>>40638198>got to the point where he fully evolved his starterThere were two leakers, the Indonesian guy who took photos of his Switch screen (foxes, poison/electric, water city, elephant, grookey2, sobble2, grookey2 in camp, fuzzy meowth) and a guy who took screencaptures (viking meowth, sobble3, grookey3)
The Indonesian leaker said he was 7 levels away from evolving his starter (pretty sure he had to have had Grookey if Hop had Sobble), so all the mons he had seen were not up to the point of the starter being a third stage.
Also of course they are going to grind them as quickly as possible on early routes to see what they evolve into as soon as possible. There probably won't be a great number of new Pokemon, but so far these leaks are NOT a good measure of new Pokemon numbers.
