Mega Sableye has a BST of 480 yet it's perfectly competent, at least on singles. If done right, BST will not matter much.

the sand ghost mon is looking cool, it's a nice typing but it'll prolly be slower than golurk :[
Pikachu315111 should go to work more often :D

More to do with an amazing typing giving Sableye only one weakness (disregarding Scrappy) with a really good ability. It hasn't been the same for much with the Alola Pokemon, and from what it seems it's just BST adjustments and not changes and a lot of these Pokemon don't have the best typing.
As a small side-note, it'd be cool and I freaking hope they make an Alolan Raichu and attack is nerfed in replace of Special Attack. I'm freaking tired of my boy getting shafted because of Pikachu's popularity, hell it's dex entry can be "After years of it's younger brother getting all the loved, Raichu moved to the mountains and started adapting on special powers." It's a good start.
If you'd actually want to give Raichu a niche, you'd give it the attack stat to abuse Volt Tackle effectively and a few physical coverage moves to go along with that. Special Electric-types are a dime a dozen.
I guess, just something man.
I will say, if next month is revealing the evolution of Rockruff, would it basically disprove the 4 theory? Did it specifically say next month we're revealing THE or AN evolution? Grammar is of utmost importance.
I'd be fine with un-boosted stats, actually. Not every Pokémon has to compete in OU. There are plenty of Pokémon out there worse than Marowak and Sandslash already, so even without a boost they still wouldn't be the most useless 'mons around. As long as they do a decent job in-game, they're good enough in my eyes. There are some eight hundred Pokémon in the games, and no matter their power level, only a small percentage will see consistent use in higher tiers of play. Not every Pokémon can be among the best, some Pokémon have to be the worst, and between the two there has to be, by necessity, a large pool of Pokémon that are comparatively average. As long as the Alolan Forms are above a certain power treshold, they should do fine.

Does it really prove? Didn't the leak say we were creating the gyms? Plus it said the stones activated form changes like Ash Greninja when it doesn't seem to be the case
I'm more or less just parroting what other people said on the subject. I'm trying to avoid leaks entirely so I haven't actually seen anything of the leaks other than the final starter evolutions.
Though honestly, it's a question I kinda want to ask generally - regardless of context, if a set of leaks were proven true, would discussion be allowed here?
True, but I know people are saying this new pokemon confirms it, but to be fair, this is sea slug, NOT a sea Anemone. They are different creatures
If a leak is proven true, like the starter evos, then I would assume it would be allowed to be talked about here
Sea cucumber is very cute and a bit disturbing ("I'm gonna beat you in the head with me guts!"), though I applaud GF for willing to take it there. Looks a bit cutesy to be single stage, I wonder if it evolves?
Plot twist: Alola is near the Sevii Islands archipelago.
But really it's the same reason why we got comparatively more gen 1 megas: fan service + GF thinks those mons need a boost/refresh the most. I'm hoping we get Alolan forms from other gens too.

Osaka! Don't throw Sea Cucumbers at people!
And there's What appears to be some stuff you can find on the first island: most of what has been shown so far. Not unexpected tbh, since I think most of the earlier reveals for XY was early route stuff.
The sea cucumber better get Guts as one of its abilities.

AHAHAHA THEY MADE A POKEMON WHO ATTACKS OUT OF ITS ANUS!
WHY AM I SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS?
*pushes face into table
ok
ok
um
I really don't know how I feel about this whole generation's pokemon. The designs are hilarious all over the place. Between super neck, sand castle, the literal bus, and anus face I think a good deal many laughs shall be had by children discovering these mons for the first time.

So...this is Pokémon: The Wind Waker?
This.
O.o
Those are oddly cute.
I have nothing to add here. Just thought this was a funny post.
The new mon is okay. The only thing throwing me off a little is the color scheme. We'll see about the evo!
