New Pokémon Revealed- Salandit

Like the design but love the typing. I am also a little apprehensive of all of this really good unique abilities though.

It'll be a bit weird if they keep retconning hidden abilities every gen though surely? What are the examples of Pokemon that had theirs changed from V to VI?

The only released one was Scolipede, but Chandelure and Zapdos had their abilities changed as well despite never being officially released. Also, some Pokemon who didn't have HAs were given them in Gen VI (like Kecleon getting Protean)

Oh yeah, reminder that unlike dragons, salamanders are actually mythical creatures too.

Looks better as a model than as art. I hope this or an evolution has some tanky stats, because this could be a real danger to the metagame if it's not frail.

Love the typing, hate the design. Gonna get destroyed by Earthquake though

EDIT ingame model looks a million times better than the art!

Really liking the new gen pokemangs.

Except this thing:

I like the design. I think it's intentionally supposed to be "ugly," even though I think calling it even that is a stretch. And it's not "over-designed," which I appreciate as well.

What a little shit.

I like him. Probably my favorite this gen, actually. Hopefully he evolves into something slimy and wretched and not, like, some badass dragon thing.
 

YAWN

Ask me which Shakespeare novel is best
Now thats a design after the last reveals being more on the meh side. Love it.

while it may be a glass cannon, the typing combo gives it a hefty amount of resistances!

Awesome.

It's ugly, but I like the typing. Hopefully theres a lot more previously underused/not used typings in the game.

again, despite x4 ground weakness, the guy has...

1/4 fairy, 1/4 bug, 1/4 grass, 1/2 fire, 1/2 steel, 1/2 ice, 1/2 fighting

its weaknesses are only

x4 ground, x2 water, x2 rock, x2 psychic

Love the grin. Cool 'mon. The concept reminds me of Krookodile.

I love that so many of the new 'mons so far are exotic animals. It's what I was hoping for.

Ground, water and rock are nasty weaknesses to have, but resisting fairy, fire, ice and fighting is awesome. Resisting grass and especially bug is also nice, but everyone and their mom already resists those, so they're not as noteworthy.

Left out poison. Airballoons!

oh right that too

time to tie up your manders on balloons!

I found the fire type that's going on my team. I've wanted a fire/poison type for a long time so I have to use it. I can't wait to find out what it's evo(s) is/are.
