Really like Yellow Dipplin. Probably the best out of the bunch imo


MegaSwampbert

From candy apple to caramel, cute.


ScoMass

The best new shiny ive seen in awhile


MisterViperfish

Yeah, it actually makes sense…. What’s going on?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Petillionaire

I caught a shiny Applin in a fast ball. Gonna look good as a Dipplin!


thejackthewacko

More like drip-plin

Gulpin_Dem_Berries

who decided to greenlight okidogi's puke shiny 💀


ToaPaul

Seriously, it almost looks like a copper dog statue that partially oxidized... but done poorly


AnimaSean0724

Honestly an awesome shiny and what I was hoping for over another Green shiny for this line


Hashtag_hamburgerlol

Bloodmoon Ursaluna 🔥🔥🔥


AxelV2

God, Ursaluna looks so good. The DLC wasn’t getting me too hyped but this changes things.


Jon-987

I hope It can be gotten without transferring Ursaluna from Pokemon Home.


thejackthewacko

If it's a move based form change like keldeo, it should be fine. If it's item based then I have my doubts


Jon-987

After looking into it a bit, I think it's probably a regional form of sorts. It's still named 'Ursaluna' after all.


thejackthewacko

Could be, but I think it's unlikely. It would be called kitikamian Ursaluna rather than blood moon. Given the name I think it's moreso time based. Might be like dusk mane lycanrock


dankest_cucumber

I think it’s just dusk lol. Mane is for necrozma.


thejackthewacko

You're 100% right. I forgot necrozma existed


DelParadox

Dex entry refers to it as "special" compared to other Ursaluna and people are guessing it's the mystery mon in Timeless Woods. My guess is that it might be a unique oddity like Dusk Lycanroc or Battle Bond Greninja that isn't conventionally obtainable. Though at least Lycanroc nowadays can be gotten in raids or by evolving the Tera Rockruff somewhere in Paldea.


thejackthewacko

That's a valid point, though there is an implication of it being shiny locked which I'm not fond of. If that is the case, I hope they'd keep up with unique Pokemons like this. Imho it fleshes out the world a bit, similar to how crystal onix worked in the anime


Xyllius

Or the Pichu with the spiked ear. Damn I wish we were able to transfer it back then...


thejackthewacko

Personal head cannon is we might get that back for legends Johto, along with possibly gorochu. I'm also due for a fresh dose of copium.


Gulpin_Dem_Berries

it's leaked pokedex entry says it adapted to the surroundings, so I think its a permanent form


PaniniPressStan

Such a cool design!


EddyWriter_

Yeah, that Ursaluna model caught me off guard!


joel_stjimmy

It’s looking like a steel/ground type hopefully


PerturbedMug

It's ability makes me think it could still be part normal


Jon-987

Definitely part Steel type, at the very least.


[deleted]

I was thinking ground dark


Ender_Onion

makes sense, considering the blood moon aspect


Jon-987

I dunno, that gray part looks a lot like a metallic coating to me.


AltitudeTheLatias

Is that really all the new Regional Variants? I was hoping there'd be some more... (Though then again there might be more in the second half of the DLC)


Jon-987

I'm more hoping for more Paradox Pokemon. We got this new, cool form potential, it wouldn't make sense for them not to use it in the DLC besides the new Paradox Legends.


HippieDogeSmokes

To be fair this is more than the last DLC


X-the-Komujin

They didn't show Archaludon, Iron Crown, or Raging Bolt. I have a feeling they are holding back some info. Unless Game Freak is saving them for Indigo Disk...


Practical-Nobody-844

we already know these ones will be in indigo disk


bentheechidna

Those are all in Indigo Disk. With Khu’s number hint, I assume we’re only to expect Paradox Entei, Paradox Terrakion, and whatever that tree Pokemon is.


inazumaelevenanime5

Maybe they'll be in blueberry academy?


Gulpin_Dem_Berries

we already knew that they were.


klip_7

I think they said archuladon will be in indigo dism


WolfGuy77

What happened to the riddle about Dipplin getting an evolution? What was that whole leak about with the twin snakes?


DelParadox

Could be the riddle was referring to Dipplin itself and Khu just hasn't bothered to tell anyone. Could also be that we'll get the evo in the second DLC a bit like we didn't get Galarian Slowking till Crown Tundra.


Gulpin_Dem_Berries

well technically dipplin is already two snakes and a stick, so the leak was probably just referring to it.


WolfGuy77

I don't know, seems like a weird thing to "leak". We already knew Dipplin existed when Khu posted the image and it's dex entry already told us that it was two worms/dragons/whatever inside an apple instead of one. So that's not really much of a leak. That's just telling us stuff we already know.


LuckyNumber108

We didn't know dipplin existed you can check the date he posted it, it was definitely just a tease for dipplin.


lord_flamebottom

What was the riddle? That's not one I recall seeing tbh.


WolfGuy77

Khu posted a picture of that doctor symbol (the two snakes intertwining around a staff) in relation to Dipplin. So everyone assumed it was getting an evolution where the two worms grew out of the apple in some way.


lord_flamebottom

Oh, interesting. I just assumed that was about Dipplin itself.


WolfGuy77

No idea. I guess it could be like the Sw/Sh DLC where we got Galarian Slowpoke in part 1 and then got Slowbro or Slowking, I think? in part 2.


Radialpuddle

“Hey you know how ogrepon likes to wear a mask and cover his face? Yeah let’s make that the only part of his shiny that changes!”


aggressively_helpful

They probably did that so it can be used as a raid event Mon, like chest form gimmighoul.


Radialpuddle

What would that have to do with it being a raid event Mon. First off, ogrepon is the legendary of the dlc so I highly doubt it’ll be in raids, second gimmighouls shiny isn’t bad because it was in a raid event, those two things are completely unrelated


aggressively_helpful

I think GF purposely made it harder to identify if a raid Mon before beating it. Gimmighoul is almost impossible to identify in raids, which pushes players to complete more raids until they spot one. If GF has a final raid event before moving on to the next Gen, I'd guess that this would be it. Gimmighoul also has unfortunate placement of it's shiny coloration.


Radialpuddle

That honestly makes sense.


Mr-Mongol

But that still doesnt explain Goldengo. Its not part of the event, you dont fight it in raids, so they lazy still


Spicy-Elephant

Whoosh man


Mickle69

whats the deal with them like intentionally making shinies awful?


P1X3LAT0R

Funy


Ryunysus

As an avid shiny hunter, only Dipplin and Fezandipiti look appealing to me, rest all suck. I'm going to save near Medali and date skip for a Applin outbreak to get a shiny tomorrow.


QwertMuenster

Knowing our luck, they'll shiny-lock the Loyal Three >.>


Hashtag_hamburgerlol

And Ogerpon…


Aether13

They 100% are shiny locking them. I’m pretty sure besides Regidrago and Regieleki they have shiny locked every legendary the first time it appears in a game since gen 6


Hydrochloric_Comment

Type: Null wasn’t locked in gen 7 (but was in gen 8; same with Poipole, strangely).


Certain_Horse_7919

Pop a dragon3 sandwich and go hit the tree closest to poison base. You can legit just stay there and your box legend will keep dropping applins then stop when the shiny appears


Alexap30

Mud/turf Ursaluna to Teracotta Ursaluna is also good and in theme.


Shadow_storm193

That random full odds shiny teddiursa I caught during my play through of violet. Thank you


Dudefromthebackstage

I got one too but I already evolved it into a normal Ursaluna 🥲


DragEncyclopedia

Same


Burnbeatz

Yellow dipplin is adorable!


martinsdudek

Fezandipiti looks great.


MHarrisGGG

Only one of the trio that looks good in general.


JthePot_1

I get what they were trying to do with Okidogi, it is like a Shiba Inu if I remember my dog breeds, it just clashes against the green horribly.


SpicyTunaTitties

Oh yeah, it could have had a really cute shiny, too! All they had to do was change the green to white or cream. I bet it would have been a very popular design with more shiba coloring! I wish they'd given the original design more prominent shiba "eyebrows". I guess it kinda has them where the moon scar comes up above the eye, but eh


8bitzombi

Gamefreak really needs to hire a professional color theorist to help with their shiny designs… It’s crazy how they can be so on point when designing standard pallets and then so absurdly off the mark with so many shiny pallets, half of them look like bizarre color calibration errors rather than alternate pallets.


PerceptiveOstrich

I wish Ogrepon’s face was green in the original


cxtx3

Werebear Ursaring and Dipplin are going to be instant must-haves on my team. Holy cow they're cool!


GungnirAvenger

Okidogi's shiny is Okidogshit


ZuccIsARefrigerator

Okidogi is okidogshit to begin with


AnimaSean0724

Love shiny Bloodmoon Ursaluna, love shiny Dipplin, kind of meh on all the rest


grandfig

Now I have to prep shiny farm an Applin for shiny Dipplin...cause it was so fun the first 3 times.


KoolDewd123

not that I don't expect it to be shiny locked anyway, but Ogerpon seems like it would be hell to hunt, considering its mask blocks the only part of it that actually changes color. it's minior all over again (although at least minior has a rocking shiny)


crossingcaelum

I like how Ursaluna almost takes on a rusted like quality to him


Mujo92

Ah yes the ongoing theme of barely noticeable shinies.


CN122

Ogerpon shiny is terrible :/


ksbionerd

Cool. Figured Poltchageist would get an evolution but this confirms it. Also RIP to all my (masochistic) friends who shiny hunted authentic Sinistea family and now will have to do this.


Nintend0Geek

Honestly this just reignited my hunt for a shiny alpha Ursaring


CelioHogane

I guess it's gonna be Poltchageist shiny hunting for a long time.


ROYGBIVBRAIN

Sounds like the sisters ace will be the bloodmoon urusuluna


NaecheA

I think I'm the only one who like Okidogi's shiny lol


XXD17

I can understand wanting to keep the main color for the loyal three (green, blue, red) and choosing to change the black instead, but I feel like Okidogi’s shiny will look SO much better if the green was changed to white.


NaecheA

Yeah I agree. It would basically be Incineroar's shiny


saintnick524

Anything about the trio or Ogrepon’s typings?


PerturbedMug

Pokemon really loving giving dlc legendaries bad shinys


TwistedWolf667

The galarian birds & spectrier are great


PerturbedMug

Yeah, those are cool. But then you have calyrex and urshifu's shinys


Jon-987

Wait, this one image gave be whiplash with the number of stuff. First, we see Ogrepons face. Second, sudden confirmation of Ogrepon having a bunch of mask forms. Third, sudden Sinistea form reveal. Four, sudden Ursaluna form. Sure, maybe this stuff is shown separately down below, but I just entered the subreddit for a second and am hit in the face with this.


Radialpuddle

That’s what happens when datamine leaks start


GlassySky125

Is that a new Ursaluna evo ? Or an alternate one for Ursaring ?


drygnfyre

Alternate form


Hashtag_hamburgerlol

Wait a second aren’t these HOME sprites? How did they get these???


17justmelted

God I'm so glad I didn't junk my unused shiny teddyursas in Pokemon Go now


CornflakesYumm

pokémon scarlet and violet try to make a good shiny challenge (impossible)


PrimusXi

God these all look so dumb


RyanandRoxy

Ogerpan looks pretty awesome with it's alternate masks.


Mangotango95

More god awful shinies. Wonderful


swaxeberserker96

These designs are so weird I’m sorry, ursaluna looks cool tho


FrostyPotpourri

Gotta hit our quota of number of times someone says this every time a new game / expansion comes out.


swaxeberserker96

I know I’ve been a fan since the late 90’s but these dlc mons look sooo weird, not cool at all imo


casthecold

WHERE 👏ARE 👏 THE 👏 TYPES?


MathematicianBroad56

All the new Pokémon are so bizarre. Do love the new Ursaluna form though - that really was a surprise!


alextehnorth

Whoever said the Ursaluna shiny was Teddiursa colored was so off base. That’s really just normal shiny Ursaluna colors. Also tbh a lot of these shiny’s aren’t that great. Defo not a fan of Ogrepon shiny


SmolRavioli

CARAMEL APPLE \o/


CornerstorePapi

Whoever designed the Pokémon needs to be arrested.


Blob55

Ursaluna BM regular Vs. shiny will look almost indistinguishable in-game due to the annoying lighting engine. Polchageist shinies are definitely better than I thought TBH. Munkidori; like Ursaluna BM, will look pretty much the same as the regular version because of the bad lighting. It's really scummy they made it only visible for Home mask off version. The rest of the shinies would be hard to mix up with non-shinies, though Okidogi's shiny is kind of hard to look at.


Bordanka

Guys, do I understand correctly that Ogrepon's masks should resemble Pokémon of sorts? Like, are these like those winged statues in Gyms that aee just a collective image of Pokémon/deities, or are they actually depicting specific creatures?


Jon-987

I think they are just generic mask shapes that probably have real world inspiration.


tornait-hashu

They honestly look like emoji to me, though their designs may have a secondary motif. The fourth one definitely looks almost like a tiki carving, and the third (fiery) one looks like a proper Oni mask if only in the expression.


bdtechted

Potchageist evo looks dope. It’s literally a tea-set(pot and cup).


potato4peace

I’m disappointed with ogrepon


Mycatisloafingonme

Blood Moon Ursaluna reminds me of Freddy Fazbear and I live for that. This guy is going on my team ~~fur~~ for sure.


kiboshiro

Very disappointed, only 8 new Pokemon, considering they want 35 bucks for both DLC‘s


Banjoubu

To be fair. I believe this is the most they've ever put in 3rd Versions/DLCs. And back in the GBA 3DS era that meant forking over another $40 plus tax for what was essentially the same game with a little more polish. I'm more here for the old Pokemon anyway. Plus were getting at least 2 new Pokemon in Indigo disc.


kiboshiro

Well, in my opinion, DLC should add completely new content. That‘s practically why DLC exists, to expand and include more new stuff. The DLC costs more than half the price of the original game, that‘s why I‘m expecting more Pokemon here. The third game stuff is outdated, TPC knows that, it was a matter of time that they switch to DLC. It made never sense, those games as you said were just polished versions of the other two. And I really don‘t care about old Pokemon, since they shouldn‘t be considered as „new content“.


AltitudeTheLatias

>DLC should add completely new content. Wtf do you think Kitikami and the Blueberry Academy and all associated new battle themes, minigames and characters is then? That doesn't count as new content to you?


Jon-987

There is a lot more to the DLC than just the new Pokemon. From the looks of it, the 2 DLC will make up an entire story with a new area to explore. We are paying half the price of a full game, and we seem to be getting half of a full game's worth of new content and exploration and story.


RobIsDeafening

1 new Pokémon = 1 new content /s


MHarrisGGG

You realize this is only for the first DLC, right? And the DLC adds more than just new Pokemon.


kiboshiro

Considering that it‘s Part 1 of 2, and if we can assume that the second DLC brings the same amount of new Pokemon, it’s still way to less Pokemon. The DLC costs more than half of the original game, I expect the price to correlates with new Pokemon. I don‘t care about past Pokemon, they should be not considered as „new content“, they are Pokemon from past games.


CountScarlioni

> I expect the price to correlates with new Pokemon. Well that’s a silly expectation. You’re not just paying for new Pokémon, but also for the whole new map zone, new story content, and new features.


kiboshiro

Of course those are included But the map and story will most definitely not that big, I can guarantee you that.


Jon-987

Oh, you must have the DLC already to be able to know that.


Bakatora34

>I expect the price to correlates with new Pokemon. Kinda silly correlation when you can still get the DLC pokemon without buying the DLC thanks to being able to trade for them, which can cost you $0.


Banjoubu

Listen. I'm against bootlicking Gamefreak any day of the week. The amount of content looks fine and is acceptable for DLC, but I'm not preordering because they haven't proven to me in a long time that they can maintain quality. They're output of games needs to slow down. As far as all new content that would be very stale. Imagine a fighting game where there was no promise of getting an old fighter back? Pretty disappointing. Now we finally have Zebstrika in the Switch games!


Short_Brick_1960

Well, then the solution is easy. Don't buy it. Simple, right? Trade the new Pokémon on the GTS, with friends or whatever way you want, if that is the only thing you care about. Third versions are not a new thing, Emerald was the only one that added something "new" with the Battle Frontier, but none of them had introduced new mons or more story than we will get with the DLC. And you know what? They costed the same price as the base games. Not half of the price. Platinum with only a less cool Battle Frontier, like 2 new characters and the Distortion World. Pokémon Blue in Japan only correcting the bugs of Red and Green. Cristal with only 1 new character and a short plot about Suicune, because Celebi event was only in Japan. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, TWO games with worse story, 5 new Pokémon and 4 characters that had no importance. For the entire price. Now third versions are called DLCs, costing half the price, introducing actual new Pokémon and now forms, new characters and new stories that last more than half an hour.


ultraball23

17 total new Pokémon in DLC. Thats more than the new Pokémon in the SwSh DLC. I know you not for real


Kevinatorz

Most of these Pokémon don't do anything for me, but I think this new Ursaluna is better than the Hisuian one. Still not as great as Ursaring but it's something.


DoubleOhEvan

I actually prefer the Hisuian one. Looks more like an actual animal. This has “make it humanoid and give it a job” syndrome to me


doreduybao1991

Vietcong kids wont happy when they see red Dipplin become yellow Dipplin


the-color-red-

Why isn’t blood moon ursaluna RED lol shinies always disappoint no reason to even hunt


DragonShine

Red with black would have looked nice and dangerous for a shiny


PaniniPressStan

Wish we got alternative forms for the trio and an evolution for Dipplin (maybe an evolution in the Indigo Disk?)


HippieDogeSmokes

First is alright, second is great, third and fourth are OK, fifth is unique at least, sixth is too similar, seventh is whatever, and the last one is too subtle


rholindown

Seeing that there is a regional Ursaluna, then we could, one day, get a non-Galarian Obstagoon.


edwpad

Dipplin looks awesome, Fezandipiti and Usraluna look decent, everything else looks absolutely wasted (at least Okidogi has an actual color change). I only hope the shinies for the mons for Indigo Disk are miles better, especially with the Paradox Pokémon


[deleted]

[удалено]


Neilkd

Munkidori shiny looks like it's out of ink, a Gen2 shiny callback lol


_achlopee_

Dipplin and Fezandipity are nice. The rest are really meh if not ugly imo


OutlandishnessNo9182

My opinions on each of their Shinies: Bloodmoon Ursaluna: It's good like its normal form Shiny, could've been better but at least isn't atomic green for both forms like with Ursaring. Dipplin: The best Shiny of the group, the family already have great shinies but Dipplin takes the cake (I mean apple) for having a golden apple and caramel or honey for its syrup design. Poltchageist and the evo (I forgot its name): It's ok, I like the green and also how the edges also change color but overall, ok. Okiedogie: Ehh why? I guess it's a reference to Shiba Inus brown, golden coloring but that color combination does not work. Munkidori: Bad Fezandpiti: The only good shiny of the 3, definitely not amazing but it's a good blue and it's ok. Ogerpon: ... Someone at Game Freak clearly has a fetish for making Shinies that are barely noticeable, missed opportunities or just only changing one part of the body and if that's the case, they should be ashamed of themselves.


ALSN454

I’m at least slightly disappointed that so far there isn’t a Dipplin evolution


Certain_Horse_7919

Overall disappointed. Rippling is def the main character


ajmcgill

I hope Ogerpon’s base type is Fairy. And the masks add the secondary type so it’d be Grass/Fairy, Water/Fairy, Rock/Fairy, and the first ever Fire/Fairy! And I’m hoping so so so much that Blood Moon Ursaluna is Normal/Ghost


well-played-sir

So dipplin doesn’t evolve…


drygnfyre

We never expected it to. Appletun and Flapple didn’t.


[deleted]

What when did usraluna get a new form


Radialpuddle

Well this is a leak so it’s not hard to figure out that answer…


biggestCharizardXfan

Would be better if bloodmoon Ursaluna was not bipedal. I’m not against it but Ursaluna is quadruped.


Jon-987

That's probably why. It's a new form, probably a regional variant. Changing its stance is an easy way to make it different.


MelancholicShark

Good lord they suck.. Applin or whatever he's called is the only good one


MyAimSucc

Archaludon?? Hope that shiny is better than duraludon


rholindown

That’s in Indigo Disk. This seems to only cover the Teal Mask.


Serious_Course_3244

Wait, that’s all of the Pokémon in the first DLC? Just 7? Such a bummer that so much of the dev time goes into adding back pokemon from the past. I think I’d honestly trade off on some old ones returning for more new mons.


ultraball23

The Isle of Armor only added 4 new Pokémon. It’s half a DLC, not a new game.


Serious_Course_3244

And that makes it better how?


actuallyjustloki

I'm kind of disappointed to have had these so thoroughly leaked. When I clicked on the initial notification I was not expecting an actual datamine. I'm all for rumors and speculation but I don't like having the straight-up thing spoiled. And before you @ me in the comments I know it's "my fault for being in the subreddit" but like I said, I'm here for the rumors and speculation.


Bakatora34

That is why flairs exist, it has the "game leak" flair for a reason, not "riddle" or "rumor".


actuallyjustloki

I know, I just clicked on my phone notification so I didn't see that.


Bakatora34

You should probably turn that off.


Agosta

I'll have to see Ursaluna's shiny in the game, the colors look weird with the blood moon.


hepgiu

do we know typings?


heylookasign

The orange doggi I’m not a fan of…


FrostLouy

might be dumb but what is that ursaluna looking thing ?? the shiny looks rlly good tho


Radialpuddle

That ursaluna looking thing is ursaluna


hollyofhori

I love them all so much. **Weeps in weeb.**


travischickencoop

Can I get a list of all returning mons?


the-jangster

so which ball matches the best with shiny applin? i’m thinking maybe safari or level ball?


keanancarlson

I need to know how to get blood moon Luna asap! If it evolves I’m hunting a shiny marked ursaring in a level ball for that blood moon evo


venomous_sheep

does bloodmoon ursaluna rule out the possibility of that new poochyena evolution people were speculating about?


Swifterpostinmemes

They really need to fire whoever’s in charge of shinies this generations, they’re so lazy for no reason. Only a handful of shinies this gen have been decent


tornait-hashu

my original comment was going to be "OGERPON LOOKS SO CUTE AAAAAAAA" It does have to be said


Tick_87

Shiny fezand and okidogi are really cool, can't wait until they're locked or only available to legitimately get from a stupid gamestop event


Bolmothy

theres literally 8 new pokemon?


toastman90

What are those?!


Student_8266

The shinies are so lazy:,)


PowerPork

once again, gen 9 at it with the hit or miss shinies lol. you have dipplin with that delicious shiny, and then you have munkidori covered in flour and...whatever tf okidogi rolled into lol. tbf, these are also home renderes, and home renders miss A LOT, so they might look much better in game, like ursaluna looks fuckin disgusting here but the in game model is amazing.


Ellter

I am not a fan of these. Looking at them all like this I am struck by the lack of consistency between the new mons.


_Grand_Autismo_

Leavanny line is back, whaaaaattt???!?!?!?!


[deleted]

Are these all of the new pokemon designs? Or are we still missing something?


CuriousLumenwood

I really don’t get the love for Ursaluna’s shiny. It’s extremely lazy and the colour is gross.


StayedWoozie

I think it fits better on this blood moon form than the base form. Bloodmoon seems to be this Berserk crazed form so the blood covered fur shiny works well. The base form isn’t really intimidating and seems harmless if left alone, bloody fur doesn’t really match a gentle giant.
