Then use hp fighting/ground for better coverage with flying, which will have STAB. I guess if you really really need to hit Skarmory..
 
If flying's a confirmed type and he gets flying moves, sounds pretty good then. Hopefully you'll be able to change forms if you transfer your DP Shaymin...
 
Why, exactly? A DS game cart holds more memory than a GBC one, you know.

I mean, a Diamond/Pearl has only 64mb, while things like Elite Beat Agents and Phantom Hourglass have 128mb, and there's even a game (which name I don't remember) that has 256mb.

Hell, they could put all continents into a single game cart. They just don't do it because they don't want.
I just couldn't possibly imagine them significantly increasing the length of the game like that. And why would they, considering that they could just wait it out and make money off GS remakes anyway?

Shaymin with Seed Flare, Air Slash, and HP Ice. GG Heracross and Breloom, nice knowing you.
 
Hmm, Shaymin being part-Flying means that it has a way to switch in on Garchomp and fuck him up with HP Ice... Good thing.


@ Blame Game: I didn't mean that they will really do that (specially because a separate game would do much more money), just that they could add Johto without nerfing it a little; if I recall correctly, Kanto was nerfed in GSC because the game cart didn't have much more space for a whole new continent, while a DS game cart has plenty of space.

So... uh... Bambi?

So cute!

So what of regigigas? No sky form?
 
Haha, Shaymin's new form is pretty sweet. I'm not to fond of Giratina's alterante form but this one I like.

I wonder if serebii is going to feature that pic "exclusively"?
 
Sky form Shaymin is actually more cuter than it's normal form. It kinda remind me of a poodle mixed in with plant matter.

Does anyone else think that Shaymin new form isn't going to be Grass/Flying, but just have Levitate instead?

Take THAT Carnivine! BOO YA! IN YOUR FACE!
 
Why are you so sure that it's a Flying type?. It doesn't have wings, it has some leafs in the back... I'm not too sure that it's a flying type... if it were, it'd learn Roost, so it could be quite nasty to face with 100/100/100 defenses if it keeps the old one...

See, I'm not sure how this would work if it's like the Deoxys of the old games. If it changes form upon trading, it would be a little weird to have a normal form Shaymin with Roost.

At least with Deoxys, their version exclusive moves were only really worth using on the form that they were acquired on.

Either way, I'm excited to have another Pokemon in the lineup for use in the metagame. Hopefully we'll see another couple of decent ubers with the new Giratina and Regigigas.

I've always thought that Extremespeed Attack Deoxys sounded sexy.
 
The "Sky" Shaymin looks nice. Hopefully the new Sky Form will have a bigger move pool. As for stats, I think they either;
Stay the same or higher speed, Sp.Atk a/o Sp.Def and lower Def, HP a/o Atk. Something like this "keeping the base total" (base);
HP: 80 or 90
Atk: 80 or 90
Def: 80 or 90
Sp.Atk: 110 or 120
Sp.Def: 110 or 120
Spe: 110 or 120

Of course it could a lot different, but this is just a guess..and assuming that this form will be confirmed.

I'd really love it having the Flying type with STABed Air Slash (or Aero Blast :P) and higher Sp.Atk a/o Sp.Def a/o Spe.
 
lol, you guys and your "made up stats", this isn't CAP you know

anyways, that new Shaymin form looks like her evo e__e

I know it's not CAP >_<... I was just having "possible" stats and even if not a man can dream can't he?
 
Remember that this is still unofficial. No one knows the source yet. The art looks fairly Sugimorish, though.

And even though Leafeon is up there with my favorite pokemon designs ever, that Shaymin looks like a better Leafeon than the current Leafeon. :(

They better give us a way to soft-reset for Shaymin or I will do everything in my power to shut them down! In other words, I'll write a strongly worded letter that they won't read.

I know and that's why I said assuming it'll be confirmed. Speaking of Leafeon, one of the posters in this thread mentioned that G.F. guys saying that this form of Shaymin looks like "a failed Eeveelution".

Yeah, Extremespeed was especially useful in ADV because God knows that if Deoxys-A didn't have a move to beat out Ninjask, Electrode and Deoxys-S, he was pretty much worthless. :/

Either way, I highly doubt that that this Shaymin will get Roost if it changes forms upon trading between versions.
 
Don't forget, though, that non-flying types can use roost as well (Scizor). You could perhaps get a flying Shaymin, make it learn roost, and change it back into normal Shaymin. It'll still heal 50%.

:O
