Wait, so...

Is there any way to tell what Lurantis' base stats are?

I imagine someone (not me, sadly) could deduce them based on this:

Not the actual leaker that said it.
It's someone else that said it.

Ah, I see.

I don't see Gengar losing the ability, rather gaining one if true.

 

[R_N]

Woah... Binacle plz get it.
Somehow...
Tough Claws Beat Up. :O

Binacle is in Water 3, which mostly has land dwelling water pokemon. Most fish seem to go into Water 2, so some chain breeding would be required in the best case scenario. Which judging by XY, isnt out of the question, I suppose...

Looking at Salazzle's stats it reminds me a lot of a Fire/Poison Heliolisk. Great speed and special attack but horrible defenses. Probably will still use it since none of the other fire pokemon interested me and it's ability is pretty useful. Also Schooling Wishiwashi looks absolutely deadly! Also cool that the starters get special Z moves. Can't wait to see Primaimum Z

I was trying to start on Decidueye's, but ehhh... it's not easy. You're still going to have a huge range. And the fact that they have EVs makes it annoying since you have to do a lot of guess work on what the exact EV total is. Plus still not knowing IVs. You could get a range but it'd be +/- 20-30 points from an average.

Decidueye Z move is 180 base power.
Not bad !

Maybe? I'd assume it'd be hard to estimate since we don't know the EVs. But the Lurantis they have is Jolly at level 35 and the stat spread is:

108/90/75/62/79/53

So it definitely is a very slow mon' for sure if it is Jolly with that speed.

I find it interesting that the leaker specifically said the game was hard, even with him playing with the exp share on. (Yes, I also know he said he was at Pokémon, but really? This game is targeted toward 10 year olds, he can't be that bad at Pokémon. It really seems like these games might be harder.)

I know some friends who had difficulty with BW1, XY and ORAS. Different people react...well...differently.

I'm guessing it's about the same as usual, maybe erring towards easier judging by everyone on melemele but Hau & Hala seemingly having 1 pokemon he just is bad at pokemon. He's also probably rushing through the game and making dumb mistakes as he goes

Dewpider is the bell spider thing, another Water/Bug. Nice one.

Guzma also uses Wimpod's evo.

 

[Erron Black]

Diving Bell Spider now has a name: Dewpider

 

[DFang]

Anything in Diglett or Geodude lines? Diglett should have been island #2

 

[R_N]

Guzma also uses Wimpod's evo.

Interestingly, he fought Gladion with 3 pokemon: Sneasle, Type Null, & Golbat (always with the dang golbat). Kind of wonder if he accidentally added Golbat, though, since Plumeria & Guzma only have 2 and the only Gladion fight we've seen with pokeballs in the trailers has been with 2

 

[GDK]

dewpider is water/bug apparently but the leaker didn't catch it.

He also didn't catch golisopod he just met him.

No mention of them, unfortunately. Everything this guy's shared can be found right here:

Another bug/water in the same generation. I'm still hoping for an improvement on its evolution type wise

Yeah I was wondering about that. I thought maybe they gave Gladion a third mon because he's more of a rival or something, but it could be a mistake. I'm all for him getting a larger team (e: I wish three Pokemon didn't constitute as a larger team).


He spent a while looking for a female Salandit and compared it's encounter rate to combee, I guess Salazzle might be female only.

Same. It's evolution looks too bizarre to be Bug/Water imo, but I also thought that of Golisopod too.

mostly want it to be a different type because i plan on using both in sun

But it's basically just a very stylized diving bell spider with huge bubbles.

Bug/Water for sure.

There really is no telling though? Who thought Decidueye would be Grass/Ghost? Looks don't mean everything.
