Less so because the type is decided beforehand
It should be better, since Adaptability is a plain x2 and, if STAB + crystalization-matched-typing is a x1.5, it'd be a x2.25 boost.

How many of the crowns have we seen? I saw Normal, the starter types, and Flying, did we see any others? I think we saw a split-second of Dragon on a Dragonite near the end.
Can we talk about Pooper (and it's evolution)?
Stats-wise it's predetermined to have a low BST, but as a mono-Ground player I see quite a bit of potential. The fact that it takes neutral hits from Grass and can be immune to Water means it occupies a very unique place.
Any poison monotype players have thoughts? Or do the Nido family have this thing outcompeted? Is the possibility of Unaware more attractive than Water Absorb for you?

stop slandering the lil woopaeverybody said:

Cetitan is really cool IMO. The idea of a whale that lives on land is interesting considering that real-life whales are mammals that adapted to living in water.
Paldean Wooper and Fidough are cute, but I totally thought Fidough was a regional Yamper when I first saw it lol
I wish we got a few more new Pokémon considering how long it's been since the last trailer.

From what I recall, the Nidos are used mostly for wide coverage with Sheer Force, so Quagsire-P would have a different role from them. That said, a defensive mon that can't answer one of its type's weaknesses is rough for Monotype. Unaware doesn't seem essential either on Poison since they can usually slot in Clear Smog somewhere. I do agree it probably replaces Gastrodon on Ground.

here’s the likely Dragon crown. Hard to tell what it looks like
Wasn't that a Fire Dragonite?
Finally found the page on terstallizing that people have been quoting from, tucked under news, definitely sounds like it just gives the Pokemon a monotype matching its tera type, but keeps stab on its original types?
Some other things:
This Rodimus Prime-looking car (belonging to evil team?) has no driver, Transformers x Pokemon crossover confirmed.
Also, the page on the story states
"There is no set path to the Gyms. You can purposefully seek out a stronger Gym Leader, or you can simply stop by a Gym that happens to be located in a town you came across on your journey. This time, you get to plot your very own path along Victory Road."
...which certainly makes it sound like there will be no/limited level scaling to the gyms.

I wonder how the crowns will work on something like Starmie. Not only would they look weird, Starmie spins around during its attack.
Maybe they make xp matter less like in PLA
Stick it on the gem or the back
Venomoth's back to terrorize RUBL!
Also this is the first time Venonat and Venomoth appear outside of Kanto and Johto, so I most likely would grab the chance to use it in my in-game team. Same goes to Florges, Gogoat, and Sawsbuck, first time outside of their debut regions.

Gym Leaders having fixed levels like Battle Facilities was always something I wondered could be implemented, so I wonder if this is the case.Re: Level scaling

I just realized that Chlorophyll Pokémon may be able to Terastallize into Fire-types and get the super STAB buff + sun’s buff + the speed buff. Sun now gets a dangerous tool this generation that could put it on par with rain.
I wouldn't count on this being the case. I mean... it could be. But it could also be that they just zoomed the camera in to not reveal what level the specific gym leader was. After all, I don't think anyone expects gym leader Pokemon to not have gender, and that was also absent. Both would be cut off at the same time if the camera was just zoomed in a bit.Re: Level scaling
