Pokemon Legends Arceus

How the heck do those types interact?

It's immune to Normal, Fighting and Ghost, and is weak to only Dark. It also resists Poison and Bug.

[Rafflesiac]

To be fair, I don't think that Abilities are even in the game.

...That's an actual possibility.

A bit disappointing if true, imagine your Buizel getting a 20-hit combo because it's raining.

Are we sure about that?

[Reign]

I like Zoroark, and I like Ghost types, so I'm happy. I wish it didn't have the emo hair though.

Pretty well actually. That means it has multiple immunities and only one weakness. Feels kinda weird though, neither its "base" Pokemon nor anything about its look seem to support that typing.

Also, I don't like its look in general. Might be better off as a sprite though.

If Yugioh has taught me anything, it's that Kitsune and other Yokai are all totally legit Zombie types and I don't question it anymore.

The ghost typing makes some sense to me, and if this Zorua/Zoroark lineage evolved in the conditions of Route 216 and Route 217, I think it only stands to reason that they'd become Ice types. It's basically magical evolution, definitely Lamarckian but probably with some Darwinian natural selection in there.

But they're not Ice types, they're Normal/Ghost?

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

Fuck, I forgot.

Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark have finally been officially revealed via a new trailer.



Also the website has updated to acknowledge them. Zorua's backstory is sad. T_T

[Rafflesiac]

do NOT bully the foxes ;_;

[Reign]

Zoroark's hair looks a lot better in art than it did in that trailer.

Their backstories are so good too. I love them.

[Deathhappens]

Yeah, the sprite forms are definitely much improved.

[Laserman]

I tried looking for any conformation of their typing before this and I just couldn't find it.

[Skull]

We got a snippet of the Battle Theme apparently.

[GDB]

I'm still just waiting for confirmation about whether the starters will actually get new evolutions and what they're like. It's something I've been wanting forever.

[Skull]

They've been withholding the Starter evolutions in trailers so much (even against bosses) it's practically guaranteed that something's up with them.

The real question is just *what* would they be? Regional Evolutions? Legendary Forms? Arceus Forms?

[Mattias]

What if the twist is that they aren't our starters? What if the one's we've seen are instead a later game gift like all the other gen starters in X&Y?

I DIG that new battle theme. It's exactly the kind of familiar motif + interesting new arrangement I love to hear.

I really doubt they could get away with giving new forms to three starters out of 24 or however many we're up to now, but an uncanny thought occurs:
What if there's no player Pokemon evolution mechanic in the game? Sure, we know there are new regional forms and even regional evolutions, but what if you have to catch the evolved forms separately?

[Skull]

They’re doing another gimmicky tease reveal like they did with Zorua. This time it’s pretty obviously Hisuian Voltorb.
