We got the news and it goes more in-depth of the Aloha Region and gives the typing, abilities and signature moves of the legendaries! Solgaleo is a Psychic/Steel type (WAT) with the ability Full Metal Body (think of it as a Clear Body for a legendary). Solgaleo's signature move is Sunsteel Strike. Lunala is Psychic/Ghost with the ability Shadow Shield (Multiscale basically). Lunala's signature move is Moongeist Beam. We still have no clue what the base power, accuracy, PP or secondary effects of these moves. We also have a talking Rotom in your Pokédex (I am not joking) Your rival is revealed as well as the professor's assistant. Watch the video here! Thoughts? Opinions? Discuss them below!
Looks like they revealed pretty much everything I was expecting, Sogaleo's types were a bit of a surprise but I'm ok with it (still fire is more appropriate for it). Full Metal Body immediately thought of FMA Tho I wasn't expecting both of the legendaries to be half psychic. The fact that the Pokédex talks is quite cool, again something completely different, and tbh, overall I was happy with everything the trailer presented. Hopefully this month's Corocoro will reveal new Pokémon
It seems kinda ironic that Solgaleo, a "sun" legendary Pokémon, is weak to Fire attacks :p Really weird job on the typing tbh. Psychic/Fire or even Psychic/Dragon would have worked. Weird typing on Lunala too. Psychic/Ghost? I think Psychic/Rock or Psychic/Dark would've made more sense. But hey, that's fine with me haha. I'll just wait 'til I see them in action.
Wait... I think there is one thing that this pretty much dispels. Sogaleo is not the Pokémon of the Sun and Lunaala is not the Pokémon of the moon. There was something going around that kind of made sense due to the previous Japanese trailer. Sogaleo (representing Hoku) is the legendary who represents hope while Lunaala (representing Shohei) is the legendary Pokémon of despair. On a less theoretical note, there were a number of trailers on the Japs channel and hour after that I woke up to find and NO ONE HAS TALKED ABOUT THEM HERE!!! Some of them are stuff we've already seen, but some is pretty cool. Anyone who knows Japs plz translate?
