[thedarkdragon11]

There's 2 more G-Max forms for 2 more Gen. 8 debutante...

I love Toxils.. so much.. Toxicity will be on my team with Luxray once he is confirmed. I dont mind Frosmoth or the big elephant, too.

I'm afraid that, as it currently stands, Luxray isn't making it into Galar. Which sucks, as I like the Shinx line too.

I'm calling fake on those leaks, they just don't look real at all.

 

[Louise28]

I have seen these before to me there do not look real, but who knows only time will tell

 

[Palamon]

Alright, for the first day I was skeptical, but.

Yeah, these are...definitely real.

Nintendo came and DMCAed a lot of the leakers. I'm pretty convinced. These are real. The leak accounts got suspended, too, so...at this point, I'm pretty convinced these leaks aren't fake anymore. But that's just my opinion on the matter.

 

[Marnie]

They are legit. Denial is pretty common when a new Pokémon game is leaked, I think we all remember people claiming Greninja was a fake.

Looks like there's no new eeveelutions...

Assuming all the eeveelutions are together in the dex, and they are in order of their first appearance, the one after Glaceon should be Sylveon and then there's no more room for new ones.
Sad.

That makes no sense, since this is generation 8 we're talking about, an even numbered generation, why would Gamefreak want to troll us so badly?

Still i hope they are as DLC thought

 

[Bellsprout]

I will be flying my flag at half staff come the release

 

[Nah]

The whole "we get a new Eeveelution on even numbered gens" thing might not be a real tradition at Game Freak, or at least not one they feel like continuing to uphold anymore

But chances are more will come along someday, as the Eevee line is fairly popular and Eevee's whole thing is having a gazillion evolutions, so it'd be weird if they never included an Eeveelution for all the types

 

[thedarkdragon11]

Still no signs of G-Max Applin?

The apple dragon?
There was a leaked photo of it's G Max albeit quite blurry.

Yes... I think the image is only for Flapple, the one for Appletun is still nowhere to be found...

Hmm i geuss, then again i will still be an optimist and hope for a new eeveelution in sword/shield😛

 

[Marnie]

Eevee got his own Dynamax form and seem to have joined Pikachu as a mascot since Let's Go games. The point of Eevee is to evolve though.

 

[Marnie]

Still no signs of G-Max Applin?

Gigantamax Flapple/Appletun :

Spoiler:

Gigantamax Gengar :

Spoiler:

 

[Palamon]

So... I'm guessing the Applin is a branched evolution, then? I saw a version exclusive leak about it earlier this week and have been confused about it for awhile.

Your guess is correct and according to what we saw in the guide they both share the same Gigantamax.

Sword = Applin > Flapple
Shield = Applin > Appletun

Gigantamax Flapple/Appletun :

Spoiler:

Gigantamax Gengar :

Spoiler:

It breaks my heart to know how lazy they had become to have 2 different species sharing exactly the same temporary evolution... 😡

And then there's Gengar given another temporary evolution...

I wonder if Galarian Darmanitan has Zen form counterpart...

 

[colours]

why does gengar look like a giant clone of pallossand lol @_@
