its a salamander, as in the dragonDefinitely not newts as previously stated, despite the name (Salamence too isn't a salamander after all). To me it looks like a monitor lizard with a crocodilian snout and vaguely frog-like stance, with the name reference being for mythical fire salamanders rather than true salamanders (as much as charmander).
If we are in for another terrible poison-dragon type with a type change from a decent typing, i swear...Komodo dragon evolution confirmed!
Heck, Mega Rayquaza isnt as broken in VGC 2016 either though...Hell, even then, Salamence isn't THAT broken in the VGC 2015 metagame (it doesn't have its favorite partner - Jirachi) in it.
Because one guy on a forum they don't read wants them to, duh. :PWhy would they cancel megas?
I would be surprised if Mega Kanga isn't nerfed since I remember reading even Game Freak saying that they might, just might, have accidentally given it too much power.They've needed to nerf Mega Kangaskhan for a while now, to be honest, because almost NOTHING can stand up to it 1-v-1 without getting beaten to a pulp first. And on another subject, Salandit is shaping up to be a unique little lizard. :D Hopefully it keeps its' typing when it evolves to its' strongest potential, although a poison/dragon that can poison absolutely anything it wanted to is always a fun little perk too. It would need to not be slow as tar for that to work though.
I'm afraid that they think introducing Mega Gallade counts as a nerf.I would be surprised if Mega Kanga isn't nerfed since I remember reading even Game Freak saying that they might, just might, have accidentally given it too much power.
Look at the perfect nerf they did to weather after the weather wars of Generation V.I'm afraid that they think introducing Mega Gallade counts as a nerf.
Thats old news. VGC adapted and Gamefreak recognized it, so they say its fine now. I believe it was during the Mega Slowbro and Audino reveals.I would be surprised if Mega Kanga isn't nerfed since I remember reading even Game Freak saying that they might, just might, have accidentally given it too much power.
Poor MeGallade stuck with this useless ability...GameFreak why you do this ?I'm afraid that they think introducing Mega Gallade counts as a nerf.
Send it to Croll and I and we will have a look over it first... We are obviously being very cautious.A series of Chinese leaks supposingly from the Chinese translation team 2 weeks ago accurately predicted Salandit as a fire/ poison lizard.
Requesting to post the other contents of the same leak onto Smogon.
Can we call him Croll now? I love that for some reasonSend it to Croll and I and we will have a look over it first... We are obviously being very cautious.
Must admit, while I was defending their abilities being clones... it is a little disappointing now we know that like everything else is getting a new, really unique and really cool ability. Even superior versions of Clear Body/Multiscale would have been nice. Here's hoping they get something different in alternate forms.The new abilities they're introducing this generation are really good.
Comatose: You don't have to worry about Burns, Freeze, Paralysis or Poison anymore. Wonder if Corrosion will be able to break it?
Power Construct: I don't know complete Zygarde's base stats, but I'm pretty sure they'll get a boost. A cool ability, what Zen Mode should've been
Soul Heart: Special Moxie with added utility in Doubles & Triples? Hell yeah.
Stakeout: This'll make your opponent think twice before switching out.
Electric Surge: For the first 5 turns you get a free Sleep immunity and a 1.5X boost to your Electric STABs. Now Thunderbolt has more power than a STAB High Jump Kick. Very nice, I hope we see Misty and Grassy Terrain summoning abilities too.
Dazzling: OMG, this is amazing. Priority is huge in every standard metagame (and many OMs too), and being immune to it is brilliant. Even if Bruxish sucks balls, in metas like AAA that let you choose Pokémon's abilities, fast frail Pokémon like Weavile will love this ability
Beserk: A good ability, could work well with RestTalk as it's just a straight up boost so presumably it won't disappear when you go back over 50% (or so I'm hoping).
Battery: A good ability for Doubles and Triples, shame it's stuck on a crappy Bug-type
Corrosion: A brilliant ability that lets you spam Toxic with nary a worry. I wonder if it would Poison you if your opponent switched in something with Magic Bounce.
Full Metal Body and Shadow Shield are just clones though. I was expecting better, but at least Shadow Shield will be somewhat useful.
Personally, I would've made Full Metal Body weaken super effective moves (like Filter) but then boost its Defence if it's hit by one. I would've made Shadow Shield weaken neutral moves.Must admit, while I was defending their abilities being clones... it is a little disappointing now we know that like everything else is getting a new, really unique and really cool ability.

Solgaleo's maximum possible HP stat is 152.Judging from their appearances, I think Solgaleo will be a slow bulky tank like Dialga. Its typing will cause it issues due to Primal Groudon and Ho-Oh being all over the place, but it is a nice check to Xerneas. I think it will learn a lot of Fire moves, and likely Morning Sun due to its solar connotations. Being Psychic type, Calm Mind's a strong possibility too. I see its base stats being something like this: 165 HP / 92 Atk / 135 Def / 110 SpA / 90 SpD / 88 Spe. A bit like a physically bulky Ho-Oh.
Lunala I see as being a fast frail attacker. I think they'll both have the same base stats, just rearranged, so I think Lunala's will be something like: 92 HP / 110 Atk / 90 Def / 165 SpA / 88 SpD / 135 Spe. I'm pretty sure it will learn Moonblast and Moonlight due to its lunar connotations (Cresselia does after all). Its typing will give it problems with Yveltal and Sucker Punch users in general, although on the plus side it only has 2 weaknesses.MultiscaleSorry, Shadow Shield would help patch up its bulk.

How do you know that?Solgaleo's maximum possible HP stat is 152.
