Hey guys there's a new physical attacking Psychic/Steel type coming! And it's ability 'prevents stat drops'.
Solagleo is literally Metagross.
How do you know Solgaleo is a physical attacker?
Who runs stat drops anyway? Terrible ability.
>>26605359
Probably the fact that its signature move, Sunsteel Strike, sounds like a physical move. If that wasn't enough, the gameplay footage showed Solgaleo slamming into a Slamence.
>>26605359
It's pretty obvious to tell from their signature moves that Solgaleo is physically oriented and Lunaala is primarily a special attacker.
>>26605333
Don't forget it's also a quadruped.
>>26605377
Mega Salamence if we're talking Ubers
I prefer Metagross over that SpaceLion.
>>26605333
there is still a SLIM chance
that sola ability is slightly different
it could be understood as even if burned no attack dropped or no speed drop from para
while unlikely theres still a chance i guess
assuming you dont care about OU and just wana play ubers yvetal shits on both new legends
inb4 full metal body prevents stat drops AND immune to all status problems.
>>26605333
>implying thats a bad thing
>>26605377
>what is Intimidate
If he's really a physical attacker then that ability will come in handy
>>26605333
the funny thing is that solgaleo will probably have a higher catch rate than metagross
>>26605390
How is it obvious? Yveltal has Oblivion Wing yet its attacking stats are equal. It could be the same for Solgaleo. It's likely it'll have higher Atk, but I wouldn't say it's so obvious since GF doesn't always follow the obvious with stat spreads.
>>26605465
that's pretty cool actually
imagine not getting the speed drop from paralyze or the attack drop from burn
pretty cool desu
>>26605333
it also looks like shit
and will probably barely have a higher BST if at all
>>26605395
Solgaleo walks on 4 legs; Metagross walks on 4 arms
>>26608379
Box legends always have 680 BST. Metagross has 600.
>>26608797
>Mega Metagross has 700 BST and Tough Claws
What would make Solgaleo worth using over Metagross?
>>26608858
Solgaleo doesn't eat your mega slot, and would probably have Fire attacks that would make it walled less.
>>26608858
152 base HP, for one
>>26605377
Sticky Web/Intimidate
>>26608797
Groudon and Kyogre have 670. Kyurem-B/W has 700 and only 660 as regular Kyurem. And then we got Zygarde of course who broke all sorts of 3rd legendary patterns. You never know what they're going to do.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if these have anywhere between 600 and 1000.
>>26608858
Top Lion has only 20 less BST points, can hold items and will very likely have an extremely better movepool.
one question though....
what does Full Metal Body do?
we know that it had the effect of Clear Body, but is there anything extra? I mean, I hope there is anyways
>>26610575
If it's just like Gen 5's Legendary versions of Mold Breaker, then nothing.
At best, maybe it'll prevent self-inflicted stat drops and be immune to Simple Beam, Entrainment, Gastro Acid, Trace, etc.
>>26610575
There are plenty of legendaries which can do fine even with literally no ability, it's not a make or break like with normal mons.
>>26607047
Well, Solgaleo's stats are looking pretty spread out already. 150ish base HP, 150ish base Attack or SpA, and at least 101 speed eats up at least 401 of Solga's bst. Unless it has a higher BST than normal cover legendaries it has under 280 left, which would be roughly 93 each per stat. If it doesn't dump one of those attacks, there isn't much left for actual defences.
>>26610565
this.
>>26608858
the ability to boost it's attack and a high power grass-type move to reliably beat Bulky Grounds AND Bulky Waters
