Leak Repository Thread (WARNING: Huge spoilers!)

[Knightwolf09]

With Meowth, the joke could be that it looks like a fat ball of fur but when you pick it up its body stretches out and it becomes looooong. Because that's... a thing... that happens with cats. Their bodies bunch up when they're on the floor but then you lift them and suddenly there's a lot more cat than you'd expect. They're like furry accordions.

....speaking of which, anyone else notice that Longcat was from Japan?

.....Huh, well how about that.

On an unrelated note. I'm seeing a lot of fake leakers saying Bede has the starter that's stronger against yours, but i honestly doubt that. I even doubt that he has a starter. They could pull a Gladion and have him have a pokemon that can have an advantage. But then there's the one I posted earlier that says he has an opposing starter, but not the kind we're thinking. Which possibly hints to him having a past gen starter instead?

 

[Lunala]

Bede apparently uses Solosis. I don't know what else though.

By the way, if your theory of Reuniclus having a Galarian form is correct, then Solosis at least lacks a Galarian form. This kind of thing happened in Sun and Moon too, just noting that.

 

[EonLover]

I know that I am new here, but I’m going to doubt that they give meowth a gigantamax form vs it’s evolution. The only exclusion I see that to are pikachu and eevee because they are sort of trademarked in their original forms. Pikachu especially. I’m actually surprised still that pikachu never got a mega. As for galar forms it would disappoint me to see meowth getting one after alola (and I adore original persian), but I have no actual other idea there. Evo or otherwise

Also I wonder if the hidden elephant that was seen with rose (and also the teapot in the leak) could be a galarian phanpy?

 

[dvor]

Also I wonder if the hidden elephant that was seen with rose (and also the teapot in the leak) could be a galarian phanpy?

It looks way too big to be a phanpy, imo.

 

[Knightwolf09]

Imma spout a personal theory on our little teapot elephant. It'll be a Fire/water type. Like an actual elephant it drink water through it's trunk and can boil the water inside it's body with heat. And then can spout it out through it's trunk. Can probably learn Scald naturally, and will probably be a heavy special attacker. Think poor man's Volcanion.

 

[Oriden]

Also I wonder if the hidden elephant that was seen with rose (and also the teapot in the leak) could be a galarian phanpy?

Yeah that is definitely not phanpy. They don't completely morph the body of a pokemon for regional variants, just tweak its features a bit. Alolan Exeggutor had a long neck, but its body was the same shape and its heads were the same- the pokemon was still recognizable.

god I hope so. that sounds adorable.

To prevent people from having to dig through nearly 300 pages, half of which is very off topic, I have decided to create this leak database. As I find leaks I post them here. Anything written in italics is written by me and is not a part of the original rumor. Also, please note, this is not a replacement for the general speculation thread. If you don't want to talk about rumors or leaks please find the appropriate thread or create your own.
Note: We would prefer you not post links to 4chan or its archives so we're not sending users to sites that clash with our policies. Screenshots are okay, assuming the content aligns with our rules and standards. Please attach screenshots or add them as imgur links.

Below is a catalogue of the leaks we have so far.

Real:

Spoiler: Giant Pokemon Rumor

Legendaries are in fact wolves, looks like there will be z-moves back, or something similar, there will be roaming Pokémon but in the big main area between starter town and the city, new gimmick - giantification? It's also used in stadiums, as it sounds you make your Pokémon giant lol. Also you can meet giant Pokemon in rifts (where you fight and catch them) that you can enter...with help of presumably players! Sounds exciting, hope for more on the direct. Coming November 15

Spoiler: Raid Battle Rumor

-Wild Pokemon are like Pokemon Let's Go (not sure about catching mechanics) [Roaming Pokemon, although I wouldn't hold my breath for this one]
- "Open World" in routes
-Will have raid battles for local and online [Probably what the Reddit leak confused for giant Pokemon]
-Release date is November 15th

Spoiler: Dynamax Rumor

Your rival is named Hop, but you will also be facing of against Bede and Marnie

Team Yell is the gang in this game, who are well meaning fans of Marnie causing trouble

To become part of the gym challenge, you will have to get an endorsement. Bede gets an endorsement from Chairman Rose and his secretary Oleana

Eternatus is the evil legendary. The other legendary will be a wolf, who will either have a shield mane or hold a sword like Great Wolf Sif (Although the main legendary is a wolf, this sentence implies that they will be two forms of the same Pokemon when in actuality they are two separate Pokemon entirely). Don't recall its name

Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing are new dynamics that will supersize pokemon in specific areas. Gigantamaxing is different from dynamax as it changes what the pokemon looks like. Meowth looks like long cat. Lapras gets layers like musical bars to its shell and musical notes. Pikachu looks like retro fat pikachu

Sonia is Leon's former rival who is researching the dynamax phenomenon at the behest of her grandmother and professor of the game.

Some pokemon, like Farfechtd, will get regional evolutions, like Sirfechtd. Meowth looks like a ball of spiky grey fur

Skwovet and Greedunt iirc are chipmunk pokemon who will hide in berry trees and attack randomly if you shake for too many berries. If they attack, you lose half the berries that dropped. (Note: A Trainer in the audience of Milo's Gym is wearing a shirt with a chipmunk graphic, which could be one of these Pokémon, much like how a wearable shirt in Sun & Moon depicted Toucannon before it was revealed. The trailer also shows that the player can shake trees in the Wild Area, although it has yet to be confirmed that this drops berries.)

The fourth gym is the first Fairy type gym, led by an actress named Opal. Milo, Nessa, and Kabu are the first ones.

Before fighting the gym leaders, you have to complete the gym challenges.

• Milo has you herding sheep pokemon named Wooloo, but Pamper, electric corgi pokemon (There is an electric corgi Pokemon, but the name is actually Yamper, one letter off)., will startle them and send them rolling elsewhere.(Note: If you look closely at the 3:30 mark of the Direct, you can see a Wooloo rolling in a field, so this is indeed a characteristic of them.)
• Nessa has you running through a maze where water blocks the way
• Kabu requires you to catch pokemon and get 5 points, but you have to be in a party battle with another trainer who's also trying to catch it

While there is a transit system, you will have to go through the Wild Area at times, an open world biome that has a weather system and little pockets where wild pokemon dynamax and have to be beaten in a for person raid. You will randomly see nearby players and interact with them to get their league cards and items

Camping is how you play with pokemon now. You'll get two toys, a feather toy and toy pokeball, which can raise friendship. You can make curry which will raise starts and friendliness (Note: The trailer includes a scene of Sobble being played with near a tent, which seems to align with this.)

Pokémon will not walk beside you in the overworld map (Note: Thus far, we have been given no reason to doubt this.)

Scorbunny will have fighting moves, but is pure fighter. It becomes Raboot, but I don't remember the final evolution, except that it looks like a fighter. It looks humanoid

Sobble becomes Sizzile and then Intelleon, a chameleon with a spy theme

Grookey will end up as a giant gorilla that beats a wood drum to attack.

There's a lot I'm missing, but I wasn't planning on leaking until now. I'm angry and upset, and while I liked what I saw, I didn't get too far.

The best Pokémon so far is the blue seagull who when it dives, either gets a barracuda in its mouth or a pikachu, which it launches at its enemy

Spoiler: Meteordyna Rumor

The evil team is called Team Yell.
One of the Gym Leaders is a girl named Ruri, a Water user. (Ruri is the Japanese name of Nessa, who does specialize in Water-types)
There's a mode that turns certain Pokemon big called Dynamax.

There's an early-game Normal-type named Wool. (The name is actually Wooloo, but close enough)
It's a sheep Pokemon.
It's like a combination of Zigzagoon and Mareep.
The one who looks like the minor legendary is called something-dyna.
I forget, but it was six kana.

Also, Rotom Dex is back. (Although the Rotom Phone is introduced, it is functionally similar to the Rotom Dex).

Like I said, the new feature is gonna be Dynamax.
The Pokemon grow huge.
The Pokemon GO-like raid battles will probably be done in the PV stadium.
The evil team is Team Yell.

The new feature is Dynamax.
The Pokemon grow huge.
That one big Pokemon can fight multiple Pokemon.

I just remembered the minor legendary's name.
I'm sure it's Meteordyna (meteodaina).
It might be a major legendary.
Also, the early-game Normal-type is Wool, a sheep Pokemon.

Unconfirmed:

Spoiler: Battle All-Stars Rumor

Quoting this post that was done on 17th June by Anonymous...

* Galar is completely huge, you know that there is a Wild Area, but there is also an Urban Area that is basically Open World of the city, you will meet lots of people, and they will give you stuff and quests.

* I can confirm that Gigantomaxing is real, there is giga forms to secected Pokemon such as Charizard, Machamp, Jynx and Piplup. You can fight them in an Urban Area.

* I saw two new Pokemon, one of them is a Pokemon titan, and looks like a prehistoric black man, and is exclusive to Max Raid Battles. The second one is just whipped cream.

* I know you are sad about the National Dex, but the games are going to feature all the protagonists and rivals from main games in a unique facility, it called Battle All-Stars. Some of them are getting new clothes, especially those from Gen 4 and 5.

Spoiler: 713 Entries Rumor

Last gym is Dragon type once again, kinda annoyed me if I'm honest but the leader is a shocker
Eternatus is more evil than Necrozma was in Sun And Moon and is a dark/dragon type with one of the most ridiculous abilities of all time
Leon will try capture the opposite legendary to the version you're playing which allows for Eternatus' release
The main event for Eternatus will take place at the champions cup where the dynamax energy allows for him to come through from another world - this is Rose's plan all along.
Contests kind of make a return
Psuedo is a ghost/dragon
Galan dex has 713 entries when I was editing but I can assume that there will be more in the next stages
The lore about the legendary trio is the deepest I've seen

Spoiler: Sword & Shield 2 Rumor

72 new Galar Pokemon in total.
20 Gigantamax forms. Some popular choices like Flygon, some wildcards like Ledian.
Third game made alongside SwSh is Sword 2/Shield 2 out in winter 2020. Will have the national dex. Always had it. Marketing strategy to make the third game sell and win appraisal from fans I guess. Business 101 stuff.
Third game will have 3 new starters, not available in SwSh. Fighting > Rock > Flying. Fighting is a lynx. Rock is a bear. Flying is a Puffin. These starters are far superior in my opinion to Sobble, Grookey, and Scorbunny. Mythical archer Pokemon in also in the data for event. Predicted to be very popular up there with Charizard, Lucario etc.

Galar, is in my personal opinion, the best Pokemon game to date. It has the same magic of early Pokemon games. The UK provides rich lore and aesthetic not seen since the Japanese regions. Can’t wait for it to be out and everyone to love it.

You’ll notice lots of new things, like the exclusive gyms, new starter/starter types for the sequels. They’ve introduced new ways to distinguish SwSh, and distinguish the sequels and add new ways to introduce new Pokemon later on.

Fake:

Spoiler: 120 Pokemon Rumor

-Games are known as Pokemon Sword (Pocket Monsters Ken) and Pokemon Shield(Pocket Monsters Tate.)
(Partially True. The games are also called Sword and Shield in Japanese.)

-Region is based on England (specifically London)
(Partially True. Galar seems to be primarily based on England with parts of Scotland and Wales.)

-120 new Pokemon

-Announcement trailer on 12/2/19
(Sword and Shield were announced on 27/2/19

Spoiler: Vague Rumor

Galarian [regional] Forms do not exist.
No Kalos Post game (Not a spoiler, just to temper expectations)
Any rumor with less than 85 New Pokemon is Fake
Any rumor with more than 115 New Pokemon is Fake
The primary professor is female
Version exclusive legendaries are both wolves, have dual typing, 1 of which is the Steel typing
No new Megas or Z moves (There aren't any Mega Evolutions at all)
No access to Megas or Z moves prior to defeating elite 4 (These features have outright been removed entirely)
Anything with 2 or more new Eeveelutions is fake
New Pokemons’ Abilities have not been finalized
Gyms are still challenged in linear order
Alolan Variants not obtainable in regional dex
All region’s are represented in regional dex
Johto Pokemon do not play any significant role
Kanto Starters do not play any significant role (Charizard has been seen with Leon, implying that it is his ace.)
Meltan is integrated into the story
There is technically DLC, but it is only for online gift pokemon as of now (DLC=Mystery gift due to movement to the switch)
Fossil Pokemon make a return
Starters all have dual typings not shared by previous starter pokemon (e.g. no fire/fighting, water/dark, grass/ground etc.)
Bug/Dragon “leak” is real. Old footage so the battle hud was a place holder and background detail is incomplete "
(The leaked bug was confirmed fake by its creator.)

Spoiler: Spirit Armor Rumor

• New ‘Spirit Armor’ system introduced to the game which lets you equip armor or equipment that you have found
• Spirit Armor adds different effects depending on the item and only one can be attached to a Pokémon at a time (but this is in addition to regular held items)
• Some held items may be converted to Spirit Armor or at least gain the ability to serve as it; Never-Melt Ice is given as an example which will add an extra 10% chance of freezing an opponent
• Another example Spirit Armor was given as a fiery necklace that changes an attack’s type to Fire
• Similar to Z-Moves, some Pokémon will have exclusive Spirit Armor that can only be equipped by them, such as Mewtwo (CoroCoro confirmed that Mewtwo's armor only appears in the movie) and the starting Pokémon
• All three starter lines remain pure Grass, Fire and Water-type but, if equipped with their unique Spirit Armor, become Grass/Fairy, Fire/Fighting and Water/Ghost respectively
• The games have a single wolf-like Legendary Pokémon as their mascot, but the Spirit Armor it wields will determine its type and attacks. In Sword it will be Dragon/Steel and in Shield it will be Ice/Steel.
• Players can connect with others who have the opposite version to unlock the other version
• The “wolf” Legendary cannot go into battle if it does not have any Spirit Armor equipped
• There is definitely a connection to Kalos, with many characters re-appearing, but you cannot travel there

Spoiler: Kalos Connections Rumor

View attachment 118947

Spoiler: Geri and Freki Rumor

Legends are based on Geri and Freki from Norse mythology. Freki is Sword's legendary and is Steel/Dark. Geri is Shield's legendary and is Steel/Poison
Starters final types are Grass/Rock, Fire/Electric, and Water/Ghost. They have an entertainment theme: Grookey represents music, Scorbunny represents sports, and Sobble represents drama
Professor is named Professor Rose and is female (While the Professor is female, she is actually named Professor Magnolia)
Regional dex contains 450 Pokemon
85 new Pokemon
Ghost, Dragon, and Steel type Eeveelutions are introduced.
There is a Dark-type gym
League is the giant tower in the London-like city
Battle Frontier returns
Armored Evolution leak is fake (The armored evolution leak was proven fake when the box legends were announced.)
No regional variants
No new Megas (There aren't even any Mega Evolutions at all)
No new types
No Kalos
Pokemon Bank will most likely die (Pokemon Bank will be replaced with a new application called Pokemon Home. Bank itself will still be supported, it will just be exclusive to the 3DS.)
Plot not as deep as Black and White, but is well written

Spoiler: Sports Rumor

Legendary for both games is a Wolf who has a defensive/attack form for each respective title.

Armored forms are not a thing.

All the gyms are sports related as Gamefreak plans on tying to the "Gym" aspect of real life. Also wanting to tie in to the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games as Pokemon will have a large presence advertising the Olympics.

There are plans with Pokemon Go and the Olympics for a larger platform of focus on getting people out, playing sports, and being active.

No support or update for Pokeball Plus or newer versions of the controller featuring all 900+ Pokemon. The device was made for the Let's Go series in mind, any future update for the controller will be from that series in mind.

Scorbunny final evolution is a Space Rabbit/Sportsmaster type. Who is a combination of both a football and basketball player. His special move is using the moon and kicking it to land on a Pokemon like a meteor strike. He's part Fairy type.

Grookey final evolution is a large Gorilla looks sort of like a Oni/Cave Person/Tarzan-like character. He wields a huge club. His special move is swinging on vines and knocking its enemies into the sky using his club as a cricket/baseball bat. He's part Dark type.

Sobble becomes a huge Loch Ness monster. He remains lizard-like and is covered in seaweed. He is mistaken for a dragon/dinosaur, but is actually ghost type. His special move creates a mysterious mist and diving into the water to hide like a olympic diver.

There is no companion/third game planned.

No new types.

Post-game may be scrapped for time, but the plan is to travel on boat to Ireland-based island with it's own "real" Loch Ness Pokemon that isnt sobble's final evolution. With stronger trainers and new Pokemon exclusive to that island.

No new Eevee evolution

A limited Weather mechanic where some areas rain/snow but only alternates in certain areas.

Largest region, but only certain sections of the region have a lot of open world to explore.

Part 2(?) Not sure if original OP:

The "evil group" wants to kick Pokemon out of the region because they are a nuisance. The group are average citizens who wear protest attire and wield picket signs. The ultimate motif of the female leader to capture the legendary that influences people to fight or defend themselves.

Each Gym is sports themed

The Pokemon League exists under a different name, each trainer are Knighted by a the Queen.

There is no Corgi Pokemon. (There is a corgi Pokemon, called Yamper.)

There is a mini-game of using a metal detector to find hidden dunes full of rare Pokemon (shinies) and treasures (evolution items, items to sell for money).

Spoiler: Teamwork Rumor

You use up to 3 pokemon max from your team to use various offensive and defensive strategy plays
You can only use a strategy once per battle each. And there are plenty to use.
Gym masters specialize in Teamwork moves. Each one you beat, teaches you their strategies.
First gym teaches you Team Attack. Choose up 3 moves from different pokemon, and they execute them all at once. Power stacks.
Second gym teaches you Team Guard. Blocks an attack completely if using 3. Reduces damage if using 2.
Legendaries have their own special Team Attack and Guard. That have added effects.

Spoiler: German Rumor

• 90 new Pokemon
• DLC Third Version
• Main Professor is female and studies Defence
• Other Professor is male and studies Offence (There is only one professor in this game)
• Two Legendaries are Steel Dogs, One a Wolf and another a Fox (Both legendaries are wolves)
• Evil Teams are called Team Lupus and Team Vulpes
• Mythical Dark Trio
• Pokemon Gyms similar to Pokemon League Fights in Anime (Stadium Style)
• Third Legendary is Ghost/Dragon (has ties to Region's lore)

Spoiler: Feuding Teams Rumor

Cover art features the wolf legendary in each of its 2 formes depending on the version. In the background a larger Pokemon’s shadow looms over it: a winged beast shape in Sword (a dragon?), a humanoid shape with one eye in Shield (a cyclops?). (The box legends are two different Pokemon, not two forms of the same Pokemon.)

New battle mechanic based on distance. Sky battles return. Marine battles for Pokemon that can breathe under water. Diving returns but under water battles/encounters require marine Pokemon.

Galar is known for many of its native Pokemon having branch evolutions. Around 40 Galar species evolve differently depending on what version you own. New branch evolutions for older Pokemon including Johto starters, one of which you receive from Elm, who has come to study Galar’s mysterious effect on evolution.

This new feature encourages trading but you can also obtain the alternate evolution in a postgame safari area located on island to the right of Galar accessible via ferry from Water gym city. The island also has the and battle frontier.

Strong Pokemon trainers in Galar are invited to join official league teams and compete in team battles at gym stadiums. The two highest ranked teams are Team Sword and Team Shield. The top ranked team will ask your rival to join them and the second ranked team (Sword in Sword and Shield in Shield) will ask you to join them. You eventually agree as a favour to the Galar Champion so that you can investigate the top ranked team.

Technically there is no “evil team” in the game but the top ranked team are arrogant and are your main opponents. They have an evil captain and a manager with much more sinister plans that require his team to stay on top to make money from sponsorships. The top ranked team is based in the modern city in the north while your team are from the industrial city in the south. The team captains each possess the wolf legendary in its respective Sword/Shield forme. Once you prove yourself in battle, your captain entrusts his to you to stop managers secret plan.

Spoiler: Playtester Rumor

I couldn't post this on 4chan because some other person seems to have used my IP and got me banned, so I made a throwaway to post it here. A lot of this stuff is risky as absolute s*** for me to be leaking and I can't post this on any of my own accounts that could lead back to me. I've been a long time play tester for the English version of Sword and Shield, and that's all I can reveal. Moving on, here's what I have:

• There are 104 new Pokemon. Galar forms are in, like the other leak implied with Meowth. "Sirfetch'd" is actually a Galar form and does not use that name, but the leaker may have called it that to paint a picture of its design. Its leek gets treated more like a cane as well as a color swap to black and white.
• This time, representation is scattered among all past region Pokemon unlike with Alolan Pokemon just being Kanto. Some examples will be the Gulpin line (they'll look more like sweets) and the Dwebble line (They'll be much more grassy and green).
• The majority of Kanto Pokemon will return. Strong representation from each other regions as well (though less than Kanto), totaling to a regional dex size of over 600+ Pokemon to make up for not every Pokemon being in the game. Many will only be acquirable through events and Max Raid Battles that get rotated around.
• Dynamax levels only increase total Pokemon health and go up to level 10. At level 10, some Pokemon gain new "Gigantamax" forms.
• Skwovet is the standard rodent you will find mostly in early routes.
• Lofinch is the standard bird you will find in early routes as well, based on the Goldfinch with a love theme.
• Wooloo evolves into Puffluff. It's wool gets even larger, but it looks more adult like in its features.
• Raboot's evolution is called Athlabbit and will be Fire/Fighting, based on an athlete.
• Grookey evolves into Drumunkey. Drumunkey evolves into Bongorilla and will beat a drum to fight. Bongorilla is a Grass/Rock type.
• Sizzile and Intelleon leaks are correct. Intelleon is Water/Ghost.
• Zamazenta is pure Steel. Zacian is pure Fighting. Eternatus is pure Dark. You will encounter these legends and the story behind them after the seventh gym.
• Team Yell's grunts don't know much about their leaders. They go around causing ruckuses and trying to interfere with Pokemon battles and larger events. They're frequently mentioned as troublemakers on television and by locals in various cities and towns. Their main objective seems to be a lot more simple and harmless compared to previous teams, but the leaders are actually using their grunts to distract away from their operations. They are researching how to control Eternatus, in order to defeat Zacian and Zamazenta, the two guardians of the Galar region, in order to take it over.

• The gym types and order is Grass (Milo), Water (Nessa), Ground (Kabu), Fairy (Opal), Fighting (Penny), Dark (Jora), Steel (Daron), and Normal (Lina). The Normal gym is directly in front of the Elite 4 and isn't a public stadium like the other seven. The Elite 4 reception is the first thing you see when you walk in, with her gym being accessible by entering a different room. Once you beat it, Leon will congratulate you and let you know he's waiting on top of the tower.
• The Elite 4 system has changed to be more like the Battle Frontier. After clearing the normal gym, your Badge Ring is completed and you're able to challenge the Elite 4 by speaking to a receptionist at the previous room before you challenged Lina. Each member is in a different building with a unique kind of challenge. You can challenge the first three in any order.
• Enya (Ghost) is in the clock tower building to the left. Lyric (Flying) will be in the Ferris Wheel building and has a Chatot that can Gigantamax. Colt (Bug) is in the red building to the right.
• Then, you go back into the building that holds Lina's gym. There is a guard standing in front of a different door that leads to the tower. He grants you access to the base of the tower, where the fourth Elite 4 member, Claude (Psychic) awaits. Upon beating him, there is an elevator that takes you to the top of the tower where you battle Leon. His Charizard has a Gigantamax form.
• Becoming champion unlocks some of the city surrounding the Elite 4. The area you can explore is not as big as it looks on the map, obviously. It is post-game content with several battle facilities that refresh daily, and markets that sell various hold items, TMs, and more items previously inaccessible. More Pokemon will start spawning in the Wild Area than initially.
• There is a Battle Tower system in the industrial city at the center of the map. This is also the city for the seventh gym, Steel. However, it is locked for a while before you can challenge it.
• The Wild Area looks a lot better in the play test build. They had to crunch the most stable version for E3. The notorious tree has better textures.

I can't say anything more. Posting this many details is already risky.

22. It's weird but both are Steel/Fighting
23.

39. Old pokemon reappearing
40. 
    
41. The regional forms are two different things: regional only evolutions of old Pokémon, and gigantamax.
42. Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle are in the game. Charizard have a gigantamax form
43. There is a Kingler with a big Crown, a Charizard with some runes and red clouds on his body and mouth, a skinny Snorlax etc... Most of them are goofy looking, i think people will hate most of them.
44. Kirlia is in the game
45. Is Heracross in the game? No
46. Do any Alolan pokemon make it to Galar? No. But i think you can transfer them from Go.
47. Kommo-o was cut
48. I think Yamask isn't in the game but i'm not sure. Pumpkaboo and misdreavus are definitly in it. Golurk and Aegislash are in the game too.
49. Corphish and Beldum are in the game. Numel isn't.
50. machoke evo is cool. It has a mustache and some stripes on its body.
51. gengar gigantamax with a big tongue
52. The meowth one is ugly. It's somewhat worse than alolan persian.
53. There is also an Arcanine with a lot of fur and a flat face, it's horrible. I think it's Fire/Fairy.
54. ---
55. Antagonists and objectives
56. 
    
57. Team Yell is one of the antagonist. They are just soccer supporter with no goal but to hype up Leon.
58. Leon is the real antagonist he wants to use Eternatus the biggest Pokémon in the serie to control the world (Galar was buildt on him). He isn't very interesting.
59. ---
60. Postgame
61. 
    
62. There is only a Clock tower fighting facility, Eternatus to catch (it's a raid battle) and Pokémon to catch in the Wild Area.
63. It's a forced raid battle in the end game. To catch it you've to do, so in the post game and do a raid battle against him again.
64. The reason why he isn't as big is because he's a Cloud that posess things and grow biger by absorbing their energy. His ancient body is what Galar was buildt on but his spirit is eternal.
65. ---
66. Misc.
67. 
    
68. Is the camera free in all areas or just the wild area? Only wild area
69. 
    
70. Steven Stone, AZ and N appear.
71. 
    
72. Gamefreak is stressed because Pokemon Company isn't really considering them that important anymore and most devs lost faith and love for their work. The time restraint wzs forced late on development and they already gave designs to make cards and goodies so they were forced to remove features and gain time by removing Pokémons
73. Most of the people i know are pissed off, but i don't really know about the higher ups. I do know Gamefreak itself is a mess rn because of the situation and they don't know how to handle it
74. 
    
75. >What features from Pokemon XY, ORAS, and the Alola games were cut out due to GF's having to rush those games thanks to TPC. I know a dex culling almost occured in Gen 7 due to the time constraints.
76. Everything was cut to be honest. Refresh is kinda still a thing because of the Pic Nic system.
77. 
    
78. >I've heard Gamefreak asked Famitsu to edit part of Masuda's statement about a future patch from being simply "no" to "It is undecided if there will be a patch". It really is undecided huh?
79. I'm not certain about the statement thing. I do think that they don't really know what they are going to do. I don't think that they'll patch it unless the uproar continues

Spoiler: Dynamax Rumor Continuation

Other Pokemon that receiving new Gigantamaxing forms are:
All four of the Tapu Legendaries, which will become masks to become giant colossi.
Charizard, Flygon, Tyranitar, Hydreigon, and Volcarona will receive Godzilla inspired design changes to their Gigantamaxed forms.
Meltan evolves while Dynamaxed into Melmetal.
Rotom who takes control of the entire stadium to fight.

After becoming Champion the player will be given meet their manager Alan who will help with sponsorships, host tournaments and create advertisements & posters that can be seen around Galar. During these missions provides money & unlocks new outfits, TMs, and access to additional locations of Wild Area.

There are over 98 new Pokemon, more counting form changes.

Potentially very single Pokemon can be obtained in the through online raid battle events. Gamefreak plans to have monthly online raids planned, alongside events hosted at local retailers. One of the first raids planned is Torterra to coincide with the Detective Pikachu movie.

Leon is Team Yell's anonymous leader who uses his social media and power of fandom to target and damage trainers reception so they lose sponsorship, in order to remain an unchallenged champion from trainers who he thinks could beat him. He thinks that Sonia purposefully let him win their match years ago and feels weak. He capture's the other version's legendary in order to feel powerful despite leaving Galar unprotected from the evil legendary Eternatus.

Eternatus has the power to control the minds of Pokemon and Gigantamaxing and Dynamaxing them into Raid Pokemon. It's the first outright evil Pokemon and can only be caught via Dynamax. In order to use Eternatus the trainer must purify his evil by befriending, playing, and petting it at camps.

I'll post more later.

The poster of the Dynamax rumor claimed that this rumor was posted by a friend of his using his IP Address.

Spoiler: August 7th Trailer Rumor

• Next trailer on August 7th
• 3 new Pokemon will be revealed, 4 if you include Impidimp. Also finally show off a couple Galar forms.
• Seagulp, a blue seagull Pokemon that has a pretty big oval shaped mouth horizontally. Surprisingly, Ice/Flying. It will be introduced with Booracuda, a Water/Ghost barracuda Pokemon that it hunts. Seagulp has a signature Flying attack called Dive Launch, where it dives and picks up Pikachu’s when on land, or Booracuda’s when over water, to launch at the enemy. Silliest move I’ve ever seen. Booracuda makes a funny face when being launched, like it’s going “Boo!” while Pikachu looks caught off guard
• Impidimp shown
• New Bug/Fire type based off of a fire ant, Antorch. It’s very red and the sac on it’s end looks like an actual torch.
• Marnie and Bede are revealed. Bede is a childhood friend, and Marnie is someone who moved into town recently to star on a show. She’s a little famous. Marnie has a Yamper and Bede is shown with a Grookey against the protagonist’s Sobble. That means he gets the starter stronger to you
• Team Yell grunts are shown after you interact with Marnie, as they seem to be fans of hers. They have a fan club over her and are obsessed. She doesn’t like them following her, so you fight them off. It’s pretty stupid.
• Opal’s gym is shown off. It’s Fairy type. She uses an Alcremie.
• Galarian forms. Girafarig turns Dark/Psychic. The dark side of it’s tail possesses the front of the body instead and it gets devil horns with an evil smile. The back of the body looks like normal color Girafarig and the tail is white with a normal face. Sudowoodo looks a lot more like a tree and becomes Rock/Grass
• Trailer ends with each Eeveelution shown, followed by a black screen and two new cries. I won’t spoil the types
• Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus are the main legendary trio. Zacian is Steel/Fighting and Zamazenta is Steel/Fire. Eternatus is a Dark type and looks like it’s made entirely out of black gas, though it does have form to it.
• Meteodyna is the Legendary Pokemon behind the dynamax phenomenon, and the giant drawn into the hill is based off of it when Gigantamaxed. The smaller Pokemon seen near it’s feet are closer to what it actually looks like. It looks like a baby white dragon, and is Dragon/Normal type.
• Also below Meteodyna’s feet is a mythical pig Pokemon. That one is called Pigsy, a play on the word “pixie” and is a pure Fairy type. I don’t know its relevance to Meteodyna, and it won’t be revealed in any trailer but will likely be in the game files just like all other mythicals.
• The trio of this game will be based off of wooden soldiers. One is more feminine looking. Their names are Lanswell, Axena, and Boweign.
• There are no other new Legendaries in Sword and Shield

Spoiler: NoE Translator Rumor

Lance is the last gym leader he has a hydreigon, kommo-o, dragonite, and duraludon (his ace)

post game lets you battle against all previous protagonists and other trainers like hugh and serena
word around is they're delaying the trailer
nex trailer will show two more trainers opal and kabu
it will also show regional forms like Oddish and regional evolutions like Sirfetchd

The red text under "Dynamax rumor" shouldn't be red at all. That is an easy misinterpretation to make, Zacian and Zamazenta look nearly identical at first glance. In fact, I haven't even looked at them much so to me they still look the same. It's about as far off as saying Yamper was named Pamper, as in, not that far off at all.

I feel like the leak was saying Meowth has a Galarian form and a Gigantamax, and in addition a Galarian branching evolution that is not Persian. That's how I interpreted it.

And i feel like its either a Galarian Form or a Gigantamax form. We know Gigantamax has form changes, so their literally is no need for a Galarian Meowth if it Gigantamaxes, because you can give regular Meowth the Grey Spikey fur in its Gigantamax form.

Good point, but did you have to quote the entire first post? XD

I think... having both also makes sense. They don't have to cram two concepts into one form or bar regional variants from getting Gigantamax forms.

The problem is if a Galarian Form gets a Gigantamax form, then whats the point in having the Galarian Form if you can give said formchange for the Gigantamax to the Regular form to make it different. For me personally, having both doesn't make sense.

Same reason you give a galarian form a new evolution. Because you can.

Because they can give a Galarian form a design to base the Gigantamax form off of? There's really no problem here- if they had taken normal Linoone and made it evolve into Obstagoon, exactly as it appears, it would be a design out of absolute nowhere. Gigantamax is the same principle- longcat Meowth's design choices might just be less random for a Galarian form of Meowth than it would be for the regular form. Plus it's a cat, it's not like there's any shortage of ideas for cat designs, as evidenced by the fact that this is the second time that Meowth has gotten a regional form in the first place.

Apparently only Regional variants can evolve into Regional evolutions.
Chances are, Meowth has another regional variant that evolves into a new cat mon and said regional Meowth also gets a max form.
Some may argue overkill but Zard is most certainly getting a max form on top of its two megas anyways.

Yeah, reading back I guess only regional forms get new evos....so does that mean we get Galarian Farfetech'd? Or is Sirfetch'd a cross gen evo?

yep that means he gets a regional form that evolves into Sir fetch

The new dex leak on 4chan implies even galar forms

Oh look, a checklist leak from 4chan:

Spoiler

"hello everyone, this seems like the best place to share what I know about the new pokémon titles so here I am. I wasn't originally planning on posting this but since stuff happened, not going to go into specifics, here's what I know.

a special wristband is given to you and Hop from Leon as soon as you choose your starter. it can be used to Dynamax your pokémon.

a brand new poké ball called Giga Ball will be introduced, however it can only be used in Raid Battles. you will receive 15 Giga Balls from Sonia at the beginning of your adventure.

the regional bird is inspired by a nightingale and is called Humo, it has a pretty predictable design.

Ponyta, Natu, Misdreavus and Blitzle will all have a Galarian Form.

four new pokémon inspired by The Beatles: Donkoth, Chilldrain, Octotar and Nitemite. they are all going to play an instrument.

Skwovet and Greedunt are version exclusives. Skwovet will be available in pokémon Sword and Greedunt will be available in pokémon Shield.

the final starter types are: Grass/Ground, Fire and Water/Ghost.

Team Yell is working for a company owned by the Royal Family of Galar, they get paid to follow Marnie around.

the main reason why Hop decides to start his adventure is because he's tired of being in Leon's shadow and his main goal is to defeat him.

Bede is Oleana's son which is why Chairman Rose endorses him. Bede will use the starter that is going to be stronger against yours.

gyms are Milo (Grass), Nessa (Water), Kabu (Ground), Opal (Fairy), Bea or Allister (Fighting and Ghost), Gerard (Steel), Sierra (Psychic) and Oria (Poison).

potentially, every single pokémon can be obtained in Raid Battles. GF is currently planning to have weekly online Raids alongside with events hosted by local retailers.

Zacian and Zamazenta are both pure Steel. Eternatus is Steel and Dark.

the Galar Pokédex contains 634 pokémon, 111 of those being the new ones."
