Yeah sorry the Chinese translation is lacking.

>>59092718
This translation is God awful but it sounds like:

>Excadrill gets a power boost to "drilling" moves (so yet another move category)
>Pyroar gets a rebranded Chlorophyll
>Scovillain gets rebranded Parental Bond that hits 3x but only for certain attacks

All seem interesting... If this is legitimate, I wonder if most of the new megas are getting new abilities considering we got two new ones for the starters

>>59092718
source: my ass

>>59093311
>Drill Run becomes preferable to EQ as a single target nuke
>...but it doesn't learn any other "drilling" type moves

>Pyroar now gets double Speed in sun
>...but it's still fucking Pyroar

>Scovillain can break subs and sashes just using one of its regular STAB options at no extra cost and may be able to pick up KOs with Flamethrower or one shot things it shouldn't with Overheat
>...but it still has a really shallow movepool otherwise

>>59092718
Inchresting. How will this affect WiWa?

>>59093311
>"drilling" moves
isn't drill run like the only one?

>>59093360
Drill peck and Horn Drill.

I was guessing the drill ability might let you break through Protect. Some of the comments in the thread seemed to be guessing something similar.
>>59093316
They correctly leaked the abilities that were revealed today

When was all this first posted yellow boy?

>>59092718
>Scovillain actually gets a fanfic level ability down to the name
I thought we were just joking about the Super Chlorophyll or Pepper-That-Burns-The-Mouth shit, are they actually giving the fucker an actual signature ability?

Oh yeah, Hyper Drill.

That would be really fucking cool if Hyper Drill received some distribution.

>>59093332
>>Drill Run becomes preferable to EQ as a single target nuke

theyll give it hyper drill

These are just guesses based on their names

>>59093360
probably also
>rapid spin

and Drill Peck and Hyper Drill but it doesn't learn those

>>59093555
It would be so fitting if Excadrill immediately stole Dudunsparce's only semi-noteworthy gimmick and did it better. Also I feel like it would be thematic, since it feels like a logical extension/upgrade of Exca Mold Breaker's ability to just hit shit regardless.

I found this translation in the wild

Where the fuck is Scolipede>>59095233

>>59095266
Scolipede is probably not in Champions yet. Going by the trailers, the current meta seems to just be SV.

>>59095277
>Another year of incineroar + Mega staraptor
lol

>>59095277
What about Dragonite?

>>59095307
Dragonite is in SV.

>>59095307
Multiscale

>>59095233
>contrary crab
Plsssss

>>59095309
So what's its ability?
Drampa wasn't in SV, either.

>>59095315
>use ice hammer to boost speed
>still can't outspeed anything
>die

>Tough Claws Mega Golisopod
PLEASE GOD PLEASE

>>59095326
>Use close combat to boost both defenses
>Remember ice types don't resist shit
>Die

>>59095337
Tell smogshit to unban Baxcalibur then.

>>59095337
Defiant is preferable, I guess. Contrary would only really help if they decided to give Superpower to Staraptor. Assuming they really share an ability.

Burn/Poison HP drain sounds really fun but Scovillain is like the shittiest mon to put it on.
In hindsight it's surprising that it doesn't have a guaranteed burn signature move.

>>59095337
He got 107 spdef, 122 def, and 97 hp. He’ll tank bro

>>59095353
Conceptually, Defiant makes more sense on Staraptor, but I could see Crabomniable with Contrary.
Remember Crab's whole theme is that it's a Crabrawler that wandered into the wrong habitat and had to adapt.

>>59095368
You think it'll make Burn act like Toxic?

>>59095380
Thought it drained the HP of burned mons.

>>59095377
i'd argue contrary makes more thematic sense for a pirate bird like mega staraptor

>>59095374
Also pair Mega Crab with Ninetales-Alola and you’ve got something that can brainlessly Ice Hammer and Superpower spam its way to wins.

>>59095233
Would've preferred Water Bubble for Golisopod, but i knew that was just a fever dream.

>>59095458
>ice hammer
HE GONNA TRICK ROOM THEN SPEED UP OUT OF IT NOOO MULTISCALE SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEE

>>59095458
Mega Crab has 33 speed. It's going to need to use Ice Hammer 3 times before it starts seeing results.

>>59095387
Oh, like a Leech Life effect? Interesting idea, bit weird on a mega of all things

>>59095494
the true slow king

>>59092718
https://twitter.com/famitsu/status/2036805748798456036
Garchomp Z gets Multiscale.

>>59095624
that’s a bad twitter translation

>>59095624
No it does not.

>>59095624
That's Dragonite.

>>59095624
he will get speed boost

>>59097003
Zero Aura already is getting that

>>59095233
>drampa gets drizzle
literally exactly what i wanted, too good to be true so it won't happen. if it did it would be the best thing ever though

>>59097036
The leak already predicted Snow Warning for M-Froslass and a new ability for M-Feraligatr

>>59097130
Snow Warning was the most obvious ability for Froslass and many people predicted Feraligatr getting a Dragon’s Maw (which is pretty close otherwise)

>>59095233
Isn't Clefable getting fucked by being Flying type here.

>>59092718
why didnt scovillain just get an evolution

>>59097036
It's 100% legit, they got feraligatr and froslass ability correctly.
Also according to mega drampa's dex entry it can manipulate the atmosphere to summon storms. Drizzle look pretty certain.

>>59097503
>It's 100% legit, they got feraligatr and froslass ability correctly.
All they said for Feraligatr was that it was getting a new ability, not what ability it would get.
And Froslass getting Snow Warning was a fairly safe guess.

>>59093682
That is some bullshit too. It seems like a really lazy ability for it to get and doesn't really match the lore at all. I was really hoping it would get an autogravity ability or something similarly wacky. Even Aerialate would have been more interesting than just giving it a terrain ability that doesn't even really help it out

>>59097473
...that's actually a good point wtf

>>59095374
It has almost exactly Dusk Mane Necrozma's bulk and damage output

>>59093360
>>59093412
>>59093657
>>59094559
Drill Peck would actually be some helpful coverage

>>59097473
>>59098056
Fucked but not THAT fucked.
The only thing that Clefable loses out on by being a flyer is the protection from volatile status conditions. And maaaybe the option to use a seed for a SpDef boost.

>>59098043
What if the leaker confused Misty Terrain and Gravity?

>>59098185
anon how would it use misty seed if it's holding the mega stone

>>59098204
Yeah, ignore.

>>59098188
What if terrain simply affects flying mons now?

>>59095233
>Defiant staraptor
Please no..
It's stats already suck.. This ability is worse than reckless

Contrary would be amazing but no way they give it that, that's only given to meme pokemon

>>59095233
>Prankster
I'm 300% sure its going to be mega launcher.

>>59098392
I think they could make it so Terrain affects Grass/Electric/Fairy/Psychic Pokémon regardless of grounded status. I think it would be a bit relevant since Pokémon like Rotom and Vikavolt exist, learn moves like Electric Terrain and Rising Voltage but don't actually benefit from its effects.

>>59095233
disappointed M-Glimmora isn't getting Merciless, it even had an excuse, it looks like a starfish

>>59095233
Electric Surge has to be for Raichu Y right? Raichu X is probably getting a new ability with that Volt Tackle boost it gets in ZA.

So Pax East is today, so maybe a chance of some new Mega abilities being discovered

>>59098504
Defiant is one of the best VGC abilities Staraptor will suck because of stats only

>>59099074
Nice

I'm skeptical of any leak that says Drampa gets Drizzle, what would be the purpose gameplay wise? It relies on Fire moves to hit steel types, doesn't benefit much from boosted water moves or Thunder, and already resists Fire. It would mostly be for support which is weird for an offensive mega.

>>59099260
Its base form already kinda looked like clouds, and its mega even moreso. The base form had Cloud Nine as a hidden ability, which implies it has some inherent control over the weather. It's also one of the very few non-flying types to get access to Hurricane.
They had no better idea for a weather-setting mega, rain was the last one they needed.

>>59099279
I mean sure it would make some sense lore-wise, but mega evolutions tend to have some focus on them actually being somewhat decent or at the very least having abilities that compliment the rest of the Pokémon’s kit in some way.

>>59099292
You think that, then they make Garchomp Z a special attacking mono-dragon.

>>59099260
>what would be the purpose gameplay wise?
Thunder, Hurricane and a stronger Surf/Hydro Pump.

>>59099260
It has Earth Power, it'll be fine. Seriously, this thing has a ridiculously good movepool, probably from a being both Normal and Dragon.

Don't get your hopes up, this is probably the same demo we just got previews from which had no other new mega stones.

>>59099439
>Infernape confirmed
I'm just going to assume all the starters final evos are in

>>59099349
It also has Focus Blast.

>>59099084
Staraptor was never going to be a VGC mon, stats aside.The best utility it has is tailwind and everyone learns that
Defient is near useless on it in a singles format. It's slower and doing less damage than a scarfed reckless one.

>>59095477
Anythings better than what he has now

what ability does my sushi get

>>59100113
Tough Claws is the closest thing to perfect after Water Bubble or something else that neutralizes its fire weakness.

I was trying to look online and see if there was anywhere people were actually listing or finding all the new stuff from pax, if there is any and I don’t even know where to look. Serebii’s forums are dead, smogon doesn’t seem to have a thread. Do people just post on reddit and twitter now?

>>59099260
Thunder, Hydro Pump, and Hurricane, bigger disappointment is that it isn't Dragon/Electric but I guess with 160 spa it doesn't really need the STAB. Still a fantastic ability for it in Kyogreless formats, it's probably the best rain setter now

>>59093311
>>Scovillain gets rebranded Parental Bond that hits 3x but only for certain attacks
if that's true going for any move that can burn would be deadly
