A new mythical Pokémon has been revealed

I will not hear any Grimmsnarl slander, he's the best.
I like this thing too, vicious looking and brutal is a new look for a mythical and I'm definitely into it. I like this thing better than RIllaboom tbh. Its unique for a mythical and doesn't fit the general design mold of the majority of them, but its pretty in line with mythicals like Darkrai and Hoopa-unbound
This isn't a common issue though and solving the problem via a paywall for the few isn't going to make the many happy
I prefer a raid distribution myself and I'll even take a quest in the dlc because I know I'm
already buying it but there's already outroar from people who still think they need to pay to get the 200 mons, also if this mythical was going to be distributed in such a way they would have claimed so sooner with the expac announcement or with this announcement
they could also broaden the location selection which they have done in the past if they aren't comfortable with the options so as it's void an Arceus situation

Well, it just got revealed, so of course we don't have any lore now
With mythicals and legendaries they don't really care about making them competitive, which is how we get things like the primal.
The viability of this Pokemon for Smogon will depend on stats, moveset, and signature moveset though.
I can get people thinking Zarude doesn't look "mythical" enough (same problem Zeraora had) but I don't understand those calling it a bad design. I feel like it succinctly gets the idea of a rude, irate monkey/lemur well while also being sleek.
It's a brand new Pokemon that isn't in the game's files, it's not something we're owed for free. If it is part of the DLC I don't think they would have needed to say that yet, as the trailer said the details will be released later.
The main reason I want it in the DLC so we can have a Mythical finally feel like it's part of the world again. I've never liked them handing out the Mythical with no in game fan fare, being given an item that allows me to catch the Pokemon was always way cooler. Hell, they could still do that as part of a free update.
Lore logic will be he's so dang RUDE that he has no ape friends to pick the bugs from his back, thus he cannot deal with them.
Anyone who says that we don't need another grass monkey doesn't understand the simple and unshakable fact that grass monkeys are the best
Darkrai, Arceus, Volcanion, etc have always been referred to as Mythicals in the US.
Only Deoxys was classified differently, and only since 6th gen.
have you ever been stung by a bee? it hurts
now imagine a hellish world full of four foot tall bees
that's pokemon

Arceus and deoxys were distributions that had quests associated with them, Arceus had a pretty insane one actually so it wouldn't be a new development
And no, we aren't owed anything but thinking from an obvious standpoint suggests they missed 2 VERY key opportunities to further sell a dlc and announce this as being a part of it, there's absolutely zero reason to not announce this as being apart of dlc already if it was, they gain and lose nothing except fan reception to gauge future distributions
also there's also zero reason this can't be a raid distribution limiting you to one catch, they are 100% capable of that
Almost all of them have great abilities.
Soul Heart, Technician, Natural Cure, Serene Grace, Multitype, Download, Clear Body, Water Absorb, Volt Absorb, and Iron Fist.
Manaphy has the same ability, but for Rain, but at least pure Water is a better typing.
I know, all of the Myhticals in Gens 3 and 4 had areas that you went to to catch them, it wasn't until Gen 5 that they gave up on that, though Victini was lucky. But I don't see Game Freak going through the effort of making an area to catch this Pokemon, no matter how small the area, without monetizing it. I'd love to be wrong about that, but the DLC seems like the best chance for the Mythical to be properly integrated into the games.
Giving me Hoopa vibes, but I guess that's what makes it a mythical. Typing definitely seem like it's related to celebi, but we'll see from the Coco movie.
I don't think it's a bad design in a vacuum, but I do think it's a bad mythical Pokemon design, which I guess isn't anything new. I think most of the mythical designs after Gen 5 have been pretty iffy. I think Diancie and Marshadow are the only ones I like.
This is quite clearly Serebii coloured. The green is bang on...the grey is slightly darker
With the TCG set tying in with the movie focusing on Celebi and the Pokémon 4Ever Celebi shrine appearing in the initial trailer, I do wonder if they have a relationship
Sword and Shield raid or a GO raid? Personally I always preferred wifi distribution. F*** Gamestop, most of the time they want you to buy something before they would give you a code.
I mean, its ability was already revealed though.

Have you heard the tales of Darth Zarude the wise?
