  1. This reveal is kinda suspicious IMO. Why would they blow the final starter evos, a plot-related legendary prevo, all 3 tapus, the battle facility, and the “building a league” thing in one reveal? Sorta makes me think the leaks were intentional, otherwise they would’ve spaced it out a bit more.

  2. It’s so funny seeing people on here saying that decidueyes ghost typing “messed up their team.” It’s like well yeah that’s why you shouldn’t be trying to create a team MONTHS in advanced speedy Gonzales

  3. So the big question is, does Decidueye have the ability to learn Fly or Flying type moves… cause then I need a Flying type on my Moon team….

    • I don’t think we’ll need to Fly in SuMo thanks to Charizard, but if you just want a flying type then it’s probs inheriting a decent amount forok its prevo

      • True… this is true… but I also like to have as few of the same type Pokemon on a team as possible the first playthrough. I need to redo my teams now… I’m thinking

        Sun 1 (Cosimo):

        Incineroar
        Lycanroc (Midday)
        Kommo-o
        Komala
        Pikipek3
        Spider Bug thing or Anchor Wheel thing

        Sun 2 (Aurora):

        Primarina
        Ninetales (Alola Form)
        Oricorio (Baile Style)
        Bewear
        Lurantis
        Spikey think

        Moon (Jeff):

        Decidueye
        Lycanroc (Midnight)
        Alaskan Crab thing (Crabrawlr evo)
        Salandit evo
        Oranguru
        Drampa

    • I’m quite sure it will still be able to learn majority of Flying Type moves. The game would glitch if the moves were incompatible. Also, Charizard Glide replaces Fly, but the move is a TM now!

  4. This reminds me about how people were convinced decidueye could never become a ground typing, thus losing its flying type. And now look… it’s ghost. 🙂 just goes to show that we should all leave our “patterns, knowledge, and assumptions” behind because no amount of confidence in assuming will guarantee that outcome. It just makes you look like a jerk for arguing soooo wholeheartedly.

  7. Where are primarina’s pupils? It’s not the white spot, right? That’s just a highlight, which we couldn’t tell because the concept art was so low res. Is it the light blue and pink bit? Because that makes it look like it giving off this creepy sidelong glare. Or is that just an additional animu eye highlight?

  8. My team for Sun!

    Primarina
    Lycanroc Midday
    Alolan Nintaes
    Salandit evo
    Mimikyu
    Komo-o
