So sadly turns out Duraludon whose codname is Haganedoragon is going to be like Druddigon, Drampa, and Turtanator in that it's a single stage Dragon Pokemon

Where did you get that codename from.

Also regarding your stats Trainer Yusuf, Duraludon is likely to be comparable to Druddigon, Drampa, and Turtanator in terms of stats..

Thank you.

I wonder if only the Fartech'd caught in Galar can evolve into Sirfetch'd due to: "Farfetch’d that inhabit the Galar region can evolve into Sirfetch’d after experiencing many battles." as the website states.

Since Kalos, we have unique origin markings to declare if a Pokémon is bred in Kalos, Alola or in other regions, specifically for online competitions. We have:

— Kalos

— Alola

— Kanto, Johto (VC)

Which means, we will have a new one for Galar. What if that symbol will be necessary, as in indicating Farfetch'd is Galar native, in order to evolve into Sirfetch'd? Was planning to shiny-hunt one in LGPE, but that had me in doubt.

I think regional evolutions like Sirfetch’d will most likely work like Alolan formes that evolved from regular Pokémon(like Marowak and Exeggutor). Meaning that where the Pokémon is right now is what matters, not where it originated from.

Here are my thoughts on the new pokemon and the moves they could possibly learn, as well as moves I hope they learn. Not including the starters because they can change so much by their final evolutions:

What if that symbol will be necessary, as in indicating Farfetch'd is Galar native, in order to evolve into Sirfetch'd?

The requirement could also be "compete in X number of matches in Galar" i.e. any Farfetch'd from any region can evolve as long as it competes in a number of matches in Sword & Shield.

Either way, if we really are getting cross-gen evolutions again, I'm hoping they will be able to evolve in future games too. It feels so gimmicky to have an evolution that you can only obtain in one game.

Also for Obstagoon, I wish they gave an evolution to regular Linoone instead of giving it to its regional variant. In fact, I would prefer if they gave cross-gen evolutions to older Pokemon in need (like they did in Gen 4) instead of introducing variants that we will only see in one game. So many of the older standalone Pokemon feels "incomplete" to me.

 

[Orphalesion]

I really would like for Rolycoly to evolve into some sort of diamond (since coal under pressure becomes diamond and all) but I'm not sure how likely that is...

 

[Dicklaycia]

I get more of the vibe that Rolycoly will evolve into a train-esque Pokémon due to the wheel it has and the association with coal and steam engines. Plus, I feel the Galar region is rife with industry and has a railroad system so a Pokémon like that would make sense.

 

[ShadowForce720]

Well with Duraludon being a standalone pokemon that means that it can be ruled out as the Pseudo Legendary of the region. That being said I wouldn't be that surprised if it has a Gigantamax form. Also since it's a single stage Dragon type pokemon like Drampa, Turtonator, and Druddigon it means that it will probably have a base stat total of 485 like they do, although it is possible that it could have a different base stat total from then but if it does then I would expect that it would probably have a higher and not lower base stat total when compared to them.

Yay.

485 BST means it should have something like 70/90/100/90/65/70 stats (though since it is a rival of Tyranitar its BST will likely be comparable to Aggron or at least Cryogonal as it won't likely get a Gigantamax form). Its official lore says its open to corrosion but it is supposedly very quick due to its light armor, so it should have really crappy Sp. Def to compensate for high Speed.

I guess it will either have a Special version of Dragon Dance or be a "double-dancer" using a combo of Metal Sound (since it can't get Nasty Plot or Calm Mind) and Rock Polish.

Edit: Corrected for ShadowForce720's comment.

 

[sketchersmeargle]

As much as I would love a train-like evolution for Rolycoly. It could just very well turn into a mine cart carrying coal you know.

Uh, just pointing this out but it's still possible that Duraludon could get a Giagantamax form.

True but i hope they go for the train design and have it be Rock/Fire

 

[Kingudora]

While I don't think Rolycoly turn into a full-blown train, I still think it will become more mechanical as it evolves. Most likely based on a steam engine, considering its ability is called Steam Engine.

Would be pretty cool if we had a Thomas the Tank engine Pokemon lol. It's Thomas the Tank Engine Pokemon! He's here to chew coal and kick ass and he's all out of coal!

Duraludon's Steel Beam has 140 power and Tyranitar is OHKO'd in sand.

Assuming calculations;
0 SpA Floette-Eternal Light of Ruin (140 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tyranitar in Sand: 152-180 (73 - 86.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO — Floette has 125 base SP.ATK stat.
0 SpA Kyogre Water Spout (150 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tyranitar in Sand: 188-224 (90.3 - 107.6%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO — Kyogre has 150 base SP. ATK stat.

Duraludon has at least 140 SP. ATK, if not more.

But can he fly?

Now with a demo being in Japan. Impidimp's japanese name has been confirmed to be Berobar. Bero is Japanese for Tongue. & berobero means licking. I have no idea what bar means in this context though. Impidimp seems to have some sort of licking theme at least according to it's Japanese & German names. It's German name is Bähmon. Bäh means a sound of sticking your tongue out mockingly & mon is short from demon. I have no idea what dimp in Impidimp means though.

edit. the Kanji in it's name. (ベロ) means bero. while バー (bar) is probably shortened from something. Since the only thing I found by googling is Bar as in the place that sells drinks, & I'm pretty sure it doesn't come from that.

Another edit. I saw somebody on twitter theorize that bar might come from Baal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baal
