I hate that. It was the same with Hydreigon in BW

Games need a good high level postgame if there are pokemon evolving as late as lvl 60
We don't know what level the Champion's Pokemon are. They could easily be 60ish so you'd have your Dragapult for the league.
The leaker has already been playing some postgame stuff and his team is currently low to mid 60s. Pseudos have slower level-ups than other mons, so you're not gonna have a Dragapult until the postgame or literally right at the end of the campaign.
So basically Hatterene has:
- a healing move that heals her and partner
- exclusive Gigantamax move that confuses both opponents
- Gigantamax also fixes her biggest issue with low HP for 3 turns
This mon is going to be a pain to face isn't it.
Ofc, Gigantamax Hatterene can't use the healing move thankfully.

So has any more info on galarian farfetch'd been revealed? (the leaker probably has Shield right?)
also has G-max gengar been confirmed as false or just not yet revealed?

Depending on how high the multiplier goes it could be nothing to sneeze at. 40-50% damage for 3 turns + max moves, and it's free.
Leaker fought G-max Gengar, he just can't take a pic of it in the Dex because it's a trade evo. And yes, he's playing Shield.
Is that an exclusive move or something? I know that gigantamax alcremie does this but I didn't know Hatterene got something similar
I don't really play truck room but yeah great potential with that.
Some surprisingly solid statlines so far!
Orbeetle's the only disappointment for me so far, but as its typing overlaps so hard with other pokemon I was interested in, I suppose it's good to have a solid reason to not go for it.
Was interested in Hatterene but there was some overlap with types there too; she looks really really good assuming she has another ability that does anything useful.
Dragapult is what I expected: awesome but not practical for a standard playthrough.

ah ofc, has every g-max pokemon been revealed then except for gengar? we probably won't know untill the datamine right?
It's a new move, Life Dew, that the leaker posted.
We have no idea if it's exclusive or not, though.
Oh that's cool. Do we have a pic of the move description? I haven't seen it, was it leaked today?
Yeah, the leaker posted Hatterne's stats and move page along with a number of other pokemons.
Here it is.
Life Dew is an AOE heal
Hoping it's 33% for both or it'll be busted.
There are several we know of but haven't gotten a good look at in game like Flapple/Appletun's, but yeah we're unlikely to know for sure until a datamine or if a new leaker has another guidebook.
Hatterene looks like it might be busted, everything but it's speed, HP and attack are ridiculous
Man I can't wait for gen 8 meta. Gonna be the biggest shakeup in a long time. Dexit will make this a much more interesting competitive game.
Imagine if Landorus didn't come back until gen 5 remakes. A man can dream.

oh right forgot about those, any idea if the picture of a supposed G-max Eldegoss is real?
I can't wait to catch all the new pokémon and pokémon with G-max forms!
How about just ban certain pokemon and that's it instead of taking them out completely from the whole games solution.
Also I feel like because the leaker has finished the game by now and he hasn't reveald any G-max starters (new starters) that there won't be any, which is sad. The starters of gen 6 also didn't get any mega's, but the starters of gen 7 did get Z-moves ;-;
My team will probably end up being something along the lines of:
Rillaboom
Corviknight
Hatterene
Grimmsnarl
Toxtricity
Grapploct
Though there's others I like and I'll mix it up as I go depending on availability. EXP Share makes things easy too, I think I had 10 Pokemon in rotation by the end of XY due to it.

You can still like the effect it has on the competitive side while disliking the way it was achieved.
We don't know what the effect is. Existing pains in the arse are gone sure, but other Pokemon that were sitting just below them have had their checks removed (looking at you 'pex)
Like the prospect would be more accurate to say I suppose.
Possible. But I don't really trust GF to actually create a balanced meta
Battle tower has a selection of rental teams you can use. These are the stats for the rental Falinks
I love how this image could show Intelleon in a less awkward stance but he's the one we can't see lol.
Dream Balls are more effective on sleeping Pokemon
It does get Quiver Dance, the leaker posted it with some of it's moves.Is this love at first sight?
And finally they make an Ice Pokémon with stats that aren't shit or defense-oriented! Frosmoth is gonna be dangerous if it gets Quiver Dance.
Also, nice to see that Duruludon and Falinks seem pretty good.
I was kind of worried since they don't have evo/pre-evos.
Im really surprised that the hatterene vs grimmsnarl lines and/or Frosmoth vs centiskortch lines aren't looking to be version exclusive. Both are so obviously mirrors of each other that I was certain they'd not be in the same game, it just makes so much sense. The former are both three stage, similarly powerful fairy types; the latter are both two stage bug types.
I guess it's a good thing in the end if they aren't, just a bit weird

What the fuck is Cinderace's movepool? This thing might actually be really good. That signature move is busted as well.
Those signature moves are great.
Pyro Ball is no recoil Flare Blitz with slightly less accuracy.

Both of those signature moves look pretty good. Rillaboom has a decently powerful move with the very useful side effect of always gimping the opponent's speed, which should be nice competitively. 120 BP for cinderance's move is massive as well
Edit: aaaand intelons looks pretty bad lol
