Really doubt Pin Missile will be in it's kit since it hasn't been in the Scyther family for all these years anyhow, and it doesn't exactly elicit traits for learning it. Rock Blast is more likely but knowing Gamefreak they'd deny it to put more focus on it's shiny new signature move. That said Technician Rock Blast and/or Accelerock would make Kleavor a guaranteed fun mon, like a Rock-type Breloom.
True. Come to think of it, if it gets U-Turn, I feel like it'd prefer to run that for Bug STAB anyway. I just wonder what other Linkable moves it'd get?
We've seen other trade evolutions just running around Hisui.
Canonically that was retconned ages ago. & we've seen various steel & dark types.
It's entirely possible that the timeline that includes RGB had that happen. I would question how they managed to miss something that big, but it's possible. However, because the series runs with parallel universes, you could just easily have Legends occur in a timeline that uses FRLG or Let's Go for their Kanto storyline with Steel and Dark types existing.
The Electrizer has been available via wild mons holding it since gen 4. I don't see why that would need to change here.It is funny that I said that and right before kleavor there was an Electivire on the trailer
I wonder how it can evolve tho. People seem to not even have basic light, how can they put electricity in a box?
If we seriously deep dive into the lore implications than GSC is just....dumn. Oak also "discovered" 100 new Pokemon, many of which are extremely common in their neighboring region that has had long established lore and frequent communication with Kanto. There had apparently never been an egg discovered even though there's literally a breeding center in Elm's region.
We can occasionally run into "natural" trade volutions even in modern games so I think the real answer is "just don't think about it". The electrizer could be handwaved any number of ways or they could just put this weird item in there and not acknowledge it. Hell the only way to get one back in DP was on wild pokemon. A Mysterious Box!It is funny that I said that and right before kleavor there was an Electivire on the trailer

Her japanese name is Hinatsu so probably just a coincidence
Part 2, TM/TR/Tutor speculation
I looked at the trailer again, and Stone Axe didn't really look like a multi-strike move. After striking the Oshawott, Kleavor moves backward and seemingly becomes idle. Unless the trailer cut away from the subsequent strike, of course.
There's an implicit understanding that speculation involving Technician is about when Kleavor is able to be transferred to a more traditional Pokemon game. Same with most mechanical speculation in general, considering we have almost nothing to go on with regards to Legends' battle system.
I think it'll be like when you transfer a Pokemon from LGPE to Sw/Sh
LGPE didn't use abilities either, but all Pokémon still had abilities in their data (which is how Meltan/Melmetal's abilities were known ahead of SwSh). So I reckon it will be pretty much the same with PL:A.
I am wondering if they rescaled the stats to a smaller set of levels? Like is level 50 the new 100? In past games they have hardly used levels 75 - 100 on NPCs except Red and maybe a couple others so maybe they are changing it up.
