Ghost also has the issue of having gently caress-all for physical moves.

Considering your choices are

Lick- poo poo
Astonish- poo poo
Shadow Sneak- Ghost type Quick Attack
Shadow Punch- Ghost type Feint Attack
Shadow Claw- Ghost type Slash
Phantom Force- Ghost type Fly

Physical ghosts are kinda screwed on that front. I gotta hope Rowlett and Mimikyu are special attackers.

Well, Decidueye gets Spirit Shackle, which the site says is physical, so there's probably hope there.

Yeah, that's basically the best hope.

Remember the good old days when Ghost was physical and there were no physical ghosts? Also Flareon ran it for coverage.

Oh, poo poo, I thought it was just another Mean Look/Block, I didn't realise it did damage too. That's good to know.

Even if it doesn't pin down Ghost types, it could potentially deal a good amount of damage to them depending on its BP. I could see it being a very useful trapping move in that case.

Was the Red/Blue et al stuff indicated in the leaks at all? There was a video showing supposedly all the intros.

Either way, it is a really cool surprise to me at least.

See I saw it as Cosmog -> That other sealed form people think is for Sun Lion -> Whichever version legendary your game is, like Lycanroc.

It's probably just a type swapped Smelling Salts. Still wouldn't make it any less situational. It could have comboed well with Scald if it wasn't already a water type move.

After 6 generations of picking Water starter I might actually get a Fire one now.

Also guessing now that Bull Tiki thing is Grass/Fairy, that Marshadow thing is going to be Fire/Fairy since that apparently has a unique typing.

This will be the first pokemon that I start fire, Litten. I usually start water, but it seems like there is no sense. I still look back to my pokemon blue cart and Squirtle, such a good starter.

His tree tail is dumb.

Gen IV was also literally a dice roll because they are still the best overall group of Starters and are all good friends.

I wonder if Psychic Terrain either prevents Dark attacks from going through (which would be neat) or it's even more priority hate and prevents priority attacks?

Tikis having terrain as a gimmick is alright enough, but I had to remind myself what they did and they're meh:

Electric means no grounded pokemon can fall asleep which could be kinda useful in singles maybe.

Grass gives everything leftovers basically. Maybe Bull Tiki could be some kind of super stall, that gets destroyed by Poison.

Misty prevents all status conditions which is funny cause it's a straight upgrade from Electric, unless you want to status the opponent.
