SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword and Shield Datamine Thread

[fratelli bc]

Regieleki learns Electro Ball, Rapid Spin, Electric STABs and... that's it. Only gets Assurance, Round, Ancient Power and Acrobatics as coverage.

Basically Jolteon on cocaine

 

[Missingno.1998]

Calyrex does get Leech Seed and Trick Room (and Life Dew for recovery), which is great for its Ice Rider form.

 

[Peaches144]

Haven't been able to see the pastbins for moves but Serebii lists G-Moltres with no Fire moves, G-Articuno with no ice moves, and G-Zap with no Electric moves. They're entirely different pokemon at this point.

 

[MrHands]

Lmao Regieleki DOES learn Electro Ball

This is going to be interesting...

I thought so until I realized Scarf Electro Ball only hits 120 BP against max speed Abomasnow... It gets a bit better against slower walls like Skarmory and Chansey but at that point you still barely hit 150. Like, at that point just run LO Modest Thunderbolt.

 

[TURBODERP]

Regieleki gets Rapid Spin, Extreme Speed, Screens, Boom, and pretty much all Electric moves. Not much coverage outside of that.

IDK if it'll be that great -- it still doesn't *quite* have enough speed to get over 80 base power on things above, like, 80 base speed, right?

 

[PimpParasect]

oof Regieleki 's movepool kinda trash tho.

no good coverage but it does get Ex-speed like i predicted.

 

[Trevonvonton]

Regidrago actually learns Dragon dance. Honesty I don't think its as bad as people say.

 

[doipy hooves]

what are transistor and dragon's maw btw

Generic powerup description.

[DragonAscent]

Am I stupid or do the tapus not have any tutor moves?

 

[earl]

God these movepools are so ass, coverage does not exist

 

[lordkira]

Mmm I don't know about regieleki mainly because of its move pool.

 

[Tmi489]

The Horses are GIFTS

most likely a story event (like kubfu)
centro said it was similar to the urshifu towers

Ah, true, I had forgotten about that

 

[Rarycaris]

Regigigas update: does not get Protect or Substitute or anything besides Rest to make it even remotely usable, unless Slow Start itself got buffed.

 

[R_N]

So at least on the tutorial adventure it doesnt seem like the raid pokemon have shields.


Also I ran into a g-max alcremie

 

[S. Court]

Wait... Tapus don't learn any tutor move? Wow...

 

[Missingno.1998]

Regidrago actually learns Dragon dance. Honesty I don't think its as bad as people say.

Agreed. It has the bulk and speed to pull off DD, plus its ability boosts its damage output as well.

 

[SpexHecs]

regieleki dead on arrival, insane that in the course of 30 minutes regidrago came out on top

 

[Flarowak]

Ghost horse about to be broken af.

 

[Missingno.1998]

Why are the movepools of the new pokemon so shallow?

 

[MrHands]

G-Zapdos and G-Moltres don't get Roost lol. Articuno gets Recover but that's basically a strict downgrade. None of them get the Ice / Electric / Fire moves of their Kanto forms either.

Edit: Apparently the Tapus don't get any tutor moves either? LOL.

Gamefreak once again manages to disappoint.

Edit 2: Regigigas learns Protect via level up now lol.

On top of what?
This thing simply can't hit fairies

 

[pieman83]

Pretty typical for new Pokemon as far as I remember, even if legends

 

[lordkira]

fingers cross for somebody to say "my bad reieleki gets more moves"
