Would be a great addition. Lugia was the master of the birds, right?
It'd fit right in.

Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Passes announced. 'Isle of Armor' coming June 2020 and 'The Crown Tundra' Fall 2020 (New 'mons, new areas) - US$30

- Start date
It'd fit right in.
Galarian Articuno - Psychic/Flying
Galarian Zapdos - Fighting/Flying
Galarian Moltres - Dark/Flying or Ghost/Flying
If it is Dark Flying we will have the spiritual successors of our legendary Psychic Fighting Dark Trio:
(Ignore the Gen 6 starters, those were only secondary typings)
Also, the laser thing looks like an ice beam.
I think it is Ice/Psychic. The pose is very similar to mewtwo, but the attacks shown look ice related.
If I were to guess, they don't have the Flying type, but Ice/Electric/Fire with another one.
Nihilego kinda had an excuse, being an ultra beast and all. They should have went more crazy with the typings
Yes this is highly likely too and would be my next best guess, though i think they'll keep their flying types. I'm 60/40 on it. But I'm almost sure it's going to be some combination with psychic, fighting and dark. Maaaybe ghost instead of dark but more likely dark.
Well, it is the same in English, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Artic, Zap and Molten, with the spanish names for 1, 2 and 3.

Ice/Steel Articuno that maintains bulk, but has great speed/special attack too would be my dream. I love that thing, but it's hell to use on even an in-game team due to its weaknesses.
Moltres is easily going to become a Fire/Dark type. Look at that thing, no other typing makes sense. Zapdos will drop flying for ground too imo.

Is there any bird Pokemon thats clearly a bird without Flying type?
There are aquatic pokemon without water typing. So a bird without flying typing wouldn't be too weird

I have this feeling that Moltres will throw a curve ball and turn out to be Fire/Fairy.
Galarian Farfetch'd?
Empoleon line and that new penguin from SwoShi ... given that penguins can't fly it's fitting. ^^
French names are so fun.
ArtikODIN, ElecTHOR, and, hum, Sulfura (i don't get it).
As for the typings, my guess is they will loose the Flying type (and maaaaybe gain Levitate as their ability).
Bigger news: Moltres and Articuno will finally rid themselves of being completely neutered by Stealth Rock. Huzzah!
I hope that cave is not just a corridor...but my expectations are low. I love the exploration outfit.
I'm so happy they went all in with the open areas. Only thing left now is getting them to look good lolI hope that cave is not just a corridor...but my expectations are low. I love the exploration outfit.
There is a technical loophole around that, these three Galarian birds can have a variation of the Refrigerate/Areialiate/Pixilate ability as their ability for Fire/Ice/Thunder moves and still be Psychic/Flying, Dark/Flying and Fighting/Flying.
Sulfura is due to Sulfur, the element that makes volcanoes smell like they do, I suppose it has a similar name in French.
Not that I know of. Delibird and Doduo/Dotrio are flying but their real life counterparts can't fly.
So true, the surroundings of that regi temple look....rough. I hope the jump from gen 8 to gen 9 is as notable as the jump from XY to SM was.
I wonder if they're testing the waters with these expansions for a fully open-world Pokémon title in the future. The choice to have the entire islands be open like the Wild Area but with caves, buildings and towns is a far cry from the Wild Area, which is, really, just a big open route connecting two cities.

Honestly the in game footage really dampens my excitmenet. All of this looks just as bland as the wild area.
Hopefully these new areas are much more lively and interesting.
some AO would do wonders here. as well as some damn shadows cause these characters are fucking floating. this is some 360 shit here
Galarian Moltres still has fire on its body, it's almost certainly still Fire type
Galarian Articuno is shown with ice shards around it and its design uses a mask that's used to prevent snow blindness, so...
That just leaves Zapdos, and if the other two kept their primary types, Zapdos probably did too
It's their secondary types to look for. I wonder if they give Moltres/Articuno Levitate to keep them airborne.

Not necessarily fully open world but basically like DQ11 is my guess, multiple areas like these + open cities and towns
All of the footage looks pretty unpolished, but the Regi temple looks straight up unfinished. Crown doesn't come out for almost a year, so hopefully it looks better when it releases.
But yeah, I really hope Gen 9 has a nice visual boost. I hope it looks at least as good as BotW.

It's definitely gonna be just more wild area-tier stuff, I don't think it's gonna be some big shake up to the game or anything, just a vehicle for more content.
These new areas are already better because we know they have actual buildings in them, and actual caves/hidden passages instead of being just a field. And the new explorable dens are quite a big upgrade even if we have yet to see how they work
The jobber of the birds you mean
*grumbles over the 2nd Pokemon movie
Don't get me wrong I think there's gonna be plenty of fun to have in it. I'm excited, I just don't expect it to be anything that turns around the folks who disliked Sw/Sh's stuff.
Yeah i get that.
What I don't understand is that two of them refer to Odin and Thor, and not Sulfura, as far as I can tell.
Maybe there's no Viking god for fire and volcanoes?
I don't know lol
Can a Phony Sinistea breed an authentic Sinistea? I know that breeding an authentic Sinistea doesn't give you another authentic by default, but is the authenticity locked to random encounters? I want an authentic one, but the encounter rate is so low, breeding would be faster.
