Alright senpai, it’s S&M leak time. This isn’t an AMA. This is one post and that’s it. Take it, leave, believe it, don't; whatever. Buckle in, coz this ain't your mom’s Pokemon.
1. Once it has learned Howl, you can choose to leave Rockruff by one of four cliffs, one per island, overnight; it will have evolved when you return in the morning. The evolved form takes up 1 Pokedex slot, but each island gives a different form with unique stats and typing (Rock/Dark, Rock/Fairy, Rock/Fighting, Rock/Steel).
2. Like Rockruff, the starters have multiple final evolutions; one when evolved during the day, one when evolved at night. Like Rockruff, they take up 1 Pokedex slot, but have different types/stats/movepools.
3. Some old Pokemon found in Alola are different to those found in other regions, namely their markings/colors; example, Alolan Pidove are pure white.
4. Arbok and a few others have unique markings depending on capture region. 6 total variations: Kanto/Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola.
5. Some old Pokemon heights/weights are different when encountered in Alola. The models are changed accordingly; example Dodrio are taller and have longer/thicker legs compared to other regions.
6. Unique breeding incenses have gone the way of the dodo. They now hatch like any other Pokemon.
7. Some old Pokemon’s stats have been changed/flipped; example Alolan Rapidash have better special attack than attack.
8. Pokemon transferred from older gens or caught in other regions maintain their stats/appearance. These are new variants, not new Pokemon, but they’re designed to give players more variety.
9. Bank transfers from Gen 6 also will learn the same moves at same levels based as in XYORAS. No Gen 7 moves are available to them except via TM/HM.
10. Pokemon transferred from the VC RBYG will have the gen 5 typing/stats for those Pokemon. However, the movepools will be those from XYORAS so as not to disadvantage these Pokemon too much.
Class dismissed.
