this actually just made me even more sad because it means it'll probably be useless sooner rather than later. prove me wrong nintendo and make railbug the next Talonflame or Diggersby, not Vivillion

Vivillon gets Compound Eyes boosted Hurricane and Sleep Powder as well as Quiver Dance. Vikavolt will be doing drat well if it's as good as Vivillon.

I bet it's the codename for the box legendaries - apparently our protagonist saw Tapu Koko on the way to the region or just after arriving.
You know, kinda like Ash with Ho-oh.

EDIT: Well gently caress this is what I get for not paying attention to the names, just the designs :v:

This does make Tapu Koko the first Pokemon that has two separate words in its name. While Porygon-Z kinda counts, it has the dash in its name.

Hey we also say that Zygarde 50% can also turn into Complete Zygarde. Btw does anyone really care about Zygarde anymore?

Wonder if they'll finally let the not-Pikachu evolve so I can use that cute as gently caress porcupine ingame without it falling behind.

We all know that name was a mistake. Though Mime Jr. is a fine name that works with both genders, so that works.

Tapu Koko being very, VERY clearly a bird but also not Flying Type is pretty interesting. Do we know what it's ability is yet?

EDIT: It's Elec Maker. Auto-Weather ability but for Electric Terrain.

Cutiefly is a super cutie bug and Vikavolt is a railgun that evolves from a bug battery. Awesome. I love bugs. Vikavolt is definitely going to be on my team. I love this new batch of pocket monsters!
