB or FLASH CANNON to avoid being walled, because Xerneas is immune to Dragon Judgment and resists Focus Blast. Tyranitar and Darkrai (after sleep clause) are being shit on as well, as they can't do much to Xerneas with Crunches and Dark Pulses.
I will get Pokemon X instead of Y JUST FOR XERNEAS.

Where did the healing bit come from anyways? I always saw it as a Fairy type Earthquake..US Name: Geomancy
Jp. Name: Geo Control
Type: Fairy-type

It's not a healing move guys.
