thoughts on marshadow

Well, it's supposedly has a unique typing and since Dark/Psychic is already a thing it probably isn't that.
It could be Dark/Fairy though. And it kind of fits its design.
 
Maybe it'll be a Steel and Ghost type?
Combination of both mascots' typing!
It's also wearing what seems to be a ghastly helmet?

Steel/Ghost is already used by other Pokemon tho.

Well well, I know, and then?
It's just a rumour that it "supposedly has a unique typing", not definitely have one.
This is a thread we can speculate, instead of telling others you disagreed with their opinions, maybe you can air your own, instead.

From the very limited knowledge that we have (its model, basically), I can only really assume that it's a "base form" of some sort, if that makes sense. Although... that probably would've been revealed along with the rest of the leaks, but I feel like Marshadow has a real body somehow as a form? :s That's about the best I can come up with.

Sounds promising!
It looks a bit too different from the 2 mascots tbh, and really, I think the sizing is pretty much the same as the leaks of the "smaller" mascots, too.
Maybe like Hoopa, it'll turn into a bigger, more deadly Pokemon.
 
I feel like it's just going to be this gen's mythical pokemon like meleotta and diancie before it, with Zygarde fulfilling the role of the third part of the main legendaries
 
Honestly I saw this concept art for Marshadow somewhere online and thought it looked super epic:

But idk why I expected something like this. Every generation we get a pixie-like Pokemon so I guess Marshadow is this gen's. It looks a lot like Castform, though, and I dunno. Maybe we could have had another smaller pixie legendary and something epic like Marshadow above?
 
Honestly, I am kind of disappointed? I was hoping for a scorpion-like creature to tie in with the alchemy themed legendaries, especially since there is a chimera in alchemy with the head of a lion, wings of a bat, and a scorpion tail. What "Marshadow" looks like is an event legandary that will be forgotten in competitive play. :x
 
I think it's gonna be Psychic/Ghost.
 
A mystery still, but I hope it answers the Strange Souvenir conundrum. I mean it does have a bit of semblance to a tiki. It's looking like a fire type though or possibly something else
 
I can't say anything about this guy since we only know its sprite and nothing else. I hope it is important to the story somehow... I don't want Marshadow to be like XY's Zygarde :/
 
I believe I saw that it comes after Magearna in the Pok?dex which means it's a Mythical Pok?mon. I find it comically ironic that so many fake leaks almost sort of hinged around the idea that Marshadow was going to be this epic legendary with a bizarre Type and act to round out a trio with Lunala and Solgaleo.

I feel if there was another forme to this guy, the dataminers would have found it, just like they found both forms of Wishiwashi and all forms of Oricorio. With this in mind, I feel Marshadow will simply be like our more recent Mythical Pok?mon, which only sport a backstory which serves to promote a movie rather than have any sort of impact in-game.

As for its Type, since I'm not too impressed by the design, I'm fairly indifferent to what it turns out to be.

iirc, Hoopa-Unbound wasn't revealed until ORAS's datamine, so it's still entirely possible that it'll still get some crazy big form, even if it currently isn't in the game. I do agree that its only significance will be on par with other Mythical Pokemon in that it's not story-relevant at all, and will only be movie-relevant. Alternate formes have been pretty popular among legendaries since Platinum Version so I really wouldn't be surprised at all if Marshadow has more going for it in the future.

That's a good point. But even if it gets a new forme in the future, it will still be stuck in this appearance for the entirety of SM. So I guess it's likely to not get its movie until it receives its upgraded form?
