SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword and Shield Datamine Thread

[Spyro]

When will Showdown be updated?

 

[chimp]

Hey all: Correction, Pyukumuku does NOT learn Scorching Sands, I misread it. Apologies!

 

[roxie]

When will Showdown be updated?

"New pokemon from the DLC is not implemented yet. We are working on programming them in now. Please be patient."

 

[DreamPrince]

Do we know how Kubfu evolves?

 

[Goatee McGee]

I love how this many people are spamming if "volcarona learns scorching sands". I think we should stop with the eufemism and rename the question to "does volcarona kill heatran or not?"

Look on the bright side we won't get hearten for another 5 months. Volcarona will rain supreme without such a hard counter. I wouldn't be shocked if it jumps to A+, or even S rank, in viability.

 

[Thezombiie212]

So, does Magnezone get anything to help it beat Ferro or is he DOA

 

[roxie]

Do we know how Kubfu evolves?

does it not evolve into urishifu?

Chansey and Mantine wall Volcarona pretty hard. It'll still be amazing, but yea.

Did we know Heracross gets Spikes now? That's a thing.

Thatll be excellent for setting them up on forced switches

Speaking of spikes sandslash gets them too when i believe it couldnt before

Clefable and CKnights everywhere, possible rise of zone even with the new body press skarms, skarm itself, more teams around grassy terrain -which indirectly helps volc to gain bulk-, and the absence of Heatran. I think Volcarona will enjoy the scene.

the closest option is body press, but it takes a lot of EVs just to do a quarter of it's HP (that took around 120 EVs).

 

[War Incarnate]

Keldeo gets Flip Turn? This makes literally no sense because of Keldeo's flavor.

I like how GF gives some of the weirdest moves to the weirdest pokemon. It's odd.

Of these only vaporeon, sharpedo, barraskewda and milotic are viable imo unfort. I rlly hoped more bulky waters or offensive waters got it

 

[Tmi489]

Do we know how Kubfu evolves?

you beat either the water tower or the dark tower and it evolves there
(this was revealed fairly early but i dont have any details)

Hey, Keldeo could... kinda use it? I don't really know smh, but then again, so could Wishiwashi, and probably Starmie.

IMO U-Turn already has too broad distribution for how powerful it is, so I'm glad Flip Turn is a bit more restricted. Still thematically it's kinda weird what got it, but oh well.

Idk, Specs Flip Turn Primarina sounds like a good inmediate breaker that it's not a momentum sink at least

A Pokémon without limbs can use Triple Axel.

 

[R_N]

A Pokémon without limbs can use Triple Axel.

It's just that elegant

 

[War Incarnate]

A Pokémon without limbs can use Triple Axel.

That's gotta be illegal, like Heracross getting Spikes (of all things it could've gotten, give it Knock Off already smh)

Ah so a Skill Link mon does get it.

 

[Siggu]

So elegant it can use kicking moves without legs. Might as well give it High Jump Kick as we're at it.
