I think that’s just an animation error? The arms stretch to become the lower jaw but just aren’t retracting properly here. In the other pictures we’ve seen of it it only has two arms.

Oops, there's definitely something wrong there. I'm going to guess that Atk should actually be base 100, in that case.
The Mega Starmie stat thing has a second independent confirmation.
Actually it is a 140 BST increase
Honestly I think starmie is probably going to be getting loads of physical moves since they really like giving buffs to pokemon in legends games as we know. I'm expecting psycho cut, waterfall, and some other moves at least as well as bulk up
I mean togekiss got moonblast and empoleon got roost so its absolutely possible starmie gets a lot of physical moves
My god though starmie broke the mega rules of only 100 bst

Ooh, you could be right. Oh well, you were almost interesting idle mega feraligatr
The Mega Eelektross user, apparently. Her name is Canari.
This. This has to be grown-up Bonnie under a stage name right
Of all megas, only this one getting above +100 is so bizarre
& regular Starmie didn't get any stat buffs? Strange, strange.
I have some doubts about that even before we go back to the word that this game takes place 5 years after XY
That's just ludicrous. I'm not discounting that what we're seeing is an in-between revisions of Mega Starmie's base stats, and that the Day 1 patch will reduce the BST increase to 100. We already had a Day 1 patch that revised base stats before, with SV and the Treasures of Ruin.
Alternatively, I suppose it could be some sort of compensation for the lack of a specific ability like others have pointed out, but then shouldn't Mega Mawile and Mega Medicham have changes to their BST to account for the lack of Huge/Pure Power? Hopefully a dataminer looks into the base stats of all of the old Megas too.
Doesn't have any similarities to Bonnie. Canari is the new Clemont and very inspired by Iona
So if it got that much of an increase just to be viably mixed as an attacker, it has to be getting tons of physical moves or at least the ones it needs like wave crash/liquidation and psycho cut/zen headbutt along with stuff like swords dance and bulk up to actually be usable.
Wait though if mega starmie gets dancer with swords dance oh god
Iono 2: Electric Boogaloo
but uh. yknow. i do hope that theory is true. that'd be nice. because where else are her and clemont.
Yeah I feel like this has to be it. It would be super random if Starmie was the only one to break the +100 stat increase
Mega Excadrill:
Also supposedly Diancie is in the dex and can be caught normally, the other mythical are not. There’s also a skip cutscene button.
Oh thank god we have (squints) Centro to take source credibility into account.
Anyway, even if its a longer timeskip, Canari doesnt really seem like Bonnie to me. The only thing that kind of pertains to Bonnie is maybe that she has a hair clip, and is associated with electric types. Even her eyes are different. Feels like it'd have been easy to have at least one distinct design quirk carried over (the braid, some browns, eye color, maybe a ribbon, etc) to really sell it.
Actually, now that I think about it, do we know when any of the games after Sun & Moon take place? By all of my calculations X & Y take place in 2013 (at the same time as Black & White 2) and Sun & Moon takes place two years after those in 2015. If I’m not mistaken, all three of this game Sword & Shield, and Scarlet & Violet don’t have any confirmation of when exactly they might take place. Going strictly off of the fact that Rotom Phones exist, this game has to at least be at the same time as Sword & Shield, right?
someone needs to check mawile and medicham's stats
It does the Freeza pose as its idle.
Apologies for the double post, but it should be noted that Canari could have been Clemont’s replacement as an Electric-Type specialist in Lumiose City, possibly because he wanted to focus more on his inventions in his spare time or something.
Edit: This did not send as a double post, huh.
I need to see it in motion but this is an instant add to my team, holy shit. I demand an apology for the last decade of Barbaracle slander I have seen.
We haven't seen them all in motion or color yet, but overall I'm extremely happy with this batch of new Megas - the only big miss for me is Feraligatr, but even then I can at least respect what they're going for with the big Totodile thing. Everything else looks fantastic and I'm super excited to give them all a try
It's a good remix, but it still doesn't feel like it matches Yveltal. It still feels like a Xerneas-specific song, and none of the other songs intended for multiple legendaries seem to have that issue (except for Necrozma not really fitting with the friendly battle music that Nebby gets, but they at least fixed that by giving it different themes for its alternate forms)
The funny thing about Barbaracle is that, as I believe has been mentioned a few times across this subforum, it's apparently one of the most popular Kalos mons in Japan. What for us is going insane with a Mega design on a weirdo goober is for them the equivalent of a hypothetical Mega Haxorus or Volcarona
