Where do they rank as cover legends for you?
>>
>>56920766
they be looking like digimon who do be using space and time as weapons<—perhaps its a transgender cousins of dialga palkia ; as for the ranking they are pretty good albeit; but im not able to decide a ranking at this time

i kinda like how their bodies look like spacesuits especially solgaleo's tummy and their glass-like faces they really show the alien/space theme they have going on

>>56920766
Top. Unlike past legends, they don't feel like "the obligatory box art legend."
>not blatantly trying to upstage the previous legends by being all-powerful super gods

The only issue I have is their exclusive Abilities are just pre-existing ones that can't be ignored, but that's just a quibble.

Top 3
Lunala is far better than Solgaleo

>>56920784
>>are there with you from the beginning, allowing you to form a connection
if only you could spend time with it normally instead of the obbligatory "Muh get back in the bag" every time

Bottom-tier for being involved with multiverse garbage

Near the bottom. Solgaleo is fine I guess but it doesn't feel as intimidating and epic as somehting like Groudon, Ho-Oh, or Rayquaza. And Lunala looks kinda lame, doesn't even feel like a legendary.

USUM covers are hands down the best though. Especially with the image of Ultra Necrozma forming when you put them next to each other.

They're so fucking weak

Holy shit I never noticed

solidly middle-low tier, I think they're cool designs but they don't really leave an impression on me beyond that. Pokemon design is the least of my problems with SM, and that holds true with these guys.
>>
>>56920784
>>not blatantly trying to upstage the previous legends by being all-powerful super gods
Anon, that's literally just gen 4.
>>
>>56920766
Lunala top tier, Solgaleo mid tier.
>>
>>56920766
I can't rate a pokemon that can't stand highly, Lunala is a zero.

Yes, I genuinely dislike Gen 4's legends.

here's mine. i think SV legendaries are ok, i just think it's kinda lame how they basically become your pets from the getgo. kinda takes away the whole "legendary" feeling. primal groudon and kyogre also seem fine but their games bored me to death so i have no connection or care for them.
i didn't play sword and shield and the box art for those games fucking sucked so i put the dogs at the bottom.
fug and giratina stay undefeated for me

Lunala is based because she fits as nebby. Don’t know what the fuck they were thinking with solgaleo though.

We posting tier lists? Here's mine. Primal Groudon and Kyogre are peak designs and are actually more involved with their region than their base forms, so they're higher up. I've always loved Lugia, and Ho-Oh slightly less, though I like both of the legends associated with them and how they're involved in their region. Lugia maybe should be dropped lower because how it's treated in SoulSilver is a bit odd. I actually like the sandwich duo but they're not really legendary in scope. Gen 7 and 8 go straight to the bottom, any other opinion is wrong.
>>
i feel like if you're going to include suicune you might as well also include the kanto starters + pikachu. maybe even eevee.

It's just the first link that appeared on Google. If you care enough you can just ignore it.

The Alchemical Masculine; symbolized by the lion and the sun.
The musculature on his design also further alludes to the Masculine force.

Solgaleo is white in color. This is the color of Albedo. This ties into his Steel typing and weakness to Fire as well as metallurgy.
One must burn the impurity to reduce a material to Nigredo (black ash) and then further into Albedo (white ash, AKA salt).
Solgaleo's shiny color is red. This is the color of Rubedo, or the perfected material.

The tip of Solgaleo's tail is the shape of the alchemical crucible. This is the vessel that material is burned in to purify it.
The ball in Solgaleo's tail is symbolic of the Philosopher's Stone. This represents immortality.

Solgaleo's base stats are all prime numbers which are important in Platonic mathematics/philosophy.

Solgaleo's move set contains explosive and energetic abilities such as Wild Charge, Flare Blitz, Roar, and so on.
These are contrasted by Lunala's move pool which contain subtle abilities like Hypnosis, Spite, Trick, etc.
This disparity in the move pools represents the ideals of the Positive, expansive, male force (Solgaleo) and the Negative, contractive, female force (Lunala).

Solgaleo's psychic typing and the third eye that appears on its forehead are representative of higher functions of meditation, ultimately suggesting Inner Alchemy.
Inner Alchemy is a philosophical means of purifying oneself of impure ideals, habits, and falsehoods in order to perfect the Ego.

Solgaleo's ability to traverse Ultra Space and pass into other worlds is inspired by the ancient idea that one must accelerate his soul through the sun (or other stars) in order to reach the true after life or other worlds.

The red shapes on Solgaleo's mane form the kanji for Fire, alluding to its ties to the sun.
In addition to this, Solgaleo has a certain triangle on each of his feet. This particular triangle is also the Hermetic symbol for Fire.

Solgaleo is the best mon.

Easily the best cover legendaries in recent times.
>>
i'm still mad they retconned legends being able to evolve
other than that, way better than the dogs and raidons
>>
>>56920766
solgaleo is very low tier. lunala is one of the best legendary designs ever made.
>>
>>56923735
Why is that bad?
Did they ever mention legendaries couldn't evolve?
>>
>>56923744
Solgaleo is fine but Lunala is top tier.
>>
>>56920766
A little overdesigned, but not that bad. I wouldn't rank them very high, but I could definitely see them competing with Zekrom and Reshiram.
>>
>>56924038
They are better than Zekrom and Reshiram so that make sense
