Genesect is not catchable
I dunno. Its ability appears to be stronger than 1.3, and if it's really like Steelworker, not even Sassy/Careful Ferrothorn (252/252) would love to switch into Spec Electroball after some chip damage. That's pretty scary for such a fast Pkm. I think it's going to be OU. Even Assault Vest Tangrowth with a speed reducing nature will have some trouble switching into it if it has some chip damage.
What's the ingame explanation for the new Regis? They clearly aren't made of any materials
From the website, Regigigas made Regidrago out of "crystaline dragon energy", but the people sealed it away because they thought it was just the head of what would be a terrible even stronger beast
Regielekki might have some lore in-game (but I doubt it), and the website just says that the theory is it had insulating equipment put on by ancient people because it kept fucking with them. It's otherwise just made out of electrons
Eleki's in a weird position
Its speed is so ridiculously high you can reasonably just barely invest in it or even ignore it entirely and still just outrun everything
Even for speed demons like Phero eleki just needs 24 evs and a neutral nature and they never outrun without scarf or boosts
It's a fast attacker that has almost no need to invest further in its speed. The only relevant thing that can match its pace is itself.

216 EVs allows you to outpace Modest Rain Kindra and Scarf Genesect lol
The fact that this is even possible is wild
Imo investing in speed is the best option. Fuck it, just go 252 to beat other 'elekis. It has 80 / 50 / 50 base defenses and two resistances lol what else are you going to do with those EVs, max out on Body Slam damage?
You can capture Keldeo
We know there's a Victini gift...somewhere, but we dont know the full context of it; might just be another event thing
Max out on Explosion damage for chunking Zygarde I guess
Also about this
The initial reaction is "why would you do this, this makes shiny hunting way harder!"
That's probably the intent.
It's an online multiplayer mode.
They don't want shiny hunters DCing from a party just because it wasn't a shiny at first glance, because at that point you could be hurting everyone else's experience.
Gotta guarantee that Rapid Spin 10HKO.
" In Giant's Bed, there's a Raid Den where you cannot put a Wishing Piece in. However, this isn't just an empty place but rather the location of Regigigas. If you have Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Regieleki and Regidrago in your party, if you go to the den and interact with it, Regigigas will pull you into a Max Raid Battle. "
Aw man, they Landorus'd Regigigas

So wait, you can catch Keldeo normally? If so does this mean they're gonna "demythicalize" it like Deoxys?
There's one teensy little bit of info missing here: Its also LEVEL 100
Apparently, once you have all 3 swords with you, you go to baltmine lake and make some curry there. Keldeo will be attracted to it and come and fight you.
Anybody could find the new characters customization? I already defeated Galar Star Tournament and nothing
Since there's been some talk earlier about whether the Galarian birds's natures/IVs are locked, I went ahead and did some testing, and I can confirm that they are NOT locked after the cut scene. I loaded up the game while in Peony's house, then went after each bird twice. Each time, they had different natures and different IVs. For good measure, I also tested Cobalion twice, and it was different, as well.
A bit of a side note, but I remember months ago, the datamines said there were apparently 8 new battle themes in the data for Crown Tundra. From what I've experienced so far, I know for a fact these are seven of them:
- Peony
- Legendary Raid
- Calyrex
- Glastrier/Spectrier
- Calyrex Rider Battle
- Galarian Birds
- Regis
- ???
Basically leaves one unknown, which I'm not sure what it is. And so far I haven't found anything that can pinpoint what exactly the new theme is, unless the Galarian Star Tournament has a totally new theme in it.

Can confirm, I just saw an Austin John Plays video about it. Kinda random esp considering Celebi and Deoxys only were obtainable in the main game in new releases of their home gens but I'm not complaining, fuck Mythicals
