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

 

[Obscuritas]

Aaaaaaaaand it's already in my team.

 

[GoldStarz]

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)

 

[Meffer]

I like it! I bet it's evos will look sweet.

 

[kewlmyc]

First new pokemon I really like.

 

[GoldStarz]

I could see us getting new Mega evos with these kinds of abilities too. For example, if we got a Mega Snorlax, I could see it getting Comatose!

holy shit mega snorlax confirmed

You say Mega Snorlax, I say

Spoiler

Mega Slaking is gonna get banned sooooo hard

 

[Boss Doggie]

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

 

[SilverLunar]

it will be one of the bad guys in a Mystery Dungeon game, i can see it.

 

[belushy]

He looks awesome. Scary head area butt hats what kinda makes the design imo

 

[Razmos]

Instantly loved it

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

That is one ugly motherfucker.

 

[Trojita]

That thing looks dumb, but I'm betting on its final evo looking dope.

 

[Bitanator]

I like this one, looks cool

 

[MuchoMalo]

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.

I'd predict a glass cannon.

 

[MicH]

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

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

 

[Thud]

Awesome.

Really liking the new gen pokemangs.

Except this thing:

 

[Serenitynow]

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.

 

[jph139]

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]

Now thats a design after the last reveals being more on the meh side. Love it.

 

[MuchoMalo]

I'd predict a glass cannon.

Yeah, unfortunately. It could be good in doubles if it's a field effect though. Otherwise, it's a waste of a potentially great ability.

 

[Boss Doggie]

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

Awesome.

Really liking the new gen pokemangs.

Except this thing:

there's an official image of Ash wearing Magearna armor

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Hey, now, hey, now, now, a-sing this corrosion to me...

Seriously, this motherfucker looks dope.

 

[ASIS]

I... I love the design.

Gen VII is going to be godly.

 

[Ran rp]

This gen is going to sit at the top with R/S. I can feeel it.

 

[Bishop89]

totally cool design, and it just had to have x4 weakness to EQ.

fucking hell

 

[Sifl]

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

 

[digitalflame]

That ability seems really good...

 

[KarasuEXE]

Love it, just like every new Pokémon design. I'm really liking this Gen.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Cool.

 

[Lunarwhale]

hot damn I'm digging this design. Between this and the funky dragon Gen VII's looking pretty good to me

 

[Litri]

Futuristic salamander come to me!!! xDDD

 

[Boss Doggie]

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

 

[Sesha]

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.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I wonder if it's ability allows it to inflict damage from Poison-Type moves on Steel pokemon or it's just only the status ailment.

 

[Dereck]

I'm betting on its final evo looking dope.

[Rafavert]

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!

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

According to the description it sounds like if you catch a female one it will learn Attract naturally instead of having to use a TM. Neat!

 

[iFirez]

Aaaaaaaaand it's already in my team.

100% same, unless it's weak/doesn't evolve.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Left out poison. Airballoons!

oh right that too

time to tie up your manders on balloons!

true, but at least they're just x2

Will depend on his stats now =<

 

[KingBroly]

So it can poison every opponent's Pokemon at once? That sounds ridiculously overpowered.

 

[Kinsei]

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.

 

[Cheat Code]

Gen 7 continues to be the worst.

 

[Rafavert]

So it can poison every opponent's Pokemon at once? That sounds ridiculously overpowered.

Nothing a Heal Bell/Aromatherapy can't solve.

Come to think of it, will this bypass the Immunity ability?

 

[Par Score]

Awesome design, and cool HA. That smug/evil grin is great.

Totally in my team.

 

[tcrunch]

they can also emit pheromones that attract males of all species, including Pokémon and humans

.

 

[BewilderedDragoon]

I really hope Rowlet or Popplio get cool evos because Salandit just replaced Litten as my team's fire pokemon.

 

[Bishop89]
