Bullet Seed isn't confirmed yet, but my money is on both it and a Flying-type version of Fury Attack, especially given its initial description.
I wonder if it will have a signature move that does like 10 base damage 16 times since they liked to stress the 16 times a second there.
If so, then go Ferrothorn.
If so, then go Ferrothorn.
Well, Combusken is said to let loose 10 kicks per second, and yet the only multi-hit move it learns is... Double Kick.
Though, I suppose it would be neat to have a Flying-type version of Fury Attack/Bullet Seed.
Although it's not confirmed technically, it states in its description that "Pikipek will attack distant opponents by zipping seeds at them. These shots have enough strength to embed the seeds in tree trunks." So I think it's pretty much guaranteed to get bullet seed.
Also, magearna's ability kinda implies that it's stealing another Pokemon's soul, even an ally's... Seems kinda malicious to me.
Popplio's stat lvl 6 when leveling to 7 :
I'm smelling a Lapras-like stat distribution when fully-evolved.
BTW, didn't Moxie already trigger when any other Pokemon was KOed? I don't see Soul-Heart being any different.
Ferrothorn has Rocky Helmet :o)
Soul heart is triggered when ANY Pokemon faints. So you don't have to kill it yourself. And it can be a teammate
It only triggers if you KO a Pokemon. This triggers for any time a Pokemon faints - whether from status conditions, partners in double battles, etc.
Soul-heart works when ANY Pokemon is KOed, be it Ally or not, and the pokemon doesn't need to be the one doing the KO. It's an improved Moxie for Double.
Edit : Mega Greninja'd
We can haz new video :)
A while back, there was a "leak" that said that the final stages of Popplio and Litten (sub-types at least) would be Fighting and Ground respectively.
Was this actually confirmed as true or was it proven to be bullshit?
(If Popplio's final stage is Water/Fighting, Aura Sphere is practically guaranteed. Why else would they mention the water bubble balloon things?)

Haha I think we all replied at the same time without seeing that the others had replied. We ninja'd each other.
There isn't sufficient information to tell whether it's true or not.
Popplio learns a fairy move, but this doesn't necessarily mean it will become fairy.
There's no confirmation or debunking or anything lol. It's all baseless rumors based on some random unused types on the Japanese site.
Do I… Do I see…
Do I see Metres and Kilograms in the English translation!!??
It would be nice if we finally got to choose which one to measure stuff in.

New Pokemon, whoop!
Yungoos
I really like the idea for this guy. The face freaks me out, but I already have an idea behind it. If I remember right, mongoose are actually an invasive species now in Hawaii (or at least some islands like Galapogos.) and the appearance of Yungoos is perfect for this. This is probably going to be one of my favorite Regional Rodents if it is Gen VII's.
Pikipek
So cute! The design seems to have changed from what we saw in the original announcement, with the neck existing now and being very thin, The head shape is also different slightly. However, the Pikipek seen in the trailer might be an evolved form. That's my guess anyway. The information page on the Sun and Moon site says it shoots seeds at enemies, leading me to think Pikipek could end up being a Grass/Flying type. That would however be odd considered Rowlet is already Grass/Flying, but we'll see.
Grubbin
Grubbin is my absolute favorite of the 3 revealed Pokemon. LOOK AT IT! It will probably end up being Bug/Electric, as the information on it says it likes being near power plants. Grubbin seems to be inspired by wood-burrowing beetles. If the coloring was different I would guess Asian Long-Horned Beetle, but it's rather different shape wise. But in the future, who knows. c:

YES. THIS. FINALLY.
I've been so tired of the measure they used in past game which I had no idea about and is always forced to look up on bulbapedia for size reference ugh.
