SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword and Shield Datamine Thread
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
Yeah, seems viable. It still has some nice physical coverage moves (Steel Wing, Acrobatics), but it seems a bit to be a DDance into DMax Sweeper, if you want a physical one.
but does nec-dm fit in a meta with busted box legends
25% to user and ally
Might be event-only for the time being, like how the SM starters got theirs.
Maybe when you buy Pokémon Home?
Yung Dramps
awesome gaming
New Pokemon that get Defog: Corviknight, Cramorant, Sirfetch'd, Frosmoth
I doubt it. The 1000+ form isn't obtainable, and the 690 form has a functional but unspectacular movepool. It doesn't get any setup moves, so it will only really have one viable set of Dynamax Cannon/Sludge Wave/Flamethrower/Shadow Ball.
Eiscue no Ice Face form has 130 base speed, gets Belly Drum as Egg Move and Max Hailstorm sets Hail to renew Ice Face just in case. Basically if special attackers are gone, this thing is a pretty legit late-game wincon.
BTW, Physical Reshiram is now possible thanks to it learning Flare Blitz and Outrage and Dragon Dance. Not sure how it'll compare to Zekrom though.
EDIT: I just remembered an Adamant Reshiram from White 2 from my pre-competetive days. Now its Viable!!!! Woohoo!

it gets ddance to boost at least speed (for the box legends)
and dynamax poison = spa boost
you can still import old gen mons?
It's the Mega Charizard X we now lack lmao, just doesn't have EQ.
Weezing-G, which is big.
It's an egg move for Corviknight
I think this might be the main set with Blue Flare for special coverage. 120 attack isn't terrible, and with the sheer number of physical threats around, Reshiram differentiates itself by being the only uber that's immune to burns. Fire is also a frankly amazing type in ubers at the moment.
Specs and Scarf also seem viable, as does a special set with Flame Charge imported from a previous gen.
Doesn't matter. Turboblaze ignores Flash Fire.
It's actually quite interesting, as it has different stats, not just the physical invulnerability to separate each forme.
Unfortunately it has a really bad movepool, with Ice Punch and a Skill Link-less Icicle Spear being its more reliable STABs.
According to the datamine, only Celebi can learn Heal Bell. However, the Eeveelutions have had access to Heal Bell in previous generations. If I were to transfer over a Gen VI Sylveon into SwSh, will the game ask me to delete the move (a la Pursuit)?
And Conkeldurr lol
Kyurem learns Sheer Cold BTW.
Just because Toxic is no longer a TM/TR doesn't mean you can't transfer 'mons that could learn it in past gens, right? Kaphotics made it sound like they only force you to delete moves that actually got dexited.
Probably not. Moves have been deleted from learnsets before, and transfers have been allowed (creating discontinued moves).
