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.
Its not filled up / accurate cause we literally see volcarona in the video PokemonTrainerLui linked above.
Serebii updating their list as well confirming araquanid and a few others.
I don't think most of the ZA megas are in either and this list is assuming pokemon in = mega immediately available.
IVs being removed imo is fine for newer players but should've remained for the more advanced ones to play around with and figure out.
They could default them to 31 but let them be something you could edit anyways.
One set that comes to mind is the 11 attack ivs slither wing set because there's...
"September 25th 2027 we will release our newest battle pass! It has several limited time items like Eviolite, the pokemon colosseum version of champion steven's theme, and a free Klang as one of our few NFEs!, only cost $19.99 + $1.39 accounting for digital tariffs! (requires nintendo online...
Saw it coming but that does suck for some creative eviolite sets.
I doubt we'd see stuff like servine make it in, ever, but also sucks for mons like doublade and magneton too.
Pikachu made it in but that feels more like pikachu just being privileged.
EDIT: Of note the main pokemon getting...
Ninetales still does have the niche of being a non-mega.
We run into the internal dilemma of "i give up mega kangaskhan / salamence / rayquaza for this"
Bit disappointed not every ZA mega will be in but home at least should display abilities, maybe thats why they held off on giving us a ZA...
Did anyone talk about how private battle rulesets are?
More specifically can we do 6v6 without 20 min timers going on lol
To me that's the ultimate deciding factor if the game will be ever worth playing online as a non-vgc player cause fuck the forced 20 minute timer.
They've said in the past not all pokemon will be available in this and that they'll add more over time, but seems like a very sizable roster.
..which makes me wonder if pre-evolutions are just out and its final stages cause we haven't seen a single pre-evo or mention of eviolite yet.
EDIT: I...
According to serebii;
My biggest complaint is how much FOMO is going to mire this game's reputation/cause fatigue in it, especially if you're telling me I have to pay a 2nd home membership to expand my boxes in champions when I can just use home and transfer back and forth... you're paying for...
Araquanid has more utility options whether its endure+custap with endeavor cheese or mirror coat to fuck with some special attackers (which i dont think mirror coat is too common but it does exist).
There's just multiple uses for it while ribombee is a one trick pony, your araquanid might be...
More likely they do a SWSH and just make the moves unselectable even if they exist in data, but removing it in champions won't remove it when brought back to home.
What concerns me more is this;
Way I'm seeing it is lets say you train a keldeo in resolute form, give it secret sword/TMs in...
I wouldn't be shocked if the delay is strictly just due to release schedules of other departments needing time to catch up.
ZA DLC was only a few months ago and we're so behind on expansions that add all the new megas and shit for ZA TCG, pokopia just came out, and champions is around the...
Electric / Normal doesn't sound too appealing tbh, but it would be cool if this rotom form became usable in the main line games.
Rotom-Stereo changing the battle theme would be a cool but impractical gimmick.
Imagine they add an oxygen meter mechanic where non-water types can only be sent out for X amount of turns then have to switch out or start taking damage.
I could see it like 4x turns for regular pokemon, 2x for fire types, 100-0 entry hazard for charmander. Functionally a terrain perish song.
