This is interesting! Persian is in the dex (along with the Galarian Meowth line), meaning that regular (maybe even Alola forms) can be obtainable. Remember that Gigantamax Meowth cannot evolve, so there's a possibility of regular Kantonian Meowth being available in the wild/trade (or it will be transferable).

I need a new Kanto mon tally. My money's at stake again.

This is a perfect Roman Phalanx.

Btw, Zacian is Fairy, Zamazenta is fighting and both get the Steel Typing when sword/shield is equipped. Is that right?

Based on the types, which one would be better competitively?
Zacian. Primal Groudon is gone and it can probably wall Xerneas.

It depends entirely on what else is in ubers, to which the current answer is "nothing". Both cover legends are neutral against each other in full-powered form, which is a nice touch. This sort of confirms Eternatus as Dark type aswell, since that makes both cover legends have a type advantage against it.

Fighting during normal, Steel/Fighting when shield is equpped
Ha. Guessed their typing ever since the february direct because they both should deal neutral damage to each other (the theme of the unbreakable shield vs sword that cuts through anything) but people insisted on dumb typings like double fighting steel or water steel and fire steel
Fighter kirby is sooo great. Snom im sorry but my number one favourite pokemon is now here. I dowonder if theyre wrong abt the second pic being an evo. Cause they didnt evolve they literally just stopped the formation
Whats up there between yamask and cofagrigus? New mid evo?

There's definitely some Gen5 favouritism in these games xD
Its abt some time some other gen gets love, see how excited everyone is when they finally started experimenting with newer mons? I dont like the gen 5 mons chosen personally but im super happy for gen 5 fans

I'm more confused about Type: Null being in the game.
Is that confirmed? Thats insane, my favourite legendary didnt just get insta sacked. I hope it gets the much needed buffs it wanted last gen
 
Let me get this straight. Sirfetch'd is pure Fighting, just like the octopus bros, and Falinks? I don't have much of a problem with monotype, but when you got the same type for for three different lines in a new game/generation, I have to question: Why on Earth?! Bet Galarian Darmanitan is pure Ice, when it's a perfect candidate for an Ice/Fighting mon, the anticipated type Crabominable failed to carry due to its speed.
 
Much as I appreciate it, it's super weird that they're cutting legendaries to reduce bloat, but they're leaving in a barely-used legendary(?) which has 18 associated items.

Then again, this seems like the sort of meta in which a downscaled Arceus clone might actually be good.
