It's Crabrawler's evo. People are saying that "snowman" could also be taken to mean "yeti," and WELP.

No Dolphin though.

Which is weird as hell since 'rugby Monkey' is otherwise such an off the wall guess.

Ice/fighting... man that's a horrible combination. They really need to do something about ice. It's so bad. Even fire got some boost by resisting fairy.

Ice/FIghting really isn't that bad. 6 Weaknesses, 3 Resists which is roughly as good as Ice gets outside of Water and Steel.

We were somewhere around the Living Hive, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

lmao Alolan Persian...that loving face. I think what they were probably going for is a look like a purebred British Shorthair/British Blue. Those guys usually have big doofy faces.



That coloring is exactly what I wanted to see for regular Shiny Persian. I think I even did a sprite recolor years ago and posted it in whatever iteration of this thread was around 7 or 8 years ago.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


I was thinking that the "Can I Haz Cheezburger" cat was the main inspiration behind Alolan Persian, but most people gravitated towards Garfield.

I hope there's a decent explanation and a cool typing behind it's big head (like say it gains the Psychic typing to become Dark/Psychic).

Signs point to Wishiwashi School Form as being the Dolphin.

To be kind of honest, I thought the regular Persian model's head was too small for it :v:.

My sister messaged me as soon as she evolved a Meowth in Go to complain about how tiny Persian's head is.

Ok then new theory: they stumbled upon pictures of my cat after a shavedown and were inspired.

Do Chinese languages differentiate between dolphins and orcas? The "dolphin" Pokémon may have just been referring to wishiwashi's school form the whole time, which most resembles an orca

Kind of like how snowman=yeti and it went over our heads with the crab

I just hit everything I didn't want to one-shot with an Aerial Ace since it's neutral or NVE against anything you can catch in the demo.

Zore posted:

the blank spaces could have something. There's four blank spaces in a row, which means there could be a 2-stage line that just didn't get programmed into the demo.

but ugh, if there's no dolphin, I am sad. This was the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY.

also, does anyone else think the Alolan Geodude line might be Rock/Electric? and Alolan Diglett/Dugtrio may be Ground/Fairy?

Aerial Ace and level 32 pokemon are usually fine. It's the level 30s that die in one hit. I think the most you can get a reward for catching in the first bout is 3 and not sure if there even are higher tier rewards or if you have to wait x amount of days for them.

Rock/Steel, Electric/Steel, and Electric/Rock are all good magnetic types because they explode upon contact with ground moves

A few NPCs claim that things will happen in X number of days so most likely yes.

Water spider that traps air bubbles is neat and all, but when I first saw it I thought it was a giant virus Pokemon so I can't help but be disappointed.

Some people were saying that when the blue Tapu closes its thing it will look dolphin-y, but imo the leak would have mentioned it were a legendary if that were the case

If they really confirmed it then why is the url "pokemon-sun-and-moon-catch-ultra-beasts-theory"? Shouldn't it be catch-ultra-beasts-confirmation or something.

It’s really lame that Alolan Meowth looks amazing and Alolan Persian is hideous. Alolan Dugtrio is the most incredible, so it evens out. It’s okay. He is my beautiful friend.

I was just really looking forward to Alolan Persian because Persian is one of my Gen 1 favorites... :sadwave:
