SPOILERS! Legends ZA Data Dumps - Adding Info to OP

[R_N]

look there has to be a reason why they chose mega garchomp z of all these new dlc megas to be event exclusive. it's not a mythical like diancie or a legendary like mewtwo, so there has to be a reason why it was chosen. PLUS next month will be the four year anniversary of legends arceus's release. I know I sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist right now but there are just too many coincidences

We have the full script. If Volo was present we would know, surely?

I also noticed that you can get a Meltan and a Melmetal. As 2 separate quests.
That's...I mean it's nice that you can get both without Go but please just come up with a normal way to evolve these things. Please.

Also just let them be shiny, I stg I can not bother waiting for another Go event with them

If Pokémon has taught me anything, it’s to not believe in patterns. It only leads to disappointment.

especially when it's not even a pattern

They referenced Volo because they were referencing L:A as a whole and he had a really easy "in" for it. That's it! That's the entire reference to Volo!
Even the little out of context screenshot of wondering about the temple showing up in hyperspace was just Ansha relating the temple to sinnoh's legendaries as maybe being able to find Rayquaza that way, to which Korrina jsut humors about "maybe, if it was part of the temple!". It's as relevant a "hint" as the fact they spend about as long talking about the big tree in valerie's town.

Having Magearna given to you rather than captured is sending me into psychosis

Though, conversely, if they aren't in the shiny lock list, they COULD just not be in the game. I do feel like that special research thing would be the method to find them, but...

I’ve seen a video of someone encountering Cobalion, so I think they’re all there through the special scan method. But special scans seem pretty grindy so I’m not surprised that there aren’t an abundance of reports from players yet.

Edit: Oh, speak of the devil, I just saw this:

If anything, I think it kinda feels instead like a tiny bit of foreshadowing for the Hyperspace Sky Pillar area where you battle Rayquaza. Spear Pillar, Sky Pillar… both ancient sites with similar names where you find Legendary Pokémon.

Genuinely stunned that these are shiny huntable.

Gamefreak has got to get over this cutscene consistency thing.

 

[MC Squared]

Is there a full list of all the move buffs? I only know Comet Punch and Magnet Bomb got base power buffs

Now the new question ig is whether the donut's sparkling power and shiny charm affect them, as well as if they're fixed when you enter or can be reset with portal flying.

Supposedly they're RNG whether they even spawn or are extremely annoying

Funny if do. Urbain/Taunie gets 4 Megas (I wish they switched their Goodra and Avalugg into Hisuian ones). Korrina has 6 Mega Team which is awesome (I would've changed Medicham to Blaziken/Emboar though) while half of NPC keep 5 Pokemon, while Mani and Josee don't get a single Mega?

Yung Dramps looks like Tatsugiri leaves no trainer area:-D

After years of griping about XY's nonexistent difficulty it's honestly an incredible coda for a new Kalos game to have a grind-heavy DLC featuring superboss Mega legendaries that break the level cap and trainer rematches that mog Red/Cynthia/Kieran

Grind-heavy is one way of putting it when I've been at or just near level 100 since clearing out the infinite royale for Taunie and nothing in Hyperspace gives exp.
