Great, it can be an even worse Galvantula.
If it gets Taunt and a status recover move we have the best stallbreaker ever.
Can we talk about how Solgaleo's riding a fucking cloud in its Radiant Sun phase though? Massive stat boosts forthcoming.
According to the information here:

Pikipek gets bullet seed. I assume this is in addition to fury attack and maybe a few others.

The official website mentions that Yungoos isn't native to Alola, but was introduced to control the population of some other Pokémon. From the look of it, it's based on the small Asian mongoose (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Asian_mongoose), which was introduced to Hawaii in the late 19th century to control rats.
Presumably, then, there's either a new rat Pokémon, or (less excitingly) we can find Rattata and the like in Alola somewhere.

"Some Yungoos have an Ability that no other Pokémon discovered has previously had. This Ability is known as Stakeout. With the Stakeout Ability, this Pokémon’s moves can deal twice the normal damage to any Pokémon that switch in or enter the field mid-battle."
Pursuit on every move? Yes please.

No, it's reversed Pursuit. More like Payback.
This means that, without any EV investment (which is most probably the case), Rowlet's minimum base HP is between 65 (with a HP IV of 31) and 80 (with a HP IV of 0), which is indeed a lot for a first member of an evolutionary chain. Its final evo might have 100+ base HP after all.
Level 5 Rowlet has 23 HP? That's a lot...
Reverse Pursuit eh? This will be great to annoy those jerks that like switching every turn. I actually hope this one is slow since then we can punish Baton Pass/U-Turn/Volt Tackle use better.
Still means you can't switch out of it safely. It's definitely going to be a solid ability.
Maybe this is what each of those Battle Circles are about? One for each diety?! There is the starter one (Earth), the one in the Sea (Water), the one in the forest could be Wind and then the one near the Volcano for Fire? IDK, grasping at straws, but very interesting picks nonetheless.
Pretty impressed with how smooth the game was running too, much better than XY or ORAS. Looked good, but I assume this was from the likely Demo we will have as the main building shown at the start matches the larger building near the beach.
its a snek
Too early to tell for sure. The ability description says moves (plural), and as far as I know Pursuit is the only move that has the effect of damaging switched pokemon. So either it does get the pursuit effect to every move, or the moves plural is just referring to things like switch ins from u-turn/volt switch/etc
Wait what? Can you post a picture or a link? I don't know what you're talking about but I want to see it!
The point is that it's a reversed Pursuit in that it does not hit things that switch out, but rather things that switch in.
That being said, it's a great trapper in that aspect.
Oh, gotcha. Still a really cool ability!
And the website is a little ambiguous by saying it doubles power versus Pokemon that enter mid-battle, instead of mid-turn.
I wonder...

My bad, must've missed it while refreshing. Agreed that it looks awesome tho!
