So it seems that the sacred beasts don't need to be with some items to stay in their forme?
Edit:katakiri, they have crossed out that phrase, maybe because that 'items need' was a wrong leak

Keldeo not being 'officially' in B/W has no relevance to it. It is still in programmed in B/W and can be tutored Secret Sword in it, that's all that matters.
Yeah, I know about Rollout Lickitung (as well as AncientPower Piloswine). Dunno if those were just overlooked or not, but they haven't repeated it since.
It appears Keldeo's transformation has something to do with a forest near one of the new towns anyway.
Nonono, you got it wrong. It says that the kami trio from BW may change into the Sacred Beasts using/holding an item; the ones from the AR Searcher will have no need of this unknown item.
Well, that's what I got from

Sucks to be Multiscale Lugia.
And perhaps Multiscale Dragonite, if these forms are allowed OU.
But un-STABed neutral Fire-moves aren't going to do a whole ton to Heatran's good Special Defence (unless it gets more Special Attack, and then it might go Uber), and switching from Focus Blast to a Fire move means it misses out on Tyranitar (for 3-attack sets).
Assuming White Kyurem gets those extra 20 SpA points, 4/0 Heatran is taking (46.60% - 54.94%) from Timid LO Fusion Flare. So while SpD Heatran fares a little better, it is no longer the case that Heatran can switch in with impunity.
Turboblaze and Teravolt seemed obvious from the start, especially when it was revealed that the Kyurem's kept their Ice typing. I guess they'll be useful against Dragonite/Heatran in OU, and MultiScale Lugia if they go to DW.
Normal Kyurem OHKOs Dragonite through Multiscale with STAB Ice Beam anyway. A 2x SE (due to Multiscale) STAB Ice Beam from Base 130 Sp.Attack. Not a chance in hell, Dragonite.
3HKOing Heatran with Fusion Flare is cute. (It might be a 2HKO if White Kyurem gets a Sp.Attack boost.)
No Pokemon with Volt Absorb would dare switch-in on Kyurem in the first place unless Choice Band becomes a staple but even then, Outrage looms around the corner.
Really the most useful thing it gets out of Turboblaze & Terravolt are breaking through Sturdy, Sand Veil, Snow Cloak, and Thick Fat.

I for one won't fully believe everything until the actual pictures come out. Remember how there was the rumored Swimming Goggles before B/W came out, and everyone and their mother's started making sets involving it?
Pics or didn't happen.

I don't think that will matter unless the other forms can learn EQ or Earth Power comes back for a Move Tutor move.
I think the guy who was leaking this month's corocoro was the same one that leaked last month's.
You know, with the World Tournament, and Cheren as leader, and such.
And it's not like these are that far out there, honestly.
-You form change in a town!
-You form change with items!
-These abilities were kind of obvious!
-Poketransfer!
-Trading!
But never hurts to be cautious over it, I guess?

I wouldn't be surprised if Kyurem's new forms don't even get Electric/Fire moves. These three new mascot's movepools are so bad compared to past 680s I honestly feel like gamefreak is trying to force you to use the three Dragons own stab moves.
It would be a very stupid idea. Why have a legendary mascot that can't even use many useful moves of its own type?
Well, they are the same people who replaced Stealth Rock with Struggle Bug and Dragon Pulse and Dark Pulse with... complete and utter crap.
No, Swimming Goggles were supposedly in the game's coding; whoever fabricated that hoax took advantage of the initial chaos after new games are released. CoroCoro, on the other hand, is on the hands of at least a couple Japanese people, and NOTHING said up until now is ground-breaking or mind-shattering. I'd say everything's pretty reliable.
Also, even though it's rare, it gets past Wonder Guard, which is nice. (Although usually Kyurem runs Hp fire anyway.)
What I'm wondering is if we will get an Earth Power move tutor. Being able to hit levitators, even at all, would make Kyurem all the more difficult to switch into and deal with.
By the way, any move/ability speculation on Keldeo's new forme?
Since there's an ehhh okay chance of the feathers representing the musketeer trio, I might be able to see him getting something like...Iron Head, Leaf Blade (I was going to say Giga Drain but no no no), and Rock Slide as options. Not particularly useful unless his stats are re-aligned to favor physical attack but it'd be something I guess.
edit: So apparently the guy who was leaking stuff last night mentioned that CoroCoro is set to reveal another "mythical pokemon" next month...

Genesect coming next month? Take with grain of salt like always.

I think the "mythical pokemon" their talking about was Genesect, if I remember correctly. Although Genesect is hardly "mythical" since it's a cyborg.
...unless they give Genesect an "ancient" forme...
...unless they give Genesect an "ancient" forme...
"mythical" refers to any event legendary
Because it's old and unoriginal.
It's not about competitive bs, but rather about how much a "new form" actually adds to the game. As much as Origin Giratina, heh.
I'd rather have a brand new Pokemon, new backstory, new design, new idea, than a half assed revamp.
