maybe it symbolizes them being vers, with diglett/wiglett depicting them penetrating of each other 

[thatsmydemi]

Officially announced now. It looks cute in battle. 

 

 

 

If its evolution is cute, he might be my water Pokémon.

 

[thatsmydemi]

I hope Wiglett's evolution isn't as lazy as Diglett's. They could do something interesting or with a cool design. If they end up adding two more Wigletts and making it Wugtrio

 

[Rith]

WAIT 

the last time we saw togepi was in the movie where lati@s were introduced as well(they debuted before the release of their generation just like togepi), they tried to do a soft-reboot in hoenn and thus no old pokemon got a new evolution but imagine if this wasn't the case 

[Rith]

 

come to think of it, now that breeding is almost nullified as a competitive mechanic, maybe they can reform the mechanic to only allow inter-species breeding  right now, illumlise/volbeat and nidoran lines can give birth to either line for some reason miltank/tauros line can't  and what if they changed the formula so that only closelty related pokemon can breed and give results like:

 

pikachu x pikachu = 100% pichu

pikachu x pachirisu = %50 pichu %50 pachirisu

pikachu x skitty = %0 egg

 

miltank x bouffalant = 50% bouffalant(male or female) 25% miltank 25% tauros

sawsbuck, stantler, giraffarig, zebstrika etc. would be able to interbreed. same with early route birds, rodents and butterflies

they can even do some little easter eggs like kangaskhan and marowak being able to breed 

 

let's just abolish egg groups and egg move bs tbh, breeding for nature/iv's is already a thing of the past so the biggest reason to breed nowadays is shiny hunting. nobody would cry over this because the biological accuracy feels much more exciting tbh.

khu said "wugtrio" and that lazy evo makes more sense in this case as well, garden eels are usually in packs 

 

[qurl]

i love them exploring regional variants as well as convergent (potentially also divergent [someday]) evolutions but their execution is predictably … boring. why Diglet ?? a kanto mon that already has a regional variant. do something cooler, or at least do more of them !!

 

also, can someone explain to me the terastalize thing in relation to STAB and typing ?? still confused about it

[Magickarp]

Wiglett: Gooey / Rattled

 

a flop her HA better be good

[Magickarp]

Khu: Ed's Celestial will be played in SV. And nearly all people cried while playing the final chapter.

 

No wonder Khu knew about the song. Seems like we're really getting the best story since BW.

 

Khu: If you are curious, yep, design of paradox and rfakes are on the same vibe. Cause they should look close enough to make you recognize their origins. And youve seen 2 examples before. Btw, balloon has nothing to do with fan series of vampire, aboriginal theme.

 

Poor Jigglyvamp disconfirmed  she coming tho

so do we know or think that would go even further with abilities like Water Bubble ?? would water terra type arquanid have 3x water moves ?

Well, as far as we know, yes it would. We don't have all the specifics of it yet so maybe they hard code something like that Water Bubble example for balance reasons, though that seems unlikely.

where as previous gimmicks have kinda been about making specific pokemon better or viable this one seems like an evolution of z moves but instead of giving  all pokemon a move-based nuke (and particular pokes a specific nuke) , this is going to turn certain types and particularly ones with field/ability advantages into nukes themselves. imagine Liquidation from a Water tera-type Araquanid with Water Bubble in rain  i literally don’t even know how many 50% boosts that amounts to. or if u Skill Swap Water Bubble onto something that has Brine with all the same conditions  seems like a damn mess to me. Fairy and Water are going to be near unstoppable.

[Magickarp]

lets hope Grass Tera Boomer, & 70% Balanced Incineroar are gone too

 

 

as INSUFFERABLE as Centro

its the buff she needed 

 

all hail the aquatic spider king

 

 

ps muk needs a bloated ability like water bubble tbh

 

like imagine if muk had an ability that combined Poison Touch, Liquid Ooze, and Poison Point in one

gooey could be good if wigtrio it learns recover tbh. poor goodra tbh. the fact every slug pokemon learns it but her is weird

someone in reddit said that regional forms are ALL the same species of animal/plant, exeguttor is a palm tree, vulpix is a fox etc. etc.

but diglett/wiglett is a different animal altogether  im liking this lookalike concept tbh

 

my wishlist is:

tumbleweed tangela

comet staryu

cloud geodude

bird-egg eggxecute that evolves into a bird doduo nest with 3 heads exegutor  

 

 

edit: the japanese naming is GENIUS actually. it's basically "seadiglett" just like how in real life sea-horses and sea cucumbers are named they look like the sea version of their counterpart while actually being completely unrelated 

 

All of this is actually amazing!! Great analysis

I fear that A LOT

With that information, that evolution would make sense and would even be cool if it was brand new. Dugtrio is the one that doesn't make sense and will ruin Wugtrio's presentation 

[Magickarp]

wouldn't Wagtrio make more sense than Wugtrio  although i guess Wiggle is completely different from Wagged

[Desire]

Wait didn't the evo leak ages ago or was that fake? 

 

The one that's sky high and blue

[Katamari]

not even halfway done playing bdsp  

 

i was able to complete both black and white and do postgame stuff in the meantime  

 

 

[Magickarp]

it will serve Dugtrio, but i would love this based on an air dancer

Just went to the store and canceled my Scarlet pre-order and instead I pre-ordered Violet

 Violet is clearly the supreme. The only thing Scarlett has over Violet right now is Paradox Jiggly and Misdreavus
