Yeah, but I don't see a gorilla sucking the blood out of its opponents

Two things, one is that gorillas are omnivorous, and second is that they have large fangs.

So they could.

Granted, the meat takes a small part of their diet and they mainly eat stuff like ants, but whatever.

Okay, I forgot about termites, but I didn't know about them eating meat.

If you eat arthropods, that is a meat source in your diet. I think most scientists would agree with this.

Calling arthropods "not meat" is like calling fish the same. It's not scientific.

That said, they do also eat small mammals and small reptiles.

Like I said, it is a big fail in my part.

It does learn Leech Life. I put it on the movelist. I know my writing is crappy haha.


I guess it does but I gave it to him because Incineroar learns it. I looked at other Pokémon for move ideas.

It was supposed to be a joke because you wrote Leech Life twice xD

remeber the effects when fire pledge and grass pledge are used and a sea of fire is born?
What if Scorchbunny when entering battle will create such a sea to harm it's oponent , burn entry hazards and destroy terrains?

 

[Beer&Nyquil]

Why would it be able to do that

 

[RTLfan]

I presume I'm not the only one that thinks that Scorbunny looks like a Normal type, right?

 

[Eeveely]

It makes sense since it has that "normal-looking" fur , but it is mostly pure fire-type and it's gonna surely evolve into a fighting-type mon (if not just looking like one)

Maybe it will have Normal as a secondary type.

you know, now that you mention it, that could be a great possibility. with grookey being mischievous (dark?) and sobble disappearing like a ghost...

A very interesting 'theory'. What would be the implications of it?

 

[ShinyShrew]

I'm a Sobble fan, I know, but Scorbunny's type has been a popular topic lately (or so I've observed) so I decided to put my opinion into it! I personally hope the line turns out to be a Fire/Ground type because Scorbunny's is based off of a rabbit and rabbits burrow into the ground a lot.

 

[prog rocker]

I think Fire/Electric would be better from the choices you're putting here, since it would be something new. Fire/Ground doesn't sound that good since we already have a Ground rabbit.

 

[BigBadButterfree]

Where's pure fire? I don't think that's what it'll be, but the question says "want," not "expect," and I want pure fire.

Also, why just Scorbunny? I feel like a thread for each starter would be overkill, but maybe this should be a "starter discussion" thread instead, unless one already exists? Cuz I'm a Sobble-boy and he wants some love too.

I agree with you, I probably should of included Sobble and Grookey. But the reason why I didn't was because I've just been seeing more hype for what Scorbunny's line will be typed. Maybe in the future I'll do another one including the other starters.

There's already a starter thread, it's just that no one has posted there in a while.

Which is your favorite starter so far? And which one will you most likely pick?

I've wanted a fire/fairy pokemon since fairy was revealed. They're my two favorite types.

But I expect pure fire or (shudders) fire/fighting (looking at that bandaid...)

I agree, but we shouldn't judge Scorbunny based on it's appearance. EX: Piplup is a Penguin, Penguins normally live in frozen climates. But Empoleon ended up as Water/Steel instead of Water/Ice. Just saying.
