If I recall, its one of the very few Pokemon that can have more then the standard 3 abilities (two regular and a hidden ability). Most of those that have more often have different forms as well (Like Basculin or Meowstic).

Yeah, Lycanroc has the most potential abilities of any Pokemon at 6; Keen Eye, Sand Rush, Vital Spirit, Steadfast, No Guard and Tough Claws split between its 3 formes.

Rockruff, Basculin and Meowstic have 4 and that's it for pokemon with more than 3 iirc.

Chandelure and Scolipede might count if you consider they had coded but unobtainable HAs in Gen V that were changed in Gen VI (Quick Feet for Speed Boost and Shadow Tag for Infiltrator)

Not sure if you can include ability changes between generations, but a few Pokemon with Mega Evolutions and regional variants may exceed 3 as well. Camerupt can have 3 abilities in its standard form while Mega Camerupt as one that's different. Ninetales can have 4 abilites (2 for regular, 2 or Alolan).

Every time I see basculin I'm miffed that they wasted the bass pokemon on such a heap. I would've loved an evolutionary line that was something like Bluegill-->Bass or even the former with a Striper as the third evolution.

If a non-legendary pokemon can be found in the ultra wormhole, a shiny version of one is going to be a matter of playing the minigame until double rainbow portals show up.

The wormhole at the Altar of the Sunne/Muune is a minigame instead of just a day/night swap. It's where all the legendary Pokemon and ultra beasts are encountered save one of the new ones. As Solgaleo/Lunala continue flying, the exit portals become rainbow colored and get more bands. It's either normal Pokemon or Legendary Pokemon that appear. The normal ones have a crazy high shiny chance.

E: speaking of the legendary Pokemon

Lugia seems to use the Soul Silver music and not the Gameboy music like the Legendary Dogs do.

Ho-Oh and Lugia used their HG/SS music in ORAS too, I guess because they were original themes to those games rather than remixes from gen 2.

The main color of the portal can determine the area but no real way to tell what's there.

I think the way it works is that the special rockruff only evolves into dusk form and only evolves between 5 and 6.

Yeah, and you can breed it to make more special rockruffs.

Otherwise they work the same as normal. Ones in US only evolve into midday, ones in UM only evolve into Midnight.

So the only difference between the event Rockruff and its offspring would be the special move the event one comes with come with?

Dusk Lycanroc has 2 less Speed than Midday, putting it in an awkward Speed tier which 2 extra Attack doesn't counterbalance. Also they didn't get anything much from move tutors, so the whole line is pretty meh.

Does anybody remember when someone datamined up those walk animations for every pokemon? Any idea what they're for? A few of them are used for pokemon snap mode in sumo, but there's a shitton just sitting unused.

Speaking of, is there anything new in pokemon snap mode in usum?

The Rotom stuff seemed to be the same. The Pokemon photo club is the new picture thing this generation. If you were upset a 3D model of the Battle Tower was in ORAS, you're going to be livid about the background options when bringing a Pokemon from a different region.

That's so incredibly disappointing. I wanted a stat spread where it had The speed of Midday while having the defenses of Midnight (with the difference coming out of its useless special attack).

Ah well, things given out as early adoption promos can't be too all powerful.

There has been pressure towards Game Freak to get Pokemon’s 8th Generation out in hopes of a release next year. If you recall Pokemon Stars, that is (or was) real, but all it was was a Sun and Moon port to the Switch, used as an engine test tech demo thing.

That explains a lot if this person is legitimate.

It's blatantly fake. You can't genuinely believe the Mother 3 and TWEWY rumours to begin with, and Stars makes no sense because Necrozma wasn't ever patterned after stars in the first place.

Spoilers they'll be using these models for the next 4 pokemon games. This is the pokemon equivalent to SMT's Nocturne.
