You want alolan pokemon? some new mons? wanna know if the starters are actually real?
fuck you, i never see leaks about battle system changes. So I'm gonna do it
>Sleep will be getting a buff, it will make anyone move last in the priority bracket unless you use sleep talk or a priority move
>Pokémon specific items like Light ball will now work on the entire evolution line
>Eviolite gets a big buff but only for stage 1 Pokémon. If they are stage 1s holding it they get 75% defenses increase instead of 50%
>There will be a similar item for Pokémon that do not evolve where all stats except HP will be bumped up by 30% if they do not have an evolutionary line at all, and this includes Mega Evolutions, so no, you can't use it on Sableye or Audino, despite Audino being able to benefit off of this. It cannot work on Legendaries, except Phione, oddly enough.
>out of all the Pokémon to get changes in stats, the most notable is Ditto. Ditto's BST will be increased to nearly 50% of what it originally was.
>Your suspicions about alola forms getting new stats are true, Ninetales is a fast special sweeper, and Sandslash is incredibly bulky. And yes, it can take a fighting type or fire type move very well
>there will be a few new dual type moves, but they'll be mostly for Pokémon who need it. There is one that hasn't been named yet we dub "Tar Chuck," a physical fire type move that is also poison. It's not just for Salandit, since Koffing will learn it too through level up.
>some moves will be getting buffs. Psyshock will be more desirable as it will be bumped up to 90 BP, and some moves will get more BP at the cost of a little less accuracy, and some will get more accuracy at the cost of less BP
>The Gen 6 starters have signature abilities, as in only two other species will get it and they're new. Litten gets an ability where moves with lower accuracy will do more damage, Popplio will get an ability that makes Normal type moves into Water moves like Pixelate
