5th Gen Official Rumours Thread

[Bluerang1]

@StratusJm: Yep, Roserade was my fav as well I had to get one in Diamond and Platinum. I've always liked Roselia but seeing Roserade changed everything ^__^ Look on the Favourite Sinnoh Pokemon thread on the DPPt section, you'll see I said Roserade.

I also like Heracross and Skarmory as they are but if they get evos, I hope they'll be as awesome as Roserade :)

 

[Abyssumi]

... GRANBULL. it has been proven to be the most forgotten pokemon. and hey wait. isnt there already a thread for this? Old Pokemon, New Evolutions. i believe it was called. so take it over there.

nope this is the official rumours thread but there doesnt appear to be any new rumours so we are discussing this instead :)

oh no im fairly sure neither of them will get evos sorry! ya see back in the third gen roselia was NU but skarmony and heracross are OU and as far as i know an OU pokemon has never gotten an evo before but maybe if their popularity slides ALOT they will get evos but not this gen :(

and i find it hard to believe anything could be as awesome as roserade :)

Pachirisu does need an evolution it has horrible stats, speed is it's only good stat.

very true. flying electric squirell ftw!

 

[rocky505]

Pachirisu learns great moves it just needs an evolution to fit in with my and my posse.

This isn't exactly a rumor, but when exactly is the Master Document coming out. I know August, but any word on a specific date?

It is expected to leak around the 8th or 9th and it is officially released on the 11th.

 

[Luck]

This, even though it's already been answered. That and pachirisu...idk it's useless enough as it is and doesn't really need a pre-evo, imo. :(

The poor thing can barely fight by itself. Giving Pachirisu a pre-evolution would be like giving Bonsly a pre-evolution.

 

[rocky505]

IDK Sudowoodo's sucker punch can hurt.

 

[rocky505]

Unless sucker punch as STAB and/or Swords Dance, it sucks. Sudowoodo would take a lot of work to set up and it'll probably get KO'ed before it even has the chance to do just that.

Pass it a sub and some SD ups and it'll hurt.

Dusclops was OU in RSE and got an evo. Rhydon was BL IIRC and also got an evo. Remember that tiers have nothing to do with GF.

Heck, even Sudowoodo can barely fight, granted that it's not in trick room or anything.

Agreed, Sudowoodo's crappy speed makes it useless. Unless it has a CS or Substitute set; and it'd still be better with TR support.

Now, Sudowoodo could use an evolution, but it's not necessary IMO. There are plenty of others who NEED an evolution; and seeing how they noticed that with Luvdisc, I think that Pokémon along the lines of Mawile, Zangoose, Seviper and Tropius are next.

Personally, I'm dying for a Chimecho evolution. It is my favorite Pokémon a Pokémon with great potential, a pretty good concept, amazing movepool but swallow BST.

I'd love to see something like this as a Sudowoodo evo:

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Speaking of Sucker punch and STAB I want a Rock/Dark evolution of Sudowoodo...though it will have a 4X weakness to fighting...

 

[rocky505]

Evolving by learning Rock throw Sudowoodo learns that too early I would've put rock tomb or rock slide instead.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Evolve up by attack? o_o

I think to evolve it should be via an event or something like idk, you go to a certain place, Sudowoodo is released from its Pokeball, it stands there and... gets watered? XD;

Or alternatively and less complicated, item. :D

 

[Astinus]

Evolving by learning Rock throw Sudowoodo learns that too early I would've put rock tomb or rock slide instead.

Seriously. Sudowoodo/Bonsly learn Rock Throw before Mimic, which is the attack necessary to evolve Bonsly to Sudowoodo. But Rock Slide, at level thirty-three, would be the better attack, since it's the stronger between Tomb and Slide.

On the flip side, I do like Nica's idea, which references back to how Sudowoodo was originally introduced in the games.

The evolution looks kind of awkward though.

And I'm not going to dig back through the thread to find who said it, but I agree with the person who said that Pokemon should get [pre-]evolutions to help them battle. That's why I would like the idea of a Sudowoodo evo, or the Luvdisc evolution.

Minezumi Evo:

It screams fire type.

We got a Normal/Water last gen, so why wouldn't we get a Normal/Fire?

 

[MistahDude]

.........Please tell me that is a fake picture, because honestly....

At least it's one of the least significant pokemon around this gen...I hope this doesn't happen to the other Pokemon, too. D:

its real. It was shown in a trailer on Oha Suta

 

[MistahDude]

This is the first Pokemon where I can say that I'm truly disappointed with. ._. But as I said, it's one of the...more insignificant ones, so yeah, I'm trying to look past this.

If its a fire pokemon I will be happy.

Fire equivalent of Bibarel anyone?

Minezumi Evo:

I love how it's a new pokemon because they stretched Minezumi by [at least] two feet.
It looks more angry with those eyes, I'm guessing it's fighting type.
