Battle Bond has been changed, now it increases offences + speed stats after a KO. Ash-Greninja isn’t a thing anymore but it still allows for Battle Bond.

No joke, the more I think about it the more I believe that such an item exists given the similarities to Marowak (low attack and always seen carrying the item that is core to it's motif)
Chimecho was the final index number in RS. And Enamorus is NOT the final index number in legends.
Don't worry the Nat Dex order won't be this.
Alright, just based on stats and abilities alone, who are we thinking will be a beast?
Interestingly, being a Poison type... it'll likely also learn Toxic, even though it's no longer a TM.
I'm not saying I agree with it, but I understand the Recover nerf.

Ugh rellor gets rid of both compound eyes AND shed skin… for synchronize

This defensive spread is insane
This defensive spread is insane
And it has its special intimidate, right?
I am hoping Skeledirge is good
The artifact legends are good contenders, especially the two offensive ones
The pseudo seems pretty good.
All of the paradox seem good.
Clodsire is my favorite right now though.
Chien-Pao is looking like an absolute menace. 135 Speed and 130 Attack with one of the best STABs in the game and an ability that reduces Defense upon entry is immediate OU tier and likely going to get banned pretty early on.
I think it'll have a niche as a stall breaker since it can snowball multiple SpAtt boosts with it's signature move
Wtf mabosstiff has stakeout, i thought that would be a shitmon exclusive ability forever, especially considering spidops

and telepathy!
Also, now that heatran is gone, it's one of the few reliable volcarona (all three forms) checks left. Might be the cherry on top if it got either slack off / roost or Softboiled.
Some have reported them during the titan fights. But personally after watching the streamer to the entirety of the final fight with his starter, it did not activate once.
So maybe only for titans since they can hit quite hard?
did the streamer interact with the Let's Go mechanic (for the sake of this conversation, we'll ignore Star's raids) or the Sandwich minigame a lot?
that's really weird, that it would only be for certain fights. feels like they'd either have them or not, not be selective about it.
Yes but RS is a mess from twenty years ago, and iirc every game since then had only alternate forms after the legendaries, which is what caught my attention this time.
Okay, HELL yes, glad those Dudunsparce stats are real.
Okay, so this thing might actually be good with that bulk and 100 base attack with access to moves like glare and coil. Looking forward to seeing what its learnset is.
On a separate note, holy carp, Scovillain is going to be a nightmare to deal with on a sun team. It has just the right stats to be an insane spammer with moves like solarbeam, solar blade, overheat and fire blast. It's also near perfect coverage outside of dragon types too.
Orthworm seems to be... a worse steelix? Whatever it is, not that impressive.
Garganacl has some amazing bulk for a rock type, its stats are similar to Gigaliths, except for less attack in favour of more HP and SP Def, which is nice.
Brambleghast has me curious, it has a nice attack stat and speed... kind of a faster Trevenant? Poltergeist would hit like a truck with this thing.
