Idk, we've already seen Ledyba in Alola are just regular ledyba. It'd be weird to have only the evolution have an Alolan form.

On that note: Where is Alolan Persian, Game Freak? Why are you hiding it from me I want a big black panther baby

Exeggcute in Alola evolve into Alola Exeggutor.

Exeggcute doesn't have an Alola form, just Exeggcutor.

I think that means Alolan Marowak was being preyed on by Bewears. Normal/Fighting and the ones that have Fluffy are weak to fire.

I prefer to think it was their response to one too many games of "cheer up, Emo Kid".

oh my gosh, dat sandcastle ghost. It's got a little shovel on its head. also, pokedex leak deconfirmed, as we expected it would be (and really, what was the point of all that effort if the leaker wouldn't even have much time before it was deconfirmed? idgi).

So what are you guys gonna nickname your pokemon? so far I got
Litten - Brennan W
Mimikyu - Pikaboo
Grubbin - Astro M.Ship
Rockruff - Teen Weredog
Marowak - Robbie Reyes / Ghost Rider
Minior - TLoZMM Moon
Salandit - i honestly got nothing
Mudbray - Bojack, or maybe something to make it clear that this Bojack isn't as messed up.

The new school of fish pokemon: BlueBarracuda
Litten: Red Jaguar
Salandit:OrangeIguana
Senso Style Orocorio: PurpleParrot

I'm still waiting on a Silver Snake and Green Monkey, but if none is revealed I suppose Simisage and Steelix will have to do.

Some more info from Serebii

quote:

Nuikoguma is very popular among women and children, and tops the lists of Pokemon people want to meet. It hates being touched and will kick and struggle to resist. It's very powerful, but once it evolves into Bewear it truly gains herculean strength
Sunabaa is a grudge that dwells inside a pile of sand turns into a Pokemon. Truly a terrifying creature
Shirodesuna steals the life force from other Pokemon. Those Pokemon's grudges turn into a new Sunaba

Apparently they're doing a SuMo manga where the main kid's partner is a Rockruff, which might be why they're being weird about his evolution.
