Pokémon Sun & Moon Discovery Discussion Thread [Contains Story Spoilers]

Salandit's evolution is called Salazzle and remains Poison/Fire.

Hopefully we'll find out about Morelull's evolution to see if it's Poison/Fairy or not today! I'm also really intrigued to find out about the typings of the crown of thorns, the bell spider and the anchor!

Shiinoptic (Morelull evo) is already confirmed grass/fairy

We have ourselves a Popplio:

Looks like Pikipek keeps its Normal/Flying type upon fully evolving. Such a waste IMO. We have loads of them already and I don't see Toucannon being any better than Staraptor, one of the only good non-Mega Normal/Flying Pokemon (that I can remember). Also if only female Salandit are capable of evolving, I'm okay with that as long as it doesn't have an abysmal male to female ratio the way Combee does. That would be horrific especially for those like myself who want a shiny one.

As for Decidueye's poor speed, it's quite surprising and a bit disappointing considering it looks like it would be a fast Pokemon. I'm not overly fussed though. As its defensive and has Spirit Shackle, it'll fit perfectly into the team I'm working on so that's cool for me.

Lol Popplio outspeeds Rowlet AND looks like it has good bulk...

Looks like the dataminers officially have a copy of the game so I'd definitely get off the internet if you want to avoid spoilers!

 

[Sulfurian]

I tink that the standard set will go Adamant and be purely Physical, actually, with the Mixed and Special Variants seeing less play.

If the attacking stats are equal, I could see mixed being used more than you think, firing off leaf storms among physical other moves

i'm ready for disappointment wrt post game encounter tables

 

[Sakuraba]

As long as there's no plot spoilers, I'll be fine.

 

[Happy Hydreigon]

Since the data miners have their hands on the games now, and Lurantis is edging on the main part of the plot, I think this is my queue to bounce, time to log out until the 23rd, bye bye guys.

toucannons attack stat is higher than even staraptor, i still like staraptor better. Toucannon looks more like a status user than a battle pokemon, Staraptor looks like a proper battle pokemon.

Starter Stats and Moves datamine video from SciresM

Incineroar ends up slower than Decidueye apparently but they say the starters this gen average out to below 70 in terms of speed, even Primarina is slow. Primarina's HA turns all "sound based" moves to Water-type.

Toucannon is still firing off those Skill Link-ed Rock Blasts with that high Atk stat. That's going to hurt bad

Same. I am going to get away from the leaks to avoid the spoilers. I think I have all I have to know before the release. Now I want to discover by myself during my playing time!

 

[Leviticus20:13]

So the starters will all be slow? lol Good thing i plan on getting talonflame early.

O yeah, that's why Vikavolt is on my main team, i want to take out any Toucannons before they can start sweeping.

guhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i knew it was going to happen, but i was still hoping that there would be SOME move tutors this time but no its just the usual fair.



also decidueye's ability, while interesting, is also so overtly niche

 

[Sulfurian]

Lmfao at all the starters speed. That's bound to cause an uproar.
