Because instead of going with one of the fuckton of combos they haven't used on a legend yet, they rehash instead, in a completely arbitrary, nonsensical way at that.

Also, no one needs or wants more psychic legends of any kind, yet both new mascots are psychic.

But then these are the same hacks who gave us three fire/fighting starters.

I think it's lame. Given that typing and the name of its ability ("Full Metal Body", just a renamed Clear Body), I think it's going to have a stat spread similar to Metagross, but probably faster or with a little more Special Attack, and with a signature move that's like a beefed-up Meteor Mash. Boring shit.

Lunala is looking pretty good, since its Psychic/Ghost typing gives it only two type weaknesses (one of which is fairly exotic) and it has an ability that's basically a renamed Multiscale. I think it's going to have good defensive stats with adequate attacking stats, like Lugia or Giratina. Hard to say what kind of signature move it's going to have, but I hope it's cool.

I think Solgaleo is going to be the Groudon of this gen -- the cooler looking cover legendary that ends up being weaker than its counterpart.

I think that's the worst-case scenario for it, and Crunch is the least of its worries. Things like Sucker Punch and Pursuit are going to maul it, even with Shadow Shield. I'm hoping its signature move can help protect it some, maybe by debuffing attack or sharply raising its defenses (sort of like a defensive Geomancy).

Lunala can hit Solgaleo with 2x ghost attacks (ie: its signature more Shadowgeist Beam).

Solgaleo has no effective STAB attacks against Lunala.

Man that's a stupid thing to say

>>339903383
how likely is it that the two legendaries will be fighting each other though? more interested in relation to the overall battle meta
>>
>>339903556
I hoping they take the coexistence route.
>>
>>339902447
Can you even call the defensive Ice types besides Avalugg "bulky"? They're just shit. The have one moderately high defensive stat and the rest of their stats are pure garbage.
>>
>>339903556
Hmm, in terms of meta? Neither will be that good.

Full Metal Body is inferior to Shadow Shield. If Lunala is defensive/tanky that is going to give it an instant niche.

The problem with Lunala is that it's 4x weak to dark AND ghost, both types occur fairly often in the meta. Knockoff will rape Lunala, as will anything with Shadowball.

Solgaleo? Meh, don't care. Psychic/Steel is a shit typing, both offensively and defensively.
>>
>>339903741
so lunala is the slightly less shitty one but they're both shit? Guess I'll wait to see what unique pokemon the two versions get

Gen 2 - Didn't fight in Gen 2
Gen 3 - Fought
Gen 4 - Didn't fight in Gen 4
Gen 5 - Only fought because humans split the original dragons and commanded them to fight
Gen 6 - Yveltal and Xerneas don't seem to exist in the same continuity, it's either one or the other. Neither fights the other.
>>
Did Game Freak forget that they introduced a Pokemon in the gen 5 lore that we've still never seen?

The ancient Pokemon that split into Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem.

We've seen Zekrom/Kyurem and Reshiram/Kyurem recombined, but not all 3.

>>339903741
You really have to wonder what the hell they were thinking with those typings

thanks Jeebus for that. HMs were fucking stupid. They were almost always a waste of a move slot when they could easily just make it so you need the badge and have a pokemon that CAN learn the move
>>
>>339903821
Yup. Offensively, Psychic and Steel are base types so Solgaleo's STABs will be ass regardless of his base stats. He's also a quadruped so he loses access to a lot of really good moves. Full Metal Body is a defensive ability, and not a particularly good one.

Lunala has a slightly better offensive typing (because of Ghost) but it's not great. Defensively it's going to get wrecked. Shadow Shield will only save it from OHKOs.

fairy is actually a good addition, mega can go either way

but they focused more on pandering rather than fleshing out Kalos, it had so much potential (like Team Flare, especially if you read between the lines) but you had to waste time with all this Gen 1 starter shit

Well, the official format for competitive pokemon is actually Doubles. Legendaries are banned from official competition (or at least, 99% of them are).

It makes sense that GF doesn't give s shit about their typings, abilities, or movesets if they're not even intended to be competitively viable.

I didn't see these before:
>Lunala’s signature Moongeist Beam attack releases an ominous beam of light that disregards the target’s Ability.

Heatran is the only legendary pokemon that can actually have a variable gender.

>>
>>339904458
Dark moves tend to be a better option than Ghost ones if they're available because they hit the same things super-effectively, and no type is immune to them, unlike Ghost.

>Gengar is always relevant
That's like saying Flying isn't exotic because (Mega) Salamence or Rayquaza is relevant. It actually just means it has an exotic STAB type.

>most Psychic-types usually pack Shadow Ball.
That's actually wrong. It's available, but not typically used by, monsters that people actually use. Whether you're talking about VGC or Smogon's upper tiers, the only commonly used Psychic type that *might* carry Shadow Ball is Mewtwo, and even then, it has better options. Things like Starmie, Latios, Latias, Gardevoir, Slowbro, etc. aren't going to waste a slot on it. If you're talking about battling with your friends from the anime club, you might give Shadow Ball to your Alakazam, but you'd be better off with a different move.

>Lucario was not "forced"
It was a legendary ranking in the first mystery dungeon "Lucario rank" and alakazam went on about how "GREAT" and "POWERFUL" he was. in Gen 6 he became the mega evolution poster boy (despite mewtwo being revealed first) even with an erected statue of it in x/y with plot elements "it was the first mega due to it's great bond with it's trainer" oh and you're handed a free one despite being able to catch a riolu in the third(?) route.
