I can’t help but find it hilarious that the official site’s description of Zamazenta highlights its “dazzling, gleaming” shield and specifically highlights its resistance to Dragon-types.
I mean, I know it does resist Dragon, and I know Zacian’s highlights an offensive advantage over Dragon – it’s not as if this is incorrect or erroneous.
But… really, you’re describing it with the name of a Fairy-type move, and resistance to Dragon-type attacks is much more significant in Fairy-types than Steel-types (not to mention that Steel isn’t even the type that sets Zamazenta apart – the totally-unrelated Fighting is). It feels like a silly description for a non-Fairy-type all the same, haha.
So after reading the Intelleon info released today I honestly don’t think it’s actually a spy. I feel like it’s an assassin with how it talks about targeting weak points of its a opponents and even having a hidden knife in its tail. They obviously won’t say that though since the series is technically for kids.
Need help taking down a Gold 5 star Rotom Raid…. Anybody?
Link Code is: 1960
Still looking for people?
I wonder if the feminine/masculine legendaries are a new trend? I’d argue that it’s far less prominent/non-existent with Xerneas and Yveltal, but you can clearly tell that the Unova, Alola, and Galar legends are designed as a masc/fem pair.
The Alola Dex and Galar Dex even refer to Lunala and Zacian as female, with Lunala being the mature females of the Cosmog species and with Zacian as an individual allegedly being Zamazenta’s older sister.
Hopefully you guys are fairing well, my family is in full on cleaning mode which means everyone is angry and on a hair trigger
Ugh I hate that. It’s so much easier to do a big cleaning project when nobody is afraid of triggering someone, just relax people!
I’m saddened. We got more official art for the starters and G-Snorlax but nothing else
Just add them already. What’s the issue with just showing us
Sweet i snagged an Adaptability Crawdaunt
Can’t decide on ability for Centiskorch. Probably gonna go Adamant though.
I wish that Hop’s outfit was obtainable via boutique, i actually like it very much.
Well that didnt take too long! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/53759a346dbba99fca9d71ca2aff7725080c79a93914b08197fdd3c6f1110264.jpg
Eww its timid….
Ive started Shield and aside from Sobble i dont have a clue yet on what my team will look like. I do know i want to use Galar natives only with the exception of 1 regional variant
I also dont want to use the same mons from my Sword playthrough, so no Corviknight, Grimmsnarl, Frosmoth, Toxtricity or Boltund
Just fixed the Joycon drift on my Switch all by myself without spending a dime (because I used the Rubbing alcohol and Qtips from the cabinet at work).
I don’t like how there’s just one continuous theme playing for the entirety of rose tower
PSA:
Inteleon is spelled with one L because its root words are Chameleon and Intel (as in valuable Political information that spies gather) and not Intelligence
Also, I’m pretty convinced this starter trio was gonna be Grass/Dark Fire/Fighting Water/Psychic, but while working on the designs they changed it cause they knew people hate The idea of a new F/F starter

Found this on the beach today! So happy I spotted it! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/19aa4474b035b95f60df1f67ec84f84ac526a7d01c54769eecb49d0353903fc1.jpg
Shoot. Came across Gigantamax Butterfree but didn’t catch it
Saw someone post their trainer card, here’s mine! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d1b67b4ec1d51884b1b0134b8156c1ab8ae90cb2597e354ca711beb75b7e84c6.jpg

If you save before a raid and fail it you can just reset and try again right? Even if others join you and catch it? I’m sure we accidentally found this a few days ago.
The new descriptions summed up
Rillaboom: Chill music man, will bust your head open if you screw with his buds
Cinderace: Athletic bab who can and will outplay you
Inteleon: Feet pics and Rick and Morty ma’am? I’m an intellectual
Rillaboom: I love my drum and want to protect my friends and my balance!
Cinderace: I’m a super powerful and tricky opponent!
Inteleon: What the f*ck did you just fucking say about me, you little b*tch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying sh*t to me over the Internet? Think again, f*cker. As we speak I am contacting my network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re f*cking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your a*s off the face of the continent, you little sh*t. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. You didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you idiot. I will sh*t all over you and you will drown in it. You’re f*cking dead, kiddo.
(this is a Copypasta in case someone doesn’t know)
