SwSh Box legendaries?

[Kallyle]

No typing, no abilities, no moves?

We don’t have any of that information as of right now. I hope they at least give us typing and abilities soon.

I'm still hoping for Zacien to be pure Water and Zamazenta to be pure Fire. I don't think we've ever had those types in a set of box legends, and I feel like we have too many Steel type legendary Pokémon.

I'd rather Zamazenta be a type that would resist Zacian's type instead of being weak to it.

Kyogre was pure Water, so that leaves pure Fire.

I think they are going to be part steel types due to swords and shields being metal.

Anyone else think Zamazenta looks red, not magenta like its name suggests?

Like, it's a soft, dark red.

True. Maybe Zared wasn't as catchy?

Zamoron Zamaroon would've worked.

Zacian isn't very cyan either. =/ Too blue.

They wouldn't make them the exact same type would they?

 

[Scruffyjay]

I saw someone speculate that they'd be the same types, but switched (like steel/fighting and fighting/steel or something). Would have no gameplay difference though so I doubt that.

 

[Scruffyjay]

By the way...how is zacian pronounced? Was that said in a trailer? Because I can't remember. Za-cyan? za-shin?

I don't remember exactly, I'd have to watch again, but I thought Turner said "ZAH-shee-AHN" (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

The japanese name is ザシアン and is pronounced as Zashian (romaji)

Keep in mind it is based off of cyan so I am assuming it is Za-cyan.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

They pronounced it as Za-shian so it’s Zashian...

I could see them being the same types but possibly switched, like @Scruffyjay said. It would make them both evenly matched, which is something you'd want if they do represent the irresistable force paradox, as they seemed to have implied with what little information they have provided. Plus being Steel gives them the most resistant type and Fighting gives them the type with the most super-effective matchups, besides Ground.

Aside from that, both of their designs seem to scream Steel and Fighting to me, so I kind of hope that they do both have the same type just to see what they do with it, since you've got other factors like their stats and abilities to factor in.

I just watched that part of the direct again, Ohmori's translater pronounces it "ZAH-shee-en"

Probably supposed to be similar to cyan, but also a corruption kinda like "mazenta" is not actually magenta.

Steel/fire and steel/flying or steel/water? The one with those wings and sword could be right actually.

Did You watched the video? What those attacks? Still see fire shielding move. Maybe a sword steel type based move?
Maybe hopes too high like with gen 7...
