Leak Repository Thread (WARNING: Huge spoilers!)

[RileyXY1]

We haven't yet known Zacian and Zamazenta's types as of yet, whilst whenever Past mascot Legendaries do show up, they do reveal their typings. So why isn't this time?

It makes me somewhat feel that this might actually be real, but it's not that likely.

I admit there's a possibility that leak is real. But if it is, why was it unmentioned in the one leak we know is real?

 

[RileyXY1]

The only reason why I think that it could be real is because they haven't revealed Zacian and Zamazenta's typings yet for some reason. At this point for both XY and SM, we knew the box legends' typings, but now we don't.

The leaker did say that it was frustrated that it wasn't able to view more of the contents near the end of it's leak.

 

[Lunala]

If there is a Royal type, is Tsareena now Grass/Royal? I hope so.

 

[Grass Type Gardenia]

And if Royal Type is real then what will it be strong against, as well as what will it be weak against. I've come up with an idea based on it's nature...

Royal will probably be immune to Fairy, super effective against Dragon, and weak to Dark

 

[Lunala]

I feel like Royal type might have an interaction with Fighting type too. Fighting type is associated with a spirit of nobility.

We haven't known Zekrom/Reshiram and Xerneas/Yveltals typing for quite some time after their reveal.
Also Royal type is just ... no.

As much as I think a new type sounds cool, that leak said Gigantamax Lapras and Charizard get a new typing while Gigantamaxed. Hasn’t it already been confirmed typing doesn’t change when Gigantamax happens?

Some Mega Evolutions change type and some don't. That we haven't seen any change type yet doesn't really prove anything.

 

[Grass Type Gardenia]

The typing of the Legendaries's delay is probably due to GF's part.

 

[Homulily1026]

That we haven't seen any change type yet doesn't really prove anything.

It would prove the leak is false if typing doesn’t change during Gigantamax, since the leak said Lapras and Charizard change typing.

(It also says Meteodyna is fake, which is sorta sketchy.)

Pretty much.

Also love how they're calling Meteordyna fake. I'm just gonna call BS on that.

Some Mega Evolutions change type and some don't. That we haven't seen any change type yet doesn't really prove anything.

And the odds that they just happened to pick three pokemon that don't change type...? Like changing type would be a big reveal after Mega Evolution, there's no reason to keep it as a "surprise."

 

[Homulily1026]

I wonder what that leaker was thinking when he said Meteodyna was fake.

"I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot."

It would prove the leak fake if no Gigantamax changes type, yes. However, we don't actually know that yet.

Note, the leak would be proven fake even if the Royal type was real if no Gigantamax changed types.

Why not? It's not stunningly unlikely like Pokemon death in-game or something like that. Perhaps it reduces the probability a little, but it's not a major thing.

Also love how they're calling Meteordyna fake. I'm just gonna call BS on that.

They didn't actually call it fake. They just said they haven't seen it at all.

"I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot."

“I’ll also shoot my other foot by saying Victini will get a Galarian Form.”

1: I know that? You’d think they’d already say if Gigantamax changes type by this point in time.

2: “I haven’t heard or seen anything about a Pokémon called Meteordyna” heavily implies that Meteodyna is fake.

 

[Grass Type Gardenia]

“I’ll also shoot my other foot by saying Victini will get a Galarian Form.”

And then you trip up because you have no feet to stand on.

The royal type leak is fake.
It absolutely makes zero sense they are gonna remove Empoleons secondary type and swap it out for Royal, because of marketing.
Secondly: Sylveon was the first 'Normal' Pokemon (Non-Starter or legendary) too be revealed for X and Y, because its an Eeveelution and Fairy typing was a permanent new typing. So if we got a new Eeveelution with the Royal typing, we would have known by now.
Another potential problem is that you can class the majority of the Fairy types as Royal types as well.
