SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword and Shield Datamine Thread

ANYONE WANNA EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE GODS OF TERRAIN DONT FUCKING GET THE TERRAIN MOVES???? IM DONE...

they at least won't break every meta they're in
which is a godsend

 

[Siggu]

And Raikou really does learn Scald now.

But WHY!? Wasn't Milotic being able to use Triple Axel without legs enough?

 

[Lectrys]

Can Calyrex keep Taunt if it learns the move as Ice Rider, then becomes Shadow Rider? Come to think of it, can you make Calyrex swap horses in the same game?

iirc they had them in the IoA datamine so it sounds like they went "mmmm, let's...not"

 

[fratelli bc]

Actual mood

Also, Blacephalon doesn't get Scorching Sands... Sad

 

[Tmi489]

any word one which mons are excusive?

the horses are gifts and arent exclusive to version but you can only pick one / game (like urshifu towers)
legendaries are prob the same exclusive pairs we've seen (like hooh for sword, lugia shield), but you can join another person's raid

We call this "balance"

Seeing that only Ice Rider gets Body Press due to its steed learning it, I have a feeling that Calyrex will shed all of its moves when dismounting, but I guess someone will have to test it.

 

[Missingno.1998]

I really hate how they made pretty much all of the new mons so straight forward, like you can only do pretty much one thing with them, and they can barely do that. Like G-Moltres has to be an attacker, since it lacks any sort of recovery to use its good bulk.

Well at least my baby Regidraco has Dragon Dance and the fang moves.

 

[Windingsss]

If Lele doesnt learn Expanding force im gonna quit this game

 

[Siggu]

Talking about Dragon Dance, HOME was right in that Garchomp still doesn't get it.

 

[S. Court]

If Lele doesnt learn Expanding force im gonna quit this game

Well, do you want to join lyd in Bakugan then? Because I have some bad news...

 

[earl]

Serebii stats for the rider forms are just placeholder Necrozma stats

 

[R_N]

fwoofy......

 

[mferg]

Was hyped for Koko and Lele being busted, but considering GF primarily balances for VGC and they're unrestricted, not too big of a surprise they ended up bailing on those two specifically.

 

[Peaches144]

fwoofy......

This begs the question "How do we evolve Cosmoem into Lanala or Solgaleo?" Are the flutes like evo stones now?

 

[Lectrys]

Finding more inconsistencies between the data miners and Serebii: the data miners say that Calyrex Shadow Rider can learn Taunt via TR, while Serebii says it can't.

 

[Geodude6]

Do we have base powers for the new moves?

 

[Fusion Flare]

This begs the question "How do we evolve Cosmoem into Lanala or Solgaleo?" Are the flutes like evo stones now?

Lunala is shield, solgaleo is sword, you just lvl em up

 

[Windingsss]

Goodbye 10 teams i did with Expanding Force Lele

 

[Mario With Lasers]

fwoofy......

All is forgiven

 

[Joseph Gomes]

I wonder if Tapu Lele move down to UU?

 

[R_N]

This begs the question "How do we evolve Cosmoem into Lanala or Solgaleo?" Are the flutes like evo stones now?

This was solved back in gen 7 to begin with, and they've been available since Home came out. Cosmoem evolves based on version at level 53

Fwoofy vs Nebby, who would win a Death Battle?
