I feel you. But won't that Fighting-type make it a Lucario clone? I wouldn't care, but many others do. I agree with you though; a mixed typing would have made this more "authentic."

In my eyes, signature typings are always welcome.

Yup. Honestly, GF has to be more creative. Hopefully, it's dope in battle, though. It looks quite cool, but I don't see anything special about it. Maybe if it had some interesting backstory or something... Also, does anyone know this thing's ability?

Zeraora's ability is Volt Absorb, I think that it is pretty clever with the flavor text saying that Zeraora doesn't have an organ that generates electricity, so it has to gather electricity from outside sources. That said, it also says that Zeraora is capable of using electric current to make magnetic fields so that it can levitate, but it doesn't learn Magnet Rise or have the ability Levitate.

These really aren't very "unique" things about it. And about the flavor text from the pokedex, it also says that Gardevoir has the ability to make mini black holes, so I wouldn't be too excited about it. I really do get pissed when the dex entries make no sense. But honestly, I'll just take what they give.

it's really cute, design-wise! honestly its really aggressively-yellow colouring bothered me at first but the more i look at it the more i like it.

Like four months late a welcome but still no less of one. Very good to see it.

...it looks kinda like Lucario crossed with Renamon (Digimon).

Thanks, now I can't unsee it. XD

When I first saw it when it leaked, I didn't like it. But now I'm a fan. I don't think it's a Lucario rip-off either, I think it stands on its own.

I agree. However, I do feel that it's too reminiscent of Incineroar. The bipedal stance, the feline origins, and the way it looks? It's not a Lucario ripoff, but a freakin electric Incineroar. Not that I'm disappointed, I do like it a lot.

It's okay looking, I suppose. I don't feel too strongly about it one way or the other. :o

They always release the one the furry community will obsess over first, I've noticed.
