So Aurora veil is just Reflect/Light Screen except in one move?

The main dataminer, Kaphotics, has confirmed that Alolan Persian, Diglett, Geodude, Graveler and Golem are real. That's all the Alolan Forms in the game.

So no redemption for Dodrio.

Probably to balance it, it'll be unaffected by Light Clay and may even be a signature move on a Pokemon with a terrible defensive typing.

And Brick Break will still work on it.

seems like it, i'm guessing its going to be a unique move to a single line of pokemon to stop it from making reflect/light screen obsolete entirely

Just judging from the name, it'll probably be signature to a Fairy or Ice type.

the first two popplio forms look kinda crap but i actually like the final form and typically end up with water starters, so i'd pick that

Thinking about it more...

Throat Chop is probably Litten3's signature move, Aurora Veil probably belongs to Popplio3, and Laser Focus probably goes to Rowlet3.

Huh, yeah that adds up pretty well. I kept thinking Throat Chop sounds like a great heel move but didn't have much of reason if the other two don't get signature moves. Nice.

I believe it.

Also I'm crestfallen that the datamine video with the shiny previews at the end shows that shiny Popplio is unbelievably underwhelming. I know that might change upon evolving but come OOON

yeah, i just don't really like the grass line other than the first two forms for different reasons, and the final evo is just kind of stupid-looking. the fire line is...unfortunate. oh boy, some humanoid cat thing that's a wrestler. gamefreak has never explored this territory with the fire starters before.

It's probably going to be like this from now on, with variations and megas of older pokemon to inflate numbers a bit.

I'd be down with that if we didn't know over half of the new pokemon via official trailers.

I mean, I don't blame Game Freak but it's still a little sad. At least Alola variants are closer to new Pokemon than megas are, considering you can use them always and they probably have new movesets.

Watch versions of the three Ultra Beasts be the Event Exclusive Pokemon you've always gotta wait a year or two out to receive.

They made sure everything was leaked ahead of time by their own hand. Even the mythical mons. It was the only solution.

Dude I know! And I might be an outlier here but I love all these guys always have. Litten is my precious kitten son and if he grows up big and stronk and starts chopping people in the throat I know I've raised him right. Popplio can be my beautiful mermaid boy because gently caress the haters. I'm gonna save rowlet for my third run through and name em' Ezio.

Any confirmation on alternate final starter evolutions per the two versions? And any idea just how many new Pokemon there are in S/M?
