Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Because it's out
Also I would like to see how the opinions on Pecharunt shift (if at all) during the month as I feel Day 1 impressions have shown to not always be accurate. I feel like he's overall a UU mon and is very much so built to be an annoying mon with Parting Shot + Recover and then...
Love how we get UUbers and we still get people wanting Ubers in OU. By the time this generation is over, people will be unironically asking for Dialga-O to be OU.
Finch: We aren't dropping anymore Ubers, stop asking.
Smogon Users: Okay, but can we drop this Uber?
For me I think the HOME model does not do Boulder justice at all and he looks waaaaaay better in game.
Gouging Fire is just amazing. I actually like all the new mons as a whole. Iron Boulder is prolly by least favorite, but it is what it is.
I will never forget catching that Dynamax Cresselia and at the end finding out it was shiny.
My thing with Legendary encounters is that I feel with the 3D Era, it was done as a time saving method as to be blunt, it was ORAS where they started mass releasing every past legendary as some post...
If these were true (99.9% doubt) it would be interesting to see defense Neuroforce. But at the same time all it does is remind me that Ultra Necrozma isn't in the game...
Once again, I wish Pokemon leakers were like the leakers of other games. Just give us direct answers instead of playing mind games.
Anyway, I think it's safe to assume we'll get leaks in the next couple of days anyway. So we'll know.
I really hope the birds get the Galarian Bird theme from SWSH, giving the Trio their own unique theme.
Latios and Latias on the otherhand are prolly only gonna get Gen 3 wild Battle music. But I'd like them to get something more unique. I'd take the Ramiris Park theme for them tbh.
Man...I want Ultra Necrozma back. Like just make an item that allows Necrozma to change forms. You don't need him to have a Z-Move to go full Dragon mode....
Meanwhile I am just here waiting to see if Ho-Oh gets Revival Blessing. If any mon should get it, it should be the mon who canonically revived Pokemon from the dead.
I agree this is fake, but remember. This is the same company that didn't give Zamazenta Body Press until one Gen later and didn't give the mon who uses the shield of a king....King's shield.
