Do you think they’ll have any impact on how they’re played at all? Is a DD set viable for either one?

That base speed makes me wanna cry. Didn’t we suffer enough with vikavolt?!?

Another defensive Pokémon with a bad type. Sigh. Bugs got so close but so far this gen :(

Eiscue’s Noice form has higher speed for lower defenses. No better attacking stats though lol

Frosmoth has 65 base speed. Centiskorch is also slow. WHY GAMEFREAK WHYYY

Hidden power. Of all the moves, damn. I’m super interested on how that will shake up the meta. Why remove moves anyways? None of them are even all that outclassed! So confused.

Armaldo’s head on cradily’s body looks so cool, like some kind of creeping slashing slug. As strange as the new fossil Pokémon are, it’s such an unconventional change of pace in terms of Pokémon design. I may not be the biggest fan of some of their designs, but you can’t say that they’re off...

Totally agree. Unless GF were to give ice more resistances, which I don’t really see happening anytime soon, offense is the way to go with ice types. Their defensive utility really ends with aurora veil and now Eiscue’s cool but gimmicky ability. Looking up info about hail, it really blows my...

Just for curiosity’s sake, what would some theoretical benefits be for hail to bring? No doubt about it hail and ice types have gotten a bit better this gen, but I agree, there’s still a long way to go.

It’ll be interesting to find out what the answer is. I just can’t see the two designs converging in a g-max form that looks so similar to their pre-evolution; why level up to something that is seemingly just a cooler version that looks like the Pokémon that it used to be, Applin? It just...

I think one of the most fascinating things to find in the datemine will be some of the hopefully buffed stats, moves, learnsets, or abilities. All those things under the surface that you talked about I can’t wait to see. The changes aren’t usually huge to past gens, but the uncertainty is...

Where was it confirmed that flapple and appletun share a g-max form?

It’s interesting that there’s a g-max flapple, but no g-max appletun (as far as we know at the moment). If I’m honest, g-max flapple looks more like a g-max version of its pre-evo applin or even appletun. What an interesting design choice. Also g-max gengar is terrifying! I’m glad they’re...

I’m not sure on whether or not Trick Room will ever be anything but a niche offensive style, but this gen is really looking like it’ll at least be slightly better with it. There’s plenty of Pokémon that are exceptionally slow this gen with great stats, rather than Alola which was just seemingly...

one thing I notice from the trainer tables is that golem has thunder punch, meaning that it may well be rock/electric
