I actually like Incineroar but Torracat's even better. Haunter would be my runner up, much cooler looking than Gengar.

This guy gets it. Torracat was robbed of a proper evolution.

Edit: That's a poor snipe. Have some Torracat greatness to celebrate.

It has its own name rather then "Something X" or "X Forme", so I guess its a full evolution. Its basically a "Magneton" but it really does evolve from several "Magnemite" evolving together.

Specifically it's a Pokémon Go original, you need 400 (:rolleyes:) Meltan candies to evolve him

Well it has its own name and cry and they call it an evolution at least 4 times, so I'm guessing its an evolution.

In spite of how he's dressed, he ain't nobody's fool.
So apparently this bad boy needs 400 Candies to Evolve in GO (They don't mention a way to evolve them in Let's GO), but there's special ways to get more candies, apparently. Hoping to get a boatload for trading to Let's Go.

Meet Melmetal, Meltan’s Evolved Form



We have now discovered that Meltan can evolve. Its Evolution is called Melmetal! This is the first Mythical Pokémon with the ability to evolve.

Name: Melmetal
Category: Hex Nut Pokémon
Type: Steel
Height: 8'02"
Weight: 1,763.7 lbs.

This is the first time that Melmetal has been seen in 3,000 years! In ancient times, this Pokémon was worshiped for its power to create metal.

Those aren’t mythicals. The closest analogue is Phione/Manaphy but that only goes one way.

It's time for :siren:Kurieg's absurdly overwrought pokemon giveaway!:siren: AKA why did I grab so many Tor/Thun codes they're expiring in a little over a week gently caress poo poo gently caress

I have 11 Tornadus/Thundrus Codes (which must be redeemed by 10/29/18!)
I have 15 Reshiram/Zekram Codes (which must be redeemed by 1/28/19)
Zeraora is sold out, sorry.
All codes are North American codes.
What will these codes get you?
Well I'm glad you asked because I spent 20 minutes putting together this stupid infographic


How do you get one of these codes?

For one of the paired codes write a paragraph or two on one of the following:
  • What's your favorite Fire/Rock/Fighting Type and why?
  • What's your favorite dual typed pokemon and why do you like that pairing of types?
  • What's your favorite digimon(I mean seriously, have you seen Zeraora?) and why?
  • What's the dumbest pokemon anime episode plot that you still unironically enjoyed?
  • Explain the craziest pokemon manga plot you can to the thread.
Or:
Draw a picture of your favorite pokemon being spooky (It is almost halloween after all) I don't care how good it is, but I'm expecting it to be amazingly awful/good

The wind genie codes will be released to the thread on the 27th if there are any left remaining. But the rest will go until they're gone.
:siren: Make sure to quote me indicating that you want Reshiram/Zekrom, or Tornadus/Thundrus like this

Hey, I'm looking for a specific series of Pokemon videos:

Just before the release of sun and moon someone made music videos for each of the different Pokemon types and they were all rad as hell, but I have NO idea who or where to find them beyond "they were on youtube".

Edit:

NEVERMIND I FOUND THEM! And they're still rad as heck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOftGM5rTyM&list=PL9YOAyQWF4HMi6iESo-QsqK_O5MrYToRB

Mythical Pokémon are the typical cute mascot Legendary ones (Mew, Celebie, etc) that they have in each gen and the others that are the joy given out in events (Gensect, Zeraora, etc).

<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

I am curious as to whether it will evolve normally in Let's Go or not, but since you can catch a functionally infinite amount of Meltan by continually transferring to that game I suppose it would only be a matter of patience. 400 is a lot though, I'm not even at 200 Magikarp Candy yet.

According to Serebii, no, Meltan can only evolve in Go. You have to transfer Melmetal from Go to Let's Go.

There are several Pokemon in Go that need 400. Magikarp and Feebas, also Wailmer I guess because he's so massive. It's annoying. They could eat least lower it down to 200, 400 is nonsense

I guess my main hope is that Meltan in-game don't have a ludicrously low catch rate and acquiring several dozen of them won't be an exercise in frustration like it was for the Beldum recently.

Could be a Victini situation where there's a limited and terrible event that let's you catch one at like level 15.

That it evolves with multiples of its own is gonna be weird in a proper 8th gen game, though.

You know it will be. As of now, I think of it as being a long term bit of marketing for the next set of games from the real series to come next year.
