SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword and Shield Datamine Thread
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
Me because I'm fucking dead with this shitty datamine
I swear they intentionally leaked the Home data just to fuck with us. No G-bird Roost, no Tapu terrain moves, no Regi coverage of any kind...
Also no Mega Gigaregigigas alt form where it combines all 5 Regis like some Voltron monstrosity.
This is the worst Christmas ever.
Celesteela doesn't get Cosmic Power, Xurkitree loses Tail Glow, Cresselia doesn't get Cosmic Power either (which I'm so sad about).
Wouldn't be surprised if the new abilities for Regieleki and Regidraco are like Steelworker, so stronger than Adaptability. It would make their STAB moves quite strong, a bit stronger than Xurkitree. With Life Orb, Regieleki should be able to kill somewhat frail Pkm or Pkm that are already weakened. Regidraco, on the other hand, could be actually a very threatening wall breaker with a choice spec, so long as it's healthy. It's able to 2HKO Chansey with some little chip damage!
Bruhhh The galarian birds don't even get Heat Wave (which includes Moltres mind you)
Was Tail Glow Xurk ever more than a meme? If not, I feel like it should have stayed.
Can someone confirm if VS. Recorder is back or it's still not in?
eleki and draco have the same offensive stats
tbolt with steelworker and specs is still pretty scary especially for a mon with that much speed
It's funny how Pokémon makes 20yo men complaining about the same game they play since they were 8, because it just stills the fucking same all the time.
Like I get they wanted to pull back on Pokémon’s movepools, rightfully so.
but the Last few Gens have been so heavy handed with movepool nerfs that otherwise viable Pokémon are total ass.
like regielec and ghost horse where set up to be ou staples for multiple generations
But somehow The only good new Pokémon was Zapdos

Galarian Slowking is also looking like a winner, so there’s that too.
Says the 28 year old.
Bruh the ghost horse has STAB Shadow Ball, 130 Speed, 145 SAtk and Special Moxie. It's gonna be OU.
They have different signature moves, one of them being like Eruption if I understood correctly.
Eh, I like the game more than X and Y by a fair bit, and a little bit better than Sun and Moon. But this should have been much better. How does a game that looks as...average as Sword and Shield run so poorly, for one?
Without Roost this thing will be lucky to be UU.
that's a funny way to say anything goes
I hate how GF designs modern movepools. Its always the absolute bare minimum, no neat tricks and shit. Take a look at Gardevoir's movepool and compare it to Tapu Lele. Garvdevoir has wacky shit like Wish and Will o Wisp and Memento and Knock Off, because moves used to be given for lols. Now if moves dint fit the exact plan they have for the mon, they wont get on.
USUM were elite games >:( actually, the tried so hard with USUM, i wonder if they just felt burnt out making this one
