SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

886: Chilling Water

The user attacks the target by showering it with water
that’s so cold it saps the target’s power. This also lowers
the target’s Attack stat.

First we have Scald (JP Name: Boiling Water) which burns, and now we have the opposite version which still fuks over physical attackers somehow.
 
I don't get why people use the argument of "they are very close to the estimates people made looking at leaked Stat screens, so they must be real".

The fact that they are close to the estimates people came up with is not an argument for it being real. The one who made the list could have also faked the whole thing while making sure all pokemon with the leaked Stat screens have "valid" base stats based on leaked numbers... It's easy to increase the authenticity that way

I want to talk about this guy. When its typing of Bug/Fighting was first teased, I could not comprehend how a Volcarona could even be a Fighting type. Would it turn into an acrobat and use spinning to attack physically? Would it be a more spiritual fighter like Lucario and use aura in its moves? The closest I got was someone jokingly saying "Mothman was in the game", which made me wonder if it would gain gangly limbs somewhat like Pheromosa and fight with those.

When this image dropped, my mind went with "Oh, it's an overgrown Larvesta that gets to keep its more physically inclined stats". So imagine my surprise when it shows up in the story's final battle standing upright ready to throw hands. "Volc doesn't have hands" is going to age like milk.

I personally love breeding and breeding for my own flawless ivs/egg moves/balls I don’t like using mints and caps (even if it is easier) ughhh THIS is a weird choice

We also have Koraidon for Sun and I think Sandaconda is in right? Sand Spit would set Sand as well. And I was going to say Snow needs another setter, but with that Parting Shot/Snowstorm move I think it is good.
