They really thought they had another lucario on their hands lmao
>>58270889I dont think they expected it to be. They made it a fucking random ass mythical. If this were a 3 stage starter it would be infinitely more popular
>>58270889That's a weird picture of cinderace you got here
Lucario if she real
>>58270889I think it was definitely supposed to have a similar appeal to Lucario in the same way Zoroark but I doubt it was neither expected to have Lucario-tier popularity nor was it intended to.For one it wasn't dropped until USUM and even then not until 2018, whereas Lucario and Zoroark were both revealed before their respective generations.For another, Zeraora's distribution has been absolute cheeks. I think the only Mythical that has been distributed less than Zeraora is Pecharunt and that's because it's only just been released.Zeraora has only had the initial Fula City/The Power of Us tie-in distribution in Gen 7 and a Shiny that was given away through Home for a limited time. Most other mythicals that have only had a few appearances usually get a gimme Go distribution as a reward for doing in-game quests, but Zeraora got nothing.It's hard to consider it a shillmon when it's barely been shilled. It hasn't even appeared in the Adventures manga.I think there's a better case for Magearna to be the Gen 7 Mythical bipedal shillmon. Zeraora is just furbait.
>>58271247Wasn't there an entire SWSH event dedicated to it
>she really thinks they give a fuck what the west thinksIt DID become that in Japan though. Sorry it missed you, but they hit the target at home, which is all they truly care about.
>>58271272That was the Home distribution. Zeraora would appear in Max Raids and players were tasked with beating it one million times to earn the Shiny similar to the Shiny Treasures of Ruin event that is going on right now.
>>58270889I liked his friend
>>58270912it would def mog the other furry shillmons from gens 6 to nowit’s adjacent them, but idk it’s just cooler, and it doesn’t have an explicit job (please GF stop doing that)
>MythicalDoomed to fail
>>58270889If they actually shilled it, it would probably be a second Lucario. It’s the second most popular mythical behind Mew despite being a literal add on to an unrelated movie, and continually tops polls in Japan. If anything they underestimated Zeraora.
>>58272202if it was a modern starter it probably would have a clear job though
Just another Electric type robbed of its obvious Fighting type.
>>58272420that’s the fear yeahi wonder if that stops finally this coming gen
>>58272438I keep forgetting it’s not part fighting type
it would have made for a good mid-game mon in alola
>>58270889Bruh they haven't STOPPED
>>58272202god i'm so glad gen 9 went a little less hard on that, gay duck is a dancer but its mostly just a funny dack, meowscarada is a magician but it's mostly a cat, and croc is croc
