That list implies that Jangmo-o is NOT a pseudo legend. Since they are Pokemon with BST 600, 3 stage Pokemon.

It could just be that Jangmo-o's Evolutions haven't been revealed or leaked, and thus it has nothing after it. Morelull and Minior also have nothing after them and both seem very likely to evolve.

Not Revealed/ Not leaked evolutions are denoted by a '?' Sign. Just look between Litten and Litten3 and the marks where Pikipek2 and 3 are supposed to be.

There's question marks becuase the Evolutions are known to exist, they just haven't been leaked/revealed. The starters are both obviously going to have middle evos, and Pikipek's Pokédex showed two Evolutions after it. I doubt that none of Morelull, Jangmo-o, Minior, Comfey or Bounsweet will evolve tbh.

The dotted line could imply that there are two UB-01s and that they are version-exclusive like UB-02.

Also, Wimpod evolutions are mentioned in most leaks, but we haven't got the '?' sign there.
I'm feeling something fishy with this list...

It seems like every new Pokemon is just added before the legendaries, which seem to start with Type: Null, unless it's an evolution of a previous Pokemon.

Like Aromatic Mist said, it's highly unlikely that all of the following will not evolve:

-Komala
-Salandit
-Wimpod
-Bounsweet
-Morelull
-Pyukumuku
-Jangmo-o
-Minior

(That is not to say these all will either, but these are the ones I expect to evolve and I would not believe at least half wouldn't)

It's not that the list is "fishy", it's more that it's just how it was made. Likely the riddler only wanting to leak certain things or only show for some pokemon how many are in their evolutionary line.

So the riddler is actually hinting at that Jangmo-o evo with the monk staff of one of the leaks being real.

This seems suspicious but, plausible...
"Am I lying? Or is this a speculation post? What could it possibly be?
>I'm not a leaker but I have a bunch of random points below which could be real, could be fake, Most likely the latter ;). I may be making this whole thing up for all we know. Anyways the points are below if you want to take a look" (I could see those as the other starter typing because of the website, the box legend pre-evo thing, and z-forms)

According to that, only the Alola starters will be the ones without Mega/Z form by the end of gen VII. I can't seem them doing that. Need some new forms for Gen VIII too...

And I'd like Johto Starters to get Z Forms instead of Megas so bad...

This is interesting. I can see UB being summoned as I don't think they'll be catchable. Too bad there might be nothing that can prove/debunk this leak soon enough.

Now the Ultrabeast are part of the box list? Now I really feel that Solgaleo and Lunala do have a connection to the UBs.

That's interesting. It also pushes Marshadow further away from Solgaleo and Lunala, reinforcing my suspicion that it is unrelated to them. If I look at this, the way I interpret it is that the "main" Pokédex ends with Aristotle. Then you have the Ultra Beasts, which may or may not be Pokémon at all and therefore may not even be in the Pokédex, and then two Mythical Pokémon (Magearna and Marshadow), which are essentially just bonuses and aren't normally included in the Pokédex.

That's got me thinking some more about the Artistotle hint. What if it refers to the Solgaleo/Lunala pre-evolution? The element of aether was proposed by Aristotle, and was thought to be what celestial bodies, like the sun and the moon, were composed of. So, what if it's an aether-based Pokémon that both Solgaleo and Lunala stem from?

(It being listed after them doesn't seem like much of a problem to me - a pre-evolution for two Legendary Pokémon would be pretty unique, and may merit some special indication in the Pokédex, like Victini being #000. Besides, Legendary Pokémon have been sorted into counterintuitive sequences before - Mewtwo and Phione precede Mew and Manaphy, respectively, despite originating from them; Giratina is two spaces away from Dialga and Palkia, and then Kyurem is separated by one space from Reshiram and Zekrom, who are literally just animate parts of Kyurem's original body.)

Aren't dolphins super scary anyway? I'll take Dark Dolphin as long as there is a freaking dolphin in-game.

Aren't dolphins known to sometimes murder and molest each other? I'd say that's kind of dark.

In any case, any game that addresses the hidden evil of those puppy-eyed bastards is a solid ten in my book. i'm kidding but actually

Dolphins murder other animals for shits and giggles. If we don't get Dark, Fairy would be perfect. Mythological fairies were assholes, and they also have the same cutesy reputation dolphins have. Being Fairy would also work well with the whole "sharks and dolphins are enemies" trope, since Fairy is strong against Dark and Dragon, so the dolphin mon would have a type advantage against Sharpedo and Garchomp. Dolphins kill sharks all the time, and not always out of defense. They've been seen playing ball with shark pups... And the shark pup is the "ball" they bat around with their beaks. The poor baby shark always dies when dolphins play this "game."
