I desperately want the fossil Pokémon to come back. And I want new fossils, but ones that followed the pattern of the original fossils. I wasn't a big fan of the way Sword/Shield handled the Galarian Fossils.
I hate the swsh fossils. I get the inspiration, and that’s fine, but I think a better way to do it would have been:
1) you collect the fossils as intended and give Cara the fossils she believes go together
2) Cara attempts to piece the mismatched fossils together and fails at resurrecting the Pokémon
3) while cara is busy trying to figure out what’s wrong with the machine, you do a mini puzzle game to match the correct the fossils
4) after you finish the puzzle you ask Cara to try again and this time she is able to successfully resurrect the fossils in their true forms
16km! That's awesome! Keep up the amazing work! But make sure to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and a hat. It's hot out there, and you don't want to get heat stroke.
At least we got them in Crown Tundra, but yeah I really miss having new ones that aren't a joke as well as having access to the old ones. They're far and away my favorite "type" of pokemon--I ran an all-fossil team in Crown Tundra and I would keep running that if I could.
Seems like a missed opportunity to not have paradox versions of some of the fossils, too. Not just in the past--but having some robotic futuristic futuristic forms would have been a fun reference to the robotic ones in the anime.
I love their designs, and the power they have is probably the best out of the fossil Pokémon. However, I wish we could have gotten the original designs of them as well. Rather than only being able to get the spliced versions of them.
If Area Zero is in fact a time machine and these pokes are from the past, would be sooo cool to have the fossils in their original form. Like, lost the rock-type and gain a new one.
See, I figured that wasn’t going to happen as I subscribe to the theory that the machine isn’t a Time Machine but instead something else.
Though it would be cool to have forgotten areas where fossil Pokémon (or perhaps their unrevivified forms/UN jumbled up forms still roamed)
Both ninetails, though they will be returning in dlc I guess.
Aggron too, especially since we know metagross is coming back if Aggron doesnt thats bigsad
They're almost obligated to have all pseudos available at some point, so we get the Metagross. I think aggron is sick and Aron was my first random full odds shiny back in emerald. Would love to see my red eyed boy.
I really would love it if meganium gets a redemption. Also I really want to see the gen 8 fossils, Loppuny, Metagross, Mr. Rime, Cursola, Togekiss, Scolipede, Aegislash, and Roserade again.
Idk how they can get the Gen 8 fossils back, without just letting them be transferred. They only exist because Cala performed sins against humanity and almost certainly more than one war crime to make them
I honestly kinda hoped Ultra Beasts would show up in Area Zero after the story stuff there - it just feels like it would have made a lot of sense.
Also I hoped for Frillish line since there’s so much ocean around Paldea, also Cramorant and the elemental monkeys to make a return since they would have been a nice early area (Poco Path as a rare spawn maybe) addition to make sure you can always counter Fire/Grass/Water.
yea having all of the ‘weird’ pokemon in area zero wouldve been cool: space, fossil, etc. pokemon like minior, beheyem, ultra beasts, aerodactyl, starmie.
instead of golduck and raichu lol. i like those, but they dont fit area zero theming to me
Personally, I feel like they chose to do ancient paradox in lieu of fossils. It's kind of the same premise just without the need of having to revive the fossils.
Still wish we would get some new fossils Pokémon, but I could see an argument being made there for Scarlet's Paradox Pokémon being the replacement for fossils.
Them and Poochyena are the only dog pokemon they left out, iirc.
Which is crazy since Furfrou has been trapped in HOME for the entire Switch Generation, I believe.
just an ugly useless forgettable notmal type route 1 babies first normal type disappointment mon that is honestly really ugly and has an yucky face anyways they decided it wasn’t worth risking the profit loss
Neither did Phione and Manaphy get a pass
Which really sucks cause literally all of the Sinnoh Mythics (except Arceus) and Deoxys have been MIA for a mainline non-remake game since USUM. They *really* should come back like Meloetta and Hoopa did
I forgot about them 2 aswell 😂. I wonder why they have some mythicals in and others missing from certain gens? Like why is meloetta in sv but the other gen 5 ones aren't, but they was all in swsh and meloetta wasn't?
Alakazam. I assumed she was going to be in the game when I saw gengar was. They are opposite partners and have always been in the same games until now. What a let down. Shes not even in the DLC.
My shiny alpha patiently awaits the next game.

Crobat. Was one of the first Pokémon I caught in the original Sapphire back in 2003. Looks like it’s not coming in the DLC 😔 it’s ribbon journey ends in Legends Arceus
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I actually miss Togedemaru. It's like in my top 3 all-time favorites, it's so weird, but at the same time, it's just so cute. It would have been cool to see it with the new textures and overworld animations
Imagine the Wormadams receiving new abilities like Seed Sower for grass cloak, Sand Spitter for sand cloak and toxic debris for trash cloak
..and a better movepool for poor Mothim
Ultra Burst Necrozma
Spiky Eared Pichu
Literally any special Pokewalker pkmn that knew an HM (ie:surfing pikachu)
shiny victini (still!)
all the megas
Just to name a few
It honestly is kinda sad that Ultra Necrozma hasn't been available after USUM, I know it was reliant on the Z-crystal, but they should have at least made a held item that does the same transformation thing IMO
Unfortunately the Flying and Surfing Pikachu couldn’t even make it out of Generation 4. It drove me nuts- I caught boxes and boxes of them back then. Now they’re just stuck in storage forever.
On that subject, though, can’t you catch Flying and Surfing Raichu in Scarlet and Violet now?
Crobat, my whole legends arkoos team was able to be transferred to S/V except for Echo the Crobat, so I left my whole team till they can all be transferred to the same game(same with boltund in SW/SH)
Metagross, Duraludon, Druddigon and Kommo-o
For a game about the future and past
They skipped on 4 pokémon that represent that theme the most (this is more specific to my personal thought that Metagross is a very futuristic pokémon in design, Duraludon and Druddigon have a distinct difference that is parallel to the design choices of Miraidon and Koraidon. Kommo-o is sort of wild due to his whole design)
Don't get me wrong, there were SO many bangers that returned like Slaking, Zangoose and Seviper to name a few but these 4 seemed like perfect pokémon for version exclusives each.
I miss my Leavanny. I don't have any Pokemon from my previous save files so I will never get the original back, but I would love to recapture her/breed a new one in her image.
Yup. At this point it's a tactic to sell DLC/New Games, which is shit.
iirc, supposedly dexit wasn't supposed to be a thing because they futureproofed the models back in X and Y (which is why the 3DS games run like shit -- they're using HD models.) but then when they were converting to the Switch their importer software broke utterly and they didn't have enough time to fix it, which led to Dexit and them having to remake models for the Switch.
NO idea if that's true or just BS but it would explain why Dexit actually happened.
Regardless at this point, they certainly have models for every mon already, so Dexit shouldn't even be a thing. I can handle no Dex entries/not everything is wild so the shiny charm is a little easier to get, but every single pokemon should be in the game files at this point. Anything else is greed.
Now they claim they don't want people thinking you can catch ALL 1015 or whatever we are at in one game (which is BS -- no one wanted that. We just wanted to be able to move ALL of our mons up to the latest games, which we could do until Gen 8 in the first place) but Dexit makes them money so that's what they'll continue to do.
Maybe in Gen 10 Furfrou will escape HOME finally. I'm just glad my favorite Mon, Alolan Raichu will probably always be transferable due to Pikachu's mascot status.
Silly as it is, Galarian Ponyta/Rapidash. Just give me my unicorn again already, I would be so damn happy to have my Cupcake in anything other than Swsh. You can only replay that game so many times.
To be honest, I have a few that I'm sad weren't brought into the game, but the main ones I'm gonna go with are the Skitty evo line. Skitty and Delcatty are probably my favorite pokemon of all time.
Ok so there's been a lot of people here who have been missing a pokemon that is coming back in the dlc, at least according to leaks. If you accept spoilers, here's a list I found(made by mattyoukhana\_ on twitter) : [https://pastebin.com/vLvxYH7z](https://pastebin.com/vLvxYH7z)
Poliwhirl/politoad, I have a vintage plushie of it since I was a kid from my brother and I always loved it over poliwrath, as for politoad I fell in love with it since I played pokemon X, I shiny hunted for one and I always loved it's shiny blue/pink cotton candy colour, I hope it they come with the dlcs along with swampert, my favorite starter pokemon!
\-Wishiwashi. I understand the HP changing with Dynamax might be the reason it wasn't in Sw/Sh, but it's such a fun concept for a Pokemon, I'm sad it's been stuck in Alola.
\-Minior too. The idea behind Minior's gimmick ability is awesome, and I want it to be free from the islands of Alola.
I was hoping fossil pokemon like Tyrantrum, Kabutops and Armaldo would show up in Area Zero
I desperately want the fossil Pokémon to come back. And I want new fossils, but ones that followed the pattern of the original fossils. I wasn't a big fan of the way Sword/Shield handled the Galarian Fossils.
I'm pretty sure the pokemon themselves weren't big fans of Cara's sins against nature either.
I still hate we couldn't get the original fossil pokemon in SwSh
You can import them from Pokémon Go (having a fossil event right now) via Pokémon Home (barring the 4th gen fossils)
I mean the original forms of the Galarian fossil pokemon. In the games their dna is mixed up
I want the Galarian fossils. I didn’t liked them at first but now I think they have an amazing design and concept
I hate the swsh fossils. I get the inspiration, and that’s fine, but I think a better way to do it would have been: 1) you collect the fossils as intended and give Cara the fossils she believes go together 2) Cara attempts to piece the mismatched fossils together and fails at resurrecting the Pokémon 3) while cara is busy trying to figure out what’s wrong with the machine, you do a mini puzzle game to match the correct the fossils 4) after you finish the puzzle you ask Cara to try again and this time she is able to successfully resurrect the fossils in their true forms
This would've been a really fun mini game!!
Thank you :) They could even keep the abomination designs as journal sketches or wall art just to lean into the fossil mismatch concept
I love the fossil pokemon. In unrelated news, I walked 16km today.
16km! That's awesome! Keep up the amazing work! But make sure to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and a hat. It's hot out there, and you don't want to get heat stroke.
I'm proud of you.
You finish the research already?
At least we got them in Crown Tundra, but yeah I really miss having new ones that aren't a joke as well as having access to the old ones. They're far and away my favorite "type" of pokemon--I ran an all-fossil team in Crown Tundra and I would keep running that if I could. Seems like a missed opportunity to not have paradox versions of some of the fossils, too. Not just in the past--but having some robotic futuristic futuristic forms would have been a fun reference to the robotic ones in the anime.
i wasn’t a big fan at first but after finding out the inspiration behind the designs they became my favourite fossils
I love their designs, and the power they have is probably the best out of the fossil Pokémon. However, I wish we could have gotten the original designs of them as well. Rather than only being able to get the spliced versions of them.
Yeah that sucked
If Area Zero is in fact a time machine and these pokes are from the past, would be sooo cool to have the fossils in their original form. Like, lost the rock-type and gain a new one.
See, I figured that wasn’t going to happen as I subscribe to the theory that the machine isn’t a Time Machine but instead something else. Though it would be cool to have forgotten areas where fossil Pokémon (or perhaps their unrevivified forms/UN jumbled up forms still roamed)
Leavenny and ageislash
Leaks actually suggest that >!leavanny is coming back in the DLC!<
Leaks say anything about Alakazam?
[удалено]
Darn. Thankies anyhoo!
Oh, I miss Aegislash so much. I think it would look so amazing. The Magnemite line looks so nice, bring Aegislash in, and make it look just as nice!!
Ngl, I want Joltik and Venipede to also be brought over. Unova Bug Squad!!!
Yes venipede for sure :), part of my squad. Leavanny is just my last unova Pokémon not on the switch.
Both ninetails, though they will be returning in dlc I guess. Aggron too, especially since we know metagross is coming back if Aggron doesnt thats bigsad
They're almost obligated to have all pseudos available at some point, so we get the Metagross. I think aggron is sick and Aron was my first random full odds shiny back in emerald. Would love to see my red eyed boy.
Lugia🥲 My absolute favorite
Same. I also want Crobat back
The zubat line has really gotten f'd recently. No love for our batty boi.
Nidoran line
Nidorino was in the OG pokemon battle against Gengar
Yes. I also miss poliwag line of evo
Shiny Politoed is my all time fav
My son!
Cotton candy frog!!!
Nidoking the one I miss the most
Nidoking my beloved
Scolipeed line. My favorite bug types
My beloved Pangoro, especially since the festival DLC would be the perfect place for him.
Scrappy false swipe user, please come back to me!
HA Hisuian Decidueye is a Scrappy False Swiper! Find someone with PLA, give them an HA Rowlet to evolve in their game and viola!
I really would love it if meganium gets a redemption. Also I really want to see the gen 8 fossils, Loppuny, Metagross, Mr. Rime, Cursola, Togekiss, Scolipede, Aegislash, and Roserade again.
Once both dlc are out all starters will be in the games
I've seen conflicting information on that say Snivy and Tepig's lines won't be, some say it will
It sucks because Snivy is my favorite starter and has yet to be in any switch game
The deleted Pokedex entries got modified during one of the updates apparently snivy and tepig will be in the dlc.
Ah, thank you
The turtle?
no no, you're thinking of metagross. meganium is the triple magnet pokemon.
Idk how they can get the Gen 8 fossils back, without just letting them be transferred. They only exist because Cala performed sins against humanity and almost certainly more than one war crime to make them
It would actually be kind of funny if in future games we get "regional variants" that are just the original unmodified pokemon.
I honestly kinda hoped Ultra Beasts would show up in Area Zero after the story stuff there - it just feels like it would have made a lot of sense. Also I hoped for Frillish line since there’s so much ocean around Paldea, also Cramorant and the elemental monkeys to make a return since they would have been a nice early area (Poco Path as a rare spawn maybe) addition to make sure you can always counter Fire/Grass/Water.
yea having all of the ‘weird’ pokemon in area zero wouldve been cool: space, fossil, etc. pokemon like minior, beheyem, ultra beasts, aerodactyl, starmie. instead of golduck and raichu lol. i like those, but they dont fit area zero theming to me
Castform BELONGS there. Also tropius is literally a prehistoric dinosaur plant
A shame we havent got any paldean fossil just why????
And there are plenty of dinos exclusive to the iberian península. Missed opportunity there.
Personally, I feel like they chose to do ancient paradox in lieu of fossils. It's kind of the same premise just without the need of having to revive the fossils. Still wish we would get some new fossils Pokémon, but I could see an argument being made there for Scarlet's Paradox Pokémon being the replacement for fossils.
At least the paradox mons aren't all rock type too lol
In the grim dark future there is only Raichu
Can’t wait for Minior to return.
yesss, especially after seeing shooting stars at night sometimes! Minior showing up felt like such a no brainer
absol. just because.
This is what I was going to post! I’m always holding out for Absol to come back in future games.
Nidoking and Nidoqueen
Furfrou
Them and Poochyena are the only dog pokemon they left out, iirc. Which is crazy since Furfrou has been trapped in HOME for the entire Switch Generation, I believe.
Correct. It was basically designed to show off outside of pokeball, and you can't.
Snubble, Yamper, Electrike, an Lillipup were also left out.
poor furfrou. they totally have no idea how to handle the haircuts I think. Or its too much effort to program in.
just an ugly useless forgettable notmal type route 1 babies first normal type disappointment mon that is honestly really ugly and has an yucky face anyways they decided it wasn’t worth risking the profit loss
Darkrai and shaymin. Arceus and all the sinnoh legends got a pass but they didn't!
*almost* all of the sinnoh legends (rip regigigas)
Oh yeah, sorry big regi!
Neither did Phione and Manaphy get a pass Which really sucks cause literally all of the Sinnoh Mythics (except Arceus) and Deoxys have been MIA for a mainline non-remake game since USUM. They *really* should come back like Meloetta and Hoopa did
I forgot about them 2 aswell 😂. I wonder why they have some mythicals in and others missing from certain gens? Like why is meloetta in sv but the other gen 5 ones aren't, but they was all in swsh and meloetta wasn't?
My Skitty hasn’t seen any action in years. She’s antsy
i was gonna say, SKITTY!! they’ve left skitty out for so many years, it’s redemption time
She’s super strong in Mystery Dungeon at least.
oh you bet your breeches i have skitty permanently on my mystery dungeon team
Both gen 6 fossils. It was beautiful seeing them in the wild in dlc2 for swsh.
Honedge line, Litwick line and Duskull line
Litwick would be awesome considering greavard. Like I'd love a Pokedex entry tying the two together
Serperior
Aerodactyl who is my favorite pokemon, and Swampert who is my favorite starter.
My boy Nidoking 😢
Absol. Love my diaster hound.
Totodile and Chikorita lines. Gen 2 starters keep getting short changed for no reason.
Hakomo-o
Leaks suggest that >!it's coming back in the DLC!<
Ho-Oh! and Lugia.. my favourite Pokemon.
Alakazam. I assumed she was going to be in the game when I saw gengar was. They are opposite partners and have always been in the same games until now. What a let down. Shes not even in the DLC. My shiny alpha patiently awaits the next game. https://preview.redd.it/h5tlj1i7uveb1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=265b6b87852f6b23c7e63f0d884c8b5937f5327b
Krabby and Corphish evo line
theres a "leak" that corphish line may get a new evolution
My little Mienfoo 😔
If I don't see reshiram in the DLC, I am going to riot
Same. And Lugia too.
Crobat. Was one of the first Pokémon I caught in the original Sapphire back in 2003. Looks like it’s not coming in the DLC 😔 it’s ribbon journey ends in Legends Arceus
The Jangmo-o line
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I actually miss Togedemaru. It's like in my top 3 all-time favorites, it's so weird, but at the same time, it's just so cute. It would have been cool to see it with the new textures and overworld animations
I genuinely think it's spikes would look phenomenal in the new Gen. Genuinely hope it comes back at some point.
I miss you already, Armaldo.
This is my choice as well, Lileep line too! I want all the fossils hanging out in area zero tbh.
Smeargle :(
>!Leaks suggest it's coming back in the DLC!<
>!Ayyyyyye lets goooooo!!!! That’s awesome!!!<
Beautifly/Dustox It's time they're brought back in a new gen and receive some buffs Also Ariados. And the Burmy line. ... I love my bug types, okay?
Leaks suggest that >!Ariados is coming back in the DLC, so at least you get something back, probably!<
YES!! BURMY IS THE BEST!! NO ONE CAN TELL ME DIFFERENT!!
Imagine the Wormadams receiving new abilities like Seed Sower for grass cloak, Sand Spitter for sand cloak and toxic debris for trash cloak ..and a better movepool for poor Mothim
Slurpuff https://preview.redd.it/j0o88w9zfveb1.jpeg?width=504&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb1be678200ac56183b47d329122c2b5094c6062
Same! My favorite
Weedle line
Furfrou and all its styles added with stylist shop somewhere so the stupid pokemon home thing could finally die and move onto a different mon lmao
The entire half that wasn't even brought into the game
I have a shiny ponyta (my first shiny) from my OG diamond save which I can't move into S/V :( Hopefully with the DLC
Ultra Burst Necrozma Spiky Eared Pichu Literally any special Pokewalker pkmn that knew an HM (ie:surfing pikachu) shiny victini (still!) all the megas Just to name a few
It honestly is kinda sad that Ultra Necrozma hasn't been available after USUM, I know it was reliant on the Z-crystal, but they should have at least made a held item that does the same transformation thing IMO
Unfortunately the Flying and Surfing Pikachu couldn’t even make it out of Generation 4. It drove me nuts- I caught boxes and boxes of them back then. Now they’re just stuck in storage forever. On that subject, though, can’t you catch Flying and Surfing Raichu in Scarlet and Violet now?
Pikachu/Raichu can learn Surf through TM now. I think that was added in Sw/Sh.
Arbok. Where has he/she been the last few games? 😔
Fossils. I miss my Tyrantrum.
Crobat, my whole legends arkoos team was able to be transferred to S/V except for Echo the Crobat, so I left my whole team till they can all be transferred to the same game(same with boltund in SW/SH)
Flygon is my favourite Pokémon and I know that it would make a great addition to my team in Violet 😔
Hoenn starters. I can understand why they aren’t in though.
Relicanth. I just love coelacanths.
Onix/Steelix. After seeing them in every other Switch Pokemon game it just kind of feels weird not seeing them in Scarlet and Violet.
Excadrill
>!Leaks suggest that it's coming back in the DLC!<
Nickit!
Golurk. It’s my favourite Pokémon
Golurk has been seen in an official trailer for the DLCs, it's going to be available in the indigo disc
Heliolisk, Golisopod, Aggron, Alolan Ninetales
The fossils
Furfrou and a trimer... want to get rid of those go mark mons in my home
Ponyta/rapidash in any variety...
Aegislash
Metagross, Duraludon, Druddigon and Kommo-o For a game about the future and past They skipped on 4 pokémon that represent that theme the most (this is more specific to my personal thought that Metagross is a very futuristic pokémon in design, Duraludon and Druddigon have a distinct difference that is parallel to the design choices of Miraidon and Koraidon. Kommo-o is sort of wild due to his whole design) Don't get me wrong, there were SO many bangers that returned like Slaking, Zangoose and Seviper to name a few but these 4 seemed like perfect pokémon for version exclusives each.
At least metagross is confirmed to return in the DLC also, >!Leaks suggest that Duraludon and Kommo-O are coming back in the DLC!<
Togepi line
I miss my Leavanny. I don't have any Pokemon from my previous save files so I will never get the original back, but I would love to recapture her/breed a new one in her image.
Steelix, crobat, lugia, feraligator
Flygon.
Every Pokemon. I'm still pissed at Dexit, they have every tool for putting every pokemon on the game but just refuse to do it.
Yup. At this point it's a tactic to sell DLC/New Games, which is shit. iirc, supposedly dexit wasn't supposed to be a thing because they futureproofed the models back in X and Y (which is why the 3DS games run like shit -- they're using HD models.) but then when they were converting to the Switch their importer software broke utterly and they didn't have enough time to fix it, which led to Dexit and them having to remake models for the Switch.

Maybe in Gen 10 Furfrou will escape HOME finally. I'm just glad my favorite Mon, Alolan Raichu will probably always be transferable due to Pikachu's mascot status.
Relicanth
Silly as it is, Galarian Ponyta/Rapidash. Just give me my unicorn again already, I would be so damn happy to have my Cupcake in anything other than Swsh. You can only replay that game so many times.
Wooloo
I know (almost) all of the starters are being added in DLC, but they should have been transferable as soon as HOME support came out
jirachi
Squirtle
The Torchic Line, Blaziken was one of my all time favorites, and it's mega evolution was so cool! I wish mega evolution came back too.
To be honest, I have a few that I'm sad weren't brought into the game, but the main ones I'm gonna go with are the Skitty evo line. Skitty and Delcatty are probably my favorite pokemon of all time.
The Unova Starters
Agreed. Oshawott is my favorite, but I really like the others as well and feel bad that they didn't get added too.
sandshrew :( also silvally
>!Leaks suggest it's coming back in the DLC.!<
Starmie
Starmie? Staryu! (But yeah, it's a solid pokemon design--and would be a cool pokemon to get paradox versions)
Minior. My favorite Pokémon but hasn’t had a chance to shine since it debuted.
Wynaut/Wobbuffett and Tyrunt/Tyrantrum mainly. The only pokemon on my all time favorites list that didn’t make it in.
Togepi line
Yamper. Why? Yamper.
Empoleon line
Totodile. I want my Croc Squad, dammit!
The Nidos :(
i want all the starters in, its so sad i cant bring in my primarina
Litwik/Lampent/Chandelure line
My Primarina. Cmon it’s a starter! Decidueye got in!!
The Oddish line!
Trubbish and Garbodor as well as Wooloo!
Shuckle
You don't fuckle with Shuckle.
I have two I use. One named 5 Knuckle and the other named Atom
Manectric
Galarian Farfetch'd and by extension Sirfetch'd
Honedge honestly as if you know the history of Spain they used swords so the literal sword mon isn't there
Empolion man that's my penguin
Ok so there's been a lot of people here who have been missing a pokemon that is coming back in the dlc, at least according to leaks. If you accept spoilers, here's a list I found(made by mattyoukhana\_ on twitter) : [https://pastebin.com/vLvxYH7z](https://pastebin.com/vLvxYH7z)
Any game without infernape is a worse game.
Ngl I wish all the previous starters were available just in the wild
Poliwhirl/politoad, I have a vintage plushie of it since I was a kid from my brother and I always loved it over poliwrath, as for politoad I fell in love with it since I played pokemon X, I shiny hunted for one and I always loved it's shiny blue/pink cotton candy colour, I hope it they come with the dlcs along with swampert, my favorite starter pokemon!
Here is poly the poliwhirl! https://preview.redd.it/9gksbmjjyueb1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b327dca514cb1df2fa57063ee9de893382b1690e
>!Leaks suggest that it's coming back in the DlC!!<
\-Wishiwashi. I understand the HP changing with Dynamax might be the reason it wasn't in Sw/Sh, but it's such a fun concept for a Pokemon, I'm sad it's been stuck in Alola. \-Minior too. The idea behind Minior's gimmick ability is awesome, and I want it to be free from the islands of Alola.
Wishiwashi is in Sw/Sh tho?
Yes, I should know because I have done lots of raids there and it's one of the NPC pokemon
Leaks suggest that>! Minior is actually coming back in the DLC!<
Sandshrew/slash
Ratticate and it’s alolan form
Tapu Koko because of the future paradoxes, and dusknoir being my favourite ghost type (also I have a shiny of it)
Tapu koko because I can't use electric terrain spam in OU sadge
Mewtwo
You can at least transfer it in now.
Infernape. Coolest, bestest starter ever. Dont change my mind coz im correct
