SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword and Shield Datamine Thread

[AmbientDinosaur]

May as well throw in my two cents about some these moves.

Terrain Pulse:
Weather Ball for terrains? Could be fun. Also, I feel like Galarian Stunfisk should've had something like Terrain Pulse as a signature move, except physical instead.

Poltergeist:
I would be disappointed if Poltergeist hasn't some sort of Trick/Switcheroo side-effect, so I could see it being 50-60BP move with item-switching. And for some absolute mayhem, what if it switched all items in a double battle?

Corrosive Gas:
A Poison-type Freeze-Dry is what I hope for, but I think an upgraded Poison Gas that can hit Steel-types is closer to what we will get.

Dual Wingbeat:
I would love if it was a Flying-type Bonemerang, but probably more likely to be a Flying-type Dual Chop. Hopefully not a Double Kick clone, and a Flying-type Double Iron Bash would be ridiculous (imagine if Salamence got that).

Triple Axel:
What could it be? A status move, a multi-strike move or a Rapid Spin clone? Personally, I hope for something similar to Triple Kick, where each hit has its own accuracy check. Unlike Triple Kick however, I can see each hit have a higher base power, but also lower accuracy, around the 80-85 mark. This would reflect the difficulty of landing a Triple Axel jump in real life.

Steel Roller:
Not sure exactly what it could be, but it could so easily be a Steel-type Steamroller, which would be fantastically underwhelming.

Flip Turn is not really a "generic" acrobatic move, it's a specific maneveur in swimming (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumble_turn). The archetypal Pokémon that I would expect to be able to use this move are the likes of Poliwrath and Golduck, Pokémon that are built like Olympic swimmers. I expect it to be distributed fairly liberally anyhow, but Urshifu specifically is a Pokémon that I think WON'T get it; it seems to have a very tenuous relation with swimming or water itself, with its Water type powers coming from a very fluid form of surge energy or some shonen mumbo jumbo like that. An ursine Pokémon that is a more likely candidate would be Beartic, since white bears spend their entire lives swimming. Other non Water types that could get it are Pokémon that are known to be good swimmers like Dragonite, Lugia or Grapploct, while more sessile Water types like Toxapex, Corsola don't sound like they would fit the mold. Neither really do bodybuilder Pokémon that don't swim like Machamp, for example.

Interesting, I didn't know that. That being said, in terms of base power it'll probably be exactly like water type uturn, physical with 70 base power. And if youre right it doesnt seem like too many of the broken offensive waters (except maybe gren and to a lesser degree mega pert) should get it.

 

[Sabrosano]

I know it might be a little early for speculation, but I'm really excited to have a good special rock-type attack, because ever since the Sun and Moon games I've been dreaming of having a rock-type special attack that maybe Solrock and Lunatone could have learn.

This move could be related to the space and would have the word “meteor/meteorite” in it's name, it could be learned by all the pokemons that learns Cosmic Power (except maybe for Xatu, Sigilypgh and Gothitelle); all the fossil pokemon could learn it because it's related to the Cretaceous – Paleogene extinction event (I know that not all fossils are based on animals that lived in those eras but I think that it is understood that it is related to meteor extinction); also the ultra beasts could learn it because they are from the Ultra Space (just because Nihilego needs a better rock type attack than Gem Power xD) and maybe some extra pokemons like the Creation trio, Diancie, Rayquaza and Probopass

It's just my imagination and maybe this new move (Meteor Beam) isn't great, maybe it's an exclusive move, or maybe only a few Pokemon can learn it, or maybe it's not even a rock type move.

 

[MOOSHROOM333]

there are new pokemon home datamine leaks! they're all over twitter. (https://twitter.com/CentroLeaks)
the stuff in parentheses are my guesses.
new abilities:
- Quick Draw (クイックドロウ) (slowbro?)
- Unseen Fist (ふかしのこぶし) (urshifu)

new items:
- Max Honey (money item?)
- Max Mushrooms (money item?)
- Galarica Twig (slowbro evo item?)
- Galarica Cuff (slowking evo item?)
- Style Card (key item?)
- Armor Pass (key item?)
- Exp. Charm (key item?)
- Armorite Ore (no gd clue)
- Mark Charm (key item?)

i don't think any of the items will have battle effects based off of the names tbh, or at least very unlikely.
(assuming the evolution items don't work like kings rock/metal coat etc. and have 2 functions)

the only ones i think could possibly impact battle are
- Max Honey
- Max Mushrooms
- Galarica Twig
- Galarica Cuff
- Armorite Ore

and this is best case scenario i think.

 

[lepton]

Quick Draw: sounds like a slowbro sig ability, with the shell side arm move suggesting some kind of gun motif. Thinking something along the lines of the first move you use when sent out has priority.

Unseen Fist: Definitely Urshifu ability, i dont feel i need to explain why. no idea what it would do aside from maybe something akin to long reach?

Armorite Ore: almost certainly some kind of key item, but could possibly be a new fossil

Max Honey/Mushrooms: prob money item, but could also be a held item that triggers when u dynamax

Mark Charm is the only other item i could see having in in-game effect, but i doubt it. all the other items seem p obviously evo or story items.

edit: idt you can send items thru home, so i severely doubt the data would be in the update. leaning towards fake on this one.

While items can't be sent to HOME, Pokémon games have all sorts of seemingly useless placeholder data within them, likely because they tend to share a lot of common codebase. It's entirely possible that there is item data inside HOME. It's fine to be skeptics anyway, but considering all these leaks came from the same source, I don't think you can apply skepticism selectively; either all the CentroPokémon recent HOME leaks are fake, or none of them is (barring genuine good-faith blunders).

 

[Worldie]

I will throw my 2 cents: assuming that leak is true, have you considered that the two Galarica items might be Slowpoke's evolutionary items?

 

[Count Bleck]

I am starting to think that the Shell Side Arm move is gonna be for another unseen pokemon. Idk, between that and Quick Draw i dont think Slowbro is gonna be shooting pokes at High Noon anytime soon.

Now whats interesting is the Mark Charm. Marks, for those who only play Showdown, are the special titles you get randomly in the wild or completing certain conditions, such as becoming champion or beating the battle tower. Gonna take a wild guess and say the Mark Charm allows youbto find these titlea more easily, since there are several that can only be found by wild pokemon, breeding and raid battle mon wont have them

 

[AmbientDinosaur]

That absolutely seems to be the case, considering how the in-game explanation of Galarian Slowpoke's different appearance is due to eating Galarica Seeds.

 

[Whitephoenixace]

I am just gonna put it out there and say that if these items are real , not a single one is in battle item (unless the galarica items are like kings rock and have their own secondary affects).

Max honey and max mushrooms could possibly be curry ingredients as opposed to sale items.

Style card, exp charm and mark charm are definitely all key items.

Armorite ore points in no way to being a fossil as all fossils specificially indicate fossil and the lasst time it didnt was in reference to aerodactly from several gens ago who instead is in the old amber. At mist it would be a pokemon specific iten but I highly doubt it will be a useable in battle item.

Regardinf the new ability , we will have to see what kind of mon galar slowbro turns into. It heavily implies its psychic poison so its really not clear how that may tie into its design. Maybe someone can check the other raw translations for quickdraw ? But we definitely havent been promised any other new mons, though that doesnt kill the ideq of any new regional variants either so it could very well belong to something else. I definitely feel shell side arm and quickdraw arw tied to each other thiugh even if galar slowbro doesnt learn it. Quickdraw could potentially instead of relating to guns actually relate to being able to think fast so it could possibly still relate to slowbro regarding galar variants that are often different from the original in some way.

 

[Project_Mars]

They have to be. From the official site:

The Slowpoke of the Galar region used to eat the seeds of a certain plant that grew in their habitat, as this was their favorite food. These seeds were in fact Galarica seeds, used to this day as an essential spice for cooking. The Slowpoke in Galar built up particles of this spice in their bodies over several generations, eventually gaining the

 

[Whitephoenixace]

Also to add this as I just looked at galar slowpokes dex entry :
"The Slowpoke of the Galar region used to eat the seeds of a certain plant that grew in their habitat. These seeds were in fact Galarica seeds, used to this day as an essential spice for cooking in the Galar region. The Slowpoke in Galar built up particles of this spice in their bodies over several generations, eventually gaining the unique appearance and behavior they are known for today. Galarian Slowpoke spend their days wallowing on seashores and riverbanks without thinking about anything in particular. Occasionally, they might get a very sharp look in their eyes, but they will soon revert to their zoned-out expression. It's thought that this behavior is caused by the accumulated Galarica particles stimulating Galarian Slowpoke's brain, resulting in it thinking of something tremendous—only for the Galarian Slowpoke to immediately forget what it had just thought of. Galarian Slowpoke can evolve into Galarian Slowbro if an item that can be found on the Isle of Armor is used. It can evolve into Galarian Slowking instead if an item that can be found in the Crown Tundra is used."


We see here reference to the very same "galarica" in the names of the items. With some spices being twigs of trees
Not sure how cuff relates to spices though or it could just be a cuff made of the spice in question. It is also said ti suddenly have razor sharp focus due to the spice stated here so that could also speak to it then becoming a sharpshooter due to the effects on its brain.

 

[dodiabla]

My quick guesses, assuming this is a real leak (has anyone even confirmed the last one?) are:

—Max Honey and Max Mushrooms: Either curry ingredients or items we use on our Pokémon to make them gigantamax. Then again, Honey is used to attract Pokémon and mushrooms are money items so maybe they also have related functions?

- Galarica Twig and Galarica Cuff: definitely slowpoke evo items. The Twig and Cuff are interesting items; I wonder if we’re gonna get a wizard (twig turns to a staff)/knight (cuff turns into armor/lance) split evo.

- Style Card: something to do with character customization.

-Armor Pass: key item that lets you get to the isle of armor dlc.

- Exp. Charm: something like an exp share that lets you give more/all exp to one Pokémon instead of the whole team.

- Armorite Ore: either it’s a way to access tutor moves (similar to shards) or it’s a way to access Gigantamaxing.

- Mark Charm: no idea, but I think Count Bleck is probably right.

 

[Yung Dramps]

Honestly real or fake I couldn't care less about most of these and really just want a G-Max Move leak of some sort

 

[Siggu]

Armorite Ore sounds like it's a new mining material from World of Warcraft.

And about the Exp Charm... if I remember correctly, when the DLC was announced, they mentioned something that was going to affect experience. Maybe it's this item.

 

[Whitephoenixace]

As someone stated prior gmax moves seemingly arwnt stored in the code. In any case even if they were only gmax movws left to reveal are the urshifu sigs as the starters gmax moves have been revealed already to be stronger and moldbreaker moves.

I was thinking that we could see moves for unrevealed G-Max forms, but fair enough on the code thing.

frankly I only care at all because I want new material for one of my pet mods

Gmax Venusaur and Blastoise say Hi.

 

[Whitephoenixace]

Ok fair on that. I wasnt sure whoch dlc they were added so was unclear. Als i translated the japanese for unseen fist .

This is what I got not sure what it may allude to or if a native or fluent japanese speaker /reader can identify anything by this.

You can see items in Home by viewing the summary of a mon with a held item, same with Bank and its item data.

No, 不可視(ふかし) means unable to be seen, unseen. There are a lot of homophones in the language (albeit I don’t know if this is a specific case of that or just google translate being bad, I don’t know the Japanese word for fluffy).

So yeah, it is “Unseen Fist”

 

[Rarycaris]

Unseen Fist was also officially announced as the name for Urshifu's ability when it was first unveiled. So that is, 100%, the correct translation.

 

[Whitephoenixace]

Yes but some moves have different namea when translated directly to enlish instead of the original given name. So i wanted to see if there may have been somehting else. For example Sucker punch in japanese is "surprise attack" and night slahs is "crossroad cutting". Good to know this one at least still retains a similar meaning.

 

[Pyritie]

I don’t know the Japanese word for fluffy

I've seen them use both もふもふ /mofumofu and ふわふわ /fuwafuwa for "fluffy", both onomatopoeias

 

[Hematite]

I will be wrong on this, but I'm going to say with 90% confidence that Galarian Slowbro is meant to wield a sword, not a gun. A "shell" is the hand guard of a sword, "quick draw" makes perfect sense for drawing a sword from its shell, and the games are Sword and Shield. Also matches "armor" better than a gun, and we all know Slowking is going to have something to do with a "crown," so... I mean, why do you think they picked these two to be their promotional duo?
For that matter, the one glimpse we had of its design suggests inspiration from a noble of some kind with a cravat, and I think drawing from something like swordfighting in a style that's supposed to be elegant and formal (like... I dunno, fencing? help me I don't know enough about swords) would make sense enough to follow through on that - more so than something obviously violent like a gun. We have other Pokémon that draw inspiration from firearms, if usually stylized cannons and such rather than straight-up wielding guns I say in the Generation that gave us Inteleon... but even that's just a joke on finger guns, but for some reason I'm having a hard time picturing Slowbro joining their ranks.
(I'm guessing it's gonna be something silly like... Slowpoke fishes up a Shellder with a Galarica Twig, and then the Shellder evolves around the twig instead of its tail and becomes the shell of a sword.)

Since none of this is at all interesting except Quick Draw, what do you guys think that'll do? Based on Galarian Slowpoke's flavor text, as Whitephoenixace shared, I'm wondering if Slowbro is going to be super slow most of the time as always but gets circumstantial priority on some of its moves (like it has priority on its first turn in battle, or it goes first once "in a pinch" like the Custap Berry) - the former in particular would be an interesting gimmick for speed control and revenging sweepers.
It could also be the opposite - something that triggers only when it does go first, like the Fossil moves - and if it is indeed sword-related, I'm betting that it'd be a (boosted rate? guarantee?) for a critical hit when it strikes first... Or just inverse Analytic.
"Has priority on its first turn and then is super slow" is probably my favorite of these guesses, though.
