SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

It feels like people are figuring out everything EXCEPT how the ruin abilities work lol. Those mons will easily be some of the most impactful on the meta, and we still have no idea how they work.

Are they an aura effect? Do they trigger on entry? Is it something else entirely? No clue!

I’d go as far to say we can’t make any assumptions how the meta will look until we know how these abilities work, since these mons will be everywhere.

last respects being +50 per mon is just really sus. Even 1 dead teammate makes it a more reliable poltergeist (just with 10 less power). It even gets to be a 10pp move lmao.

That's without Adaptability, it's rain. I think we've found the new Barraskewda.
Day 1 on Showdown is going to be filthy with Final Gambit/Explosion suicides + Supreme Overlord hijinks + Last Respects cheese. For the price of half your team and one rain setter in ritual sacrifice, you too can unleash the Shogun of Sweep™ and his funny fish unto your foes.

It learns SP ??
 
Dragapult still doesn't get Shadow Claw?
Why?
Giratina, Garchomp, Haxourus, Salamence, Bewear and Ceruledge gets both Dragon Claw and Shadow Claw.
Hell, Roaring Moon get DD, Dragon Claw, Shadow Claw, Crunch and Jaw lock.

Why can't GF let Dragapult get Good physical ghost stab?
Giving it a Physical Ghost move in the same Gen as having Tera Fighting and can choose between Special or Physical would be an absolute nightmare to deal with.
 
As the above have said, it's still Pawmi. Traditions can and do change, and this is one of them. Makes sense since Pikaclones are a weird tradition anyway - lots of folks count Mimikyu as one and it's not an Electric type, some count Marill due to Pikablu, whilst Pichu is part of the Pikachu line it's probably the Johto Pikaclone and can evolve, so it's a mess. A funky mess, but a mess all the same.
Wouldn't the term regional rodent clear things up?
 
Primeape ->Annihilape: Use Rage Fist 20 times
So we can evolve Annihilate but not Wyrdeer or Overquil....

But does it shows the debuffing animation on the foe?

Or does it just activate and have an always active background effect like Fairy Aura?
