The new paradoxes are called Raging Bolt and Iron Crown

Finally, a good Iron name

As hyped as I am for the raid I wanna scope it out first and see what it's got. Then if anyone comes up with a solo strat I can go off of that.

Dipplin has a new Grass-type move that continuously lowers the opponent's Speed for three turns. Its ability lowers the opponent's Evasion.

Archaludon has Electro Beam, a Electric-type Solar Beam that instantly charges in rain.

Applin is now the third pokemon to have more than two direct evolutions (others being eevee and tyrogue). Or does rockruff count?

If Rockruff does count then Pokémon with the second most evolutions is actually Burmy. And teeeechnically there are also three Meowth evolutions and four Slowpoke evolutions, but that's because there are three Meowths and two Slowpokes, so not really branched evolutions.

[up] I said direct evolutions. Meowth isn't a split evo (each form has one direct evo), and slowpoke's forms only directly evolve into two respectively. Burmy and Rockruff might count.

Basically, if I have one pokemon in my party, how many other pokemon can i evolve that exact, specific pokemon into? That's what I'm considering

I just remembered Alcremie and Vivillon... you know what let's just make our lives easier and say yes, Eevee, Tyrogue, and Applin are the only Pokémon with more than two evolutions.

Well dang Raging bolt really is a saurpod. I saw that speculated as but cool to confirm.

So I guess we really are getting a version of each of the legendary beasts and the swords of justice which becomes a fused form

New Raikou looks stupid, which is a good thing. So Gamefreak got at least one thing right.

It's funny how they all have Iron in their names but only one so far is a Steel-type. Would be even funnier if it turned out that Iron Crown was Fighting/Something instead of Steel/Something.

So what we think Entei will become?

Triceritops? Ankylosaurus ? T rex ?

I thought turning Raikou into a giraffe was because the kirin was identified with giraffes after a Chinese explorer took one home with him and presented the "qilin" as a gift to the emperor.

Sales data for the best selling games in the US of 2000 and 2001 show the first Pokemon Stadium was the best selling game of 2000 and Pokemon Stadium 2 was the 9th best selling game of 2001, even outpacing Crystal.

If I understood things right, apparently Terapagos has a normal and a Terestal form.

Is one of them the Pokémon that appeared from Liko’s pendant? They said it was a separate Pokémon (and are going out of their way to avoid naming it. Seriously, is the name a spoiler?).

Did the Japanese version of the Presentation have something different during what in the US was the Pokemon Horizons segment? Since the anime has already started there.
