>>30692626>>30695838Meganium is Grass/Ice based on those purple flowers that only grow up in the bumfuck north. Typhlosion is Fire/Fighting [RIP only Pure Fire starter] and becomes a dickass pugilist badger. The flames on its neck are replaced with two lines that shoot forth, think the black areas on pic related. Kinda looks like war paint in a way. Feraligatr is Water/Dragon and looks like even more of a Kaiju, it reminds me of that proto-Godzilla from the new movie. Also, they're not removing the Gale Wings nerf. Enjoy your egg warmer. Battle Bond is event-only.
>>30693632Staraptor becomes Electric/Flying, unfortunately still Physically bent.
Swinub, Piloswine, and Mamoswine retain their status as go-to dragon slayer going pure Ice for the first two forms and then Ice/Ghost as if to just say fuck Kommo-o.
Timburr and Gurdurr stay the same, Conk becomes Rock/Fighting partially integrating the pillars into his arms and legs for a weird kinda cyborg/sentinel look. Gets an ability called Impregnable which lets it ignore all hazards on the field but not get rid of them, it's really a shittier Magic Guard.
Litwick line goes Fire/Fairy
>>30694031Yup. It also serves a purpose of building up a base of people in Alola that can easily be on call in case of Ultra Beast invasion or natural disaster. Part of why Kukui developed the league and why the Battle Tree was founded were for this purpose.
