Leak Repository Thread (WARNING: Huge spoilers!)

It's dissapointing that they are shiny locked, and can only be obtained through breeding, because they are nice. They are all at least a bit subtle, with Sobble's being the biggest change, but I think they all look good. That Sobble does definitely look the best though. My little baby is adorable. Will definitely be breeding for this one after beating the game.

Edit: Scratch that, looking closer at Sobble's, it's really not a subtle change at all, but definitely the best. After the last two water starters (first stage) only getting tiny changes for their shinies, it's good to have one that you can tell apart easier.

If Inteleon fin will become pink, the internet will explode. It's already a skinny legend apparently.

Something notable: I've been scrolling through the updated move-sets and have noticed that both Raichu and Ninetales have access to all of their pre-evolutions level-up moves in their own level-up movepool. This means that stone based evolutions essentially have no downsides due to the fact that you can remember every move from the previous evo. And I believe you can remember moves inside Pokemon Centers now?

Hehe, that's wild.

Also, the Pikachu line can use Draining Kiss, Play Rough, and Surf through TMs and TRs

FREAKIN FINALLY

(an actual good change)

Ok it's hardly the only interesting change, but really, I'm glad stone evolutions can now finally access their old moves. I never good why they couldn't in the first place, it's not like similarly strong mons had such disadvantages.

Scorbunny improved a bit. Grookey is meh...Sobble still wins for me.

Let's say the bunny didn't steal Greninja best shiny model.

The Sobble shiny line is my personal favorite, but I don't like it as much as it evolves. Shiny Sobble is absolutely amazing, Drizzile is still cool, and Inteleon is fine.

I'm not a big fan of the other two, but might still hunt for them at some point anyway. Probably after I get Shiny Sobble.

Because he didn't find them in raids

Oh that's what you meant.

I gotta admit. I usually don't like shiny pokemon but these I can get on board. they are pretty.

I love it. It's very distinct from the original, which is a nice change of pace for shinies.

There had to be a collective “OHHH, I get it now” when people saw Zacian and Zamazenta’s shinies.

Yeah...i'm totally going with Sword,lol. Better looking legendary, better pokemon such as Darmanitan, Sirfetch'd,etc, it's not even a question. Shield definitely got the short end of the stick.

I'll give you better looking legendary but I think Shield got the better looking exclusives- Ponyta, Corsola, Goomy... they should've swapped 'em so all the cute options were in Sword.

shiny zacian is beautifulllllll.

also dammit, I wanted corsola to be in sword ;-;

Can I just say that the animation of Pyro Ball is awesome? One of the best animations so far by a long shot.

Cinderace used Pyro Ball!
