Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon (New starters and cover legendaries revealed)

i don't think that would be terrible... sleep moves aren't too common and the one used most often (spore) already has 100% accuracy. you could also just give it a chesto berry.
 
Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon (New starters and cover legendaries revealed)

If you give it a Chesto Berry, you have to forgo your Life Orb, Choice Item, or Leftovers though, and those items are pretty damn valuable.
 
Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon (New starters and cover legendaries revealed)

well that is if it actually evolves into something competitively viable
another option is giving it sleep talk

Late, but the koala's ability definitely needs to have so some sort of drawback because it honestly seems too good, especially since some abilities only prevent one type of status from occurring to the affected Pokemon while this ability prevents all status conditions except sleep.

About time we got some of the Zygarde forms. IIRC, the only form we have yet to see in-game now is the Zygarde core (the blob thing).

It looks like the koala might be this gen's obligatory early game mammal like Rattata, Zigzagoon, Bidoof, etc. You might not need to worry about having to fight a super strong Pokemon with this ability.

To be fair, aside from some legendaries and "gimmicky" Pokemon, I don't think there's ever been an ability that has only been obtainable on one Pokemon or its evolutions, both normally obtainable and hidden. Of course, I might be wrong, but I'd be surprised if this ability was exclusive to this Pokemon.

What if, in addition to all status effects except sleep failing, putting it to sleep is always a guaranteed success?

That would turn the ability from pretty OP to absolute shite.

I was thinking this exact same thing too, which would make Hypnosis a bit more useful if this Pokemon were ever to become viable in some shape. I wonder if touching a Pokemon with Effect Spore would automatically make it fall asleep too.

Treehouse is showing gameplay right now. Good look at battle screen.

-Separate pokeball button during battles
-New helpful battle interface that shows how a Pokemon's stats have changed over the course of a battle
-Can check a move's properties at the touch of a button
-Yungoos, a new Pokemon.

-Rival has the starter weak to yours.
-New mode BATTLE ROYALE. 1v1v1v1
-Clothes customization is back
-Grubbin, new bug type

-Stakeout's effect: This Ability means that the Pokémon’s moves can deal twice the normal damage to any Pokémon that switches in or enters the field mid-battle. -Soul Heart's effect: This Ability raises Magearna’s Special Attack by 1 each time another Pokémon in the arena faints.
-It also noted the change in the appearance of Solgaleo and Lunala while they do their signature moves as being called Radiant Sun phase & Full Moon phase

Watching Nintendo Treehouse, I've come to this conclusion:

I NEED THIS GAME AND I NEED IT NOW

YUNGOOS AND PIKIPEK ARE SO STINKIN ADORABLE
 
Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon (New starters and cover legendaries revealed)

I am so hyped for FFA battles.

grubbin is adorable but i'm 99% sure it'll evolve to be just the regional shitty bug pokemon that every generation has to have for some reason

Hopefully it's badass like Scolipede.
 
Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon (New starters and cover legendaries revealed)

Yungoos looks more like the HM slave of this region than the koala (Iwanka?) and Pikipek is definitely the obligatory first route bird. I'm kind of meh on Grubbin, but I hope it looks cool when evolved. Likely the obligatory early game bug though.
