So getting back to a Pokemon I haven't seen a lot of discussion about. H-Electrode could it have a potential niche with a potential leech seed? I'm not sure outside of weather if there is a faster Pokemon who can pull off that set. And having soundproof does alleviate one of the main ways to bypass that protection

8 years? I believe you mean 11 years.
Everything's on here : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...W3dqTVuKt18yzyX2BYDEgb4GF0/edit#gid=553654429.
This post here has now been updated with a list of the hight and weight of the new Pokémon/formes: https://redd.it/s89qxi
Deoxys changing formes across games was a 2005 thing IIRC; active form changing was mostly a Gen IV thing, from 2006 on. So, 7-8 years by 2013 when Megas were introduced, but correct me if wrong.
The Aurora Ticket was 2004. But yeah it wasn't under the Veilstone meteors and the Rotoms that you could actively shift them. In-game changes came in BW with Meloetta and Zen Mode.
Castform.
My man owned you all, there.
Learnset changes are currently not known. We're still waiting
I wonder whether they're measuring to the shoulder on all fours as it's default posture, or if they're measuring the upright posture, as they would have for Ursaring. Crazy if the former.
Either way, quite the chonker of a Pokemon.
It will probably be a solid offensive pivot somewhere around PU-NU thanks to its crazy speed stat and a consistent Volt Switch. Grass STAB really does a lot for it. Subseed sounds pretty mediocre since Electrode can’t do anything against Grass-types so at least Volt Switch variants net momentum.
Yeah that's fair I forgot that Electrode is basically out of luck against grass types
Maybe it'll get Pollen Puff?
Gosh it would be cool...
This is what lack of good STAB does to a mon.
Game Freak, I know you're reading this, get it together!
no one thinks you're gonna be able to transfer mons INTO PLA do they? i certainly have not been expecting it. assumed it would have LGPE syndrome
Extremely unlikely. Transfering TO Legends would cause a data loss, and they don't allow transfers that do it.
Transfers that actually do (es, from Let's Go to gen 8) are always one-way.
Since we know you can transfer *from* Legends, it's almost guaranteed it'll work like Let's Go, where once you move to Home, if you move it to any gen 8 game it can't go back (may even be straight up one way only to Home)
There's a dex entry for Cherrim-sunshine, so Cherrim at least should have some kind of form changing mechanic. Hopefully Cherrim still gets some kind of stat boost in sun-- it's not exactly one of the better grasses even with the boost.
It was lack of STAB + speed + the gradual realization that 123 was not nearly good enough to justify the first two w/o boosting moves. All that coverage means nothing if you're still 3hkoing most walls.This is what lack of good STAB does to a mon.

Motor Drive/Vital Spirit -> add Sheer Force or Galvanize
Stat changes: SpA: 95 -> 89; Spe: 95 -> 101 (or SpA -> 90; Spe -> 100)
+ Fighting secondary type
Something this simple easily gets it to RU, if not low UU. Galvanize addresses STAB (Double Edge and Body Slam) while Sheer Force addresses the coverage issue. You're still shut down by elite physical walls like Tangrowth and don't really really have a way past bulky Water/Grounds like Swampert so it's somewhat balanced for a UU mon. Becomes the perfect Expert Belt candidate while still being walled by enough common shit.

Well considering there are atmospheric conditions... it's likely it's just straight up coded to go in sunshine form when under the sun.
Yes that simple
