Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Well it's been sealed for a while. They're paradox versions of Cyclizar, basically.
yeah the paranormal magazines are clearly akin to like, tabloids and genre magazines
I love the one Violet paradox that just went straight for "dubious magazine".
Iron Thorns: It has some similarities to a Pokémon introduced in a dubious magazine as a Tyranitar from one billion years into the future.
Like not even something worth getting the "paranormal" label.
The DLC should have the magazine archives imo
All Ultra Beasts have this distinct end sequence to all their cries. the Cosmog line and Necrozma share it as well
(and Eternatus sounds very similar imo, though it is different)
there's a low-pitched slash-like whine in the background of all UBs' cries, including Solgaleo and Lunala.
Nebby's final evolutions also have the prime base stats and prime move levels things (or at least they did in Gen 7, dunno if the Gen 8 standardization removed the move level thing) that UBs had. So it really comes down to whether you consider Beast Boost an important part of the definition of Ultra Beasts. Or "catchable at higher rate by Beast Balls."
I never noticed that cry before, wow
But yeah, I thought it was obvious the Cosmog line (and Necrozma) were all UBs, they just weren't tagged as that because they had appeared before in Alolan history and were thus legendaries.

They are right though. Check the sprites Drive.
Cue conspiracy that Carbink and Diancie are secretly future paradoxes
If the Punching Glove multiplier is anything above x1.3, it might even be worth it to run drain punch as it can get to 117+
Even at x1.2 (like iron fist) it might be worth it at 108. (assuming they stack multiplicatively, not sure how it would work)
While this is a cute bit of design consistency, it's not as strong a definer as "prime base stats and level-up moves" because a lot of Pokemon have all-even base stats.
I think I've noticed someone encountering Flabebé in a stream early. It was around the south somewhere not close to the starting area.
Tinkatink is a rare encounter on ruins. I made sure to pay attention to that one because I really want one.
No coverage?

The problem isn't coverage.
The problem is this Pawmot doesn't have revivial blessing.
A set of
Revivial blessing
Thunder punch
Close combat
Ice punc
Is probably the best
Good point. Thunder Punch would have 108 with two 1.2x boosts active so if drain punch is 90% the power of Close Combat with no drawback and healing then I'd rather use Drain Punch.
Also, I'm pretty sure they'll stack multiplicatively. Most things do iirc.

Ok gotcha, find ruins and in the south.
Discussion from pages 100 to 200 when leaks were spreading like mad

Discussion from page 300 onwards
- Now, which Pawmot set are we rockin.
Love how the meta has developed in the topic itself.

Wait, does that influence which form it evolves into?
I love the idea of 'silent' evolution though. Like suddenly you just go "Wait there's more of them now?"
Actually, it's kinda reminiscent of Shedinja just appearing in your party when Nincada evolves.
It reminds me of breeding too. It's all good and then suddenly a kid pops up.Wait, does that influence which form it evolves into?

question about raids for those who have been playing
has anyone encountered a 7*? those are more than likely the black crystal ones that are unlocked after certain post game events - I know there was a bug in the pre day 1 patch, but since the website talks about them I can’t imagine they’ve removed them.
And is there a wishing star equivalent in this game? the raids probably reset each real time day, but it would be nice to speed that up since the overall raid process seems so much more better than SWSH

Raids work kinda differently, they don't have "dens" (at least, not visibly, I assume behind the scenes they do) and keep respawning constantly.
There's no equivalent for wishing pieces since there's no actual "dens", however the Powers you get from sandwitches can alter the type of raids that do spawn, however.
I thought it wasn't an immunity
Ooo, okay ty! Glad to hear they just respawn at a certain rate rather than once daily.
I'm way too tired. It's an immunity to burn.
Sorry for the missinfo. You take the damage.
These are the calcs I ran for the damage outputs (using base power):
Wild Charge = 90, Close Combat = 120, Drain/Thunder Punch = 75
Drain/Thunder Punch with Iron Fist = 75 x 1.3 = 97.5 technically better than Wild Charge
Drain Thunder Punch with Iron Fist and Punching Glove (assuming 50% buff) = 97.5 x 1.5 = 146.25 better than CC
Drain Thunder Punch with Iron Fist and Punching Glove (assuming 20% buff) = 97.5 x 1.2 = 117 slightly worse than CC (in terms of damage alone)
As such, Iron Fist Thunder Punch is better than Wild Charge, but Iron Fisted Drain Punch is not better than Close Combat. If running Punching Glove, Drain Punch is generally better than Close Combat due to the lack of defense drops and extra healing. (Let me know if I missed something, I may have applied the modifiers wrong)
