I do not know for certain, so someone who does can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that only AZ's Floette can Mega Evolve.

Possibly! Certainly be the easiest way but, you never know.
Haha! I knew it. I bet they try and shove those out the door before the DLC drops. Going to be a very high paced couple of months
Only Eternal Floette can Mega Evolve. Regular Floette cannot. Other than that, you’re correct. It has a higher BST and learns Light of Ruin, and is Shiny-locked.
Also, they are obtained with your own OT via small side quests like the Mythicals of Gen 4 and Legends: Arceus.
After a decade of fan speculation, Diancie’s event has Emma explicitly compare its appearance to the Anistar Sundial, but she doesn’t really elaborate on the possible nature of their connection lol
For what it’s worth, I really liked your “Floetternalite” suggestion.
Suppose that makes sense. Only thing regular Floettes have on it is able to be shiny. At least for the time being. Suppose it will exist like Battle Bond Greninja going forward.
Seeing the Battle Bond Greninja is still shiny locked, I think we'll wait a long time to get a shiny version of this.
Mewtwo and Diancie mega stones appear to be event distributions. I assume the Pokemon themselves can be captured day 1.
Speaking of Mega Stone names, that's not on the Google doc. What are the names of the stones for the officially-revealed Megas, especially Dragonite?For what it’s worth, I really liked your “Floetternalite” suggestion.
Edit: Oh you said just the officially revealed ones. In that case:
Victreebelite
Dragoninite
Chesnaughtite
Delphoxite
Greninjite
Malamarite
Hawluchanite
Since I already typed it up, I’ll keep the list of Mega Stone names for all of the leaked Megas here for anyone who wants to know:
Clefablite
Victreebelite
Starminite
Dragoninite
Meganiumite
Feraligite
Skarmorite
Froslassite
Emboarite
Excadrite
Scraftinite
Scolipite
Eelektrossite
Chandelurite
Chesnaughtite
Delphoxite
Greninjite
Pyroarite
Floettite
Malamarite
Barbaracite
Dragalgite
Hawluchanite
Zygardite
Drampanite
Falinksite
Victreebelite
Starminite
Dragoninite
Meganiumite
Feraligite
Skarmorite
Froslassite
Emboarite
Excadrite
Scraftinite
Scolipite
Eelektrossite
Chandelurite
Chesnaughtite
Delphoxite
Greninjite
Pyroarite
Floettite
Malamarite
Barbaracite
Dragalgite
Hawluchanite
Zygardite
Drampanite
Falinksite

Looks like my subconscious seems to understand better than my conscious when a vowel-ending mon name gets followed by -nite and when it instead gets truncated to get the usual -ite suffix, because I correctly assumed Greninjite and Hawluchanite but do not know the logic consciously. Must be a vibes thing.
I don’t think you can start the quests until you bring the mega stones to certain characters.
Also random thought but I hope mega glimmora gets legs like starmie
Is there any in-game explaination how Drampa and Falinks ended up in Kalos?
it's over... i have depicted you as the seething flygoncel and myself as the smug garchad
Thank you! How does Zygarde not get any heavier while holding a gigantic nuke?
Probably because said nuke is made of all the cells that used to make up its arms and tail and large chunks of its body, wings, and legs.
I don’t know if they get any more specific to explain those two in particular, but the underlying premise of the game’s setting is that
after the Team Flare crisis five years prior, people began moving out of Lumiose in droves, while Pokémon began to move in, being attracted to a device within Prism Tower that responded to the ultimate weapon’s activation. The mayor contracted Quasartico to help rehabilitate the city’s image while accommodating the newly migrated Pokémon.
You can probably assume that Drampa and Falinks just happened to be among the species that migrated over, and frankly, Pokémon seem to migrate quite often anyway even without magic devices drawing them in, so I don’t think there would necessarily need to be any overt explanation.

My guess is that the cannon is mostly made up of the cells that stripped away from the rest of Zygarde’s body, and that the barrel is filled with weightless energy.
Unfortunately Mega Zygarde’s Dex entry has nothing interesting to say about it.
Oh look at me a grass dinosaur weak to every single gym in my region. I sure hope Razor Leaf and Body Slam and literally nothing else is enough to solo the game. Sure would be a shame if my rival has 5/6 Pokemon with a type advantage. Lucky for me Team Rocket probably won't run a bunch of poison, fire, and flying types. Don't worry at least the Elite 4 will be in my favor right?... right?

Eternal Floette, who has been a thing since 2013, has always been intended as an alternative to FLORGES.
I'd say Blood Moon Ursaluna is the closest analogue, but, it is not to be really compared to vanilla Floette.
A friend just told me "only a hot evil dude could convince me to get the game at this point." Does anyone have a screenshot of
? Or I guess whoever the game's villain is, assuming they're male?
Lysandre
There's an actual explination?! It's a kind off weird one, but I'm buying it because any reason for Pokemon from other regions to start appearing makes more sense then ORAS's excuse. (How did so many Pokmeon who can't fly or swim suddenly start appearing on an island region?)
Wait... That bit about Quasartico... Does that mean that Quasartico is why there's the Pokemon version of the Purge every night? I don't have spoilers on who's supposed to be evil, but I'm pretty sure causing the Purge makes you evil even if you aren't supposed to be the bad guys. :P
Are there any save data bonuses, like in legends arceus and bdsp?
I kinda wanna stress here that it’s really more of an explanation for why Lumiose is full of Pokémon now and why there’s an effort to construct the Wild Zones, rather than an explanation for why Drampa and Falinks specifically have appeared. I just feel like you can conveniently lump them in with that.
As for Quasartico
No, they’re not evil. They’re just doing the job they were hired to do. At worst, they keep the existence of the dangerous device in Prism Tower secret from the public, but that’s just so that nobody panics and flees the city again rather than for any nefarious reason.
There’s really nothing sinister about the Z-A Royale, either. Comparisons to the Purge are entirely superficial.

So since SV came out, I've had a list of how many regional pokedexes each pokemon has been in, since I thought it'd be interesting to see which pokemon appear a lot, which ones get screwed over, etc. Note that, to avoid repetition, I only included went with the largest pokedex from each region/game, including DLC dexes with the base game dex: so only Platinum and not DP, only USUM and not SM, Paldea and Kitakami and Blueberry Academy as one pokedex, etc. But Hisui and Legends ZA are still included as they're different games with much different pokedexes rather than being an upgraded version.
Anyway:
After gen 5, only four pokemon lines had appeared in every pokedex: Zubat, Psyduck, Magnemite, and Onix. Onix wasn't in the Alolan Pokedex, bringing it down to just Zubat, Psyduck, and Magnemite, and it remained this way for a very long time. Then Zubat was never in Scarlet and Violet, bringing it down to just Psyduck and Magnemite.
What does any of this have to do with Legends ZA or this thread, you're probably wondering? Well, this game marks a historic moment.
Psyduck and Magnemite aren't in this game, not even the DLC
This means that, from this point onward, there are no pokemon to make every game's (expanded) pokedex. While there was a brief moment after SWSH's launch where this was also the case, as all three of those lines weren't in the base game, they still appeared in the DLC, making this temporary and making it so the final dex used for that game still includes them. This time however, unless the leaked returning pokemon list is wrong, they will never make it into this game, and therefore there will never be a pokemon featured in every game's pokedex ever again. Kinda surprised it took this long tbh.
Interestingly enough, there is one Johto pokemon that has never missed a pokedex since its creation; Heracross. Therefore, Heracross is actually tied with multiple kanto lines for the pokemon with the highest amount of pokedexes it is in.
(Also, for anyone wondering about Pikachu, it surprisingly was never in Unova, not even in BW2)
