According to Serebii, a new Pokémon has potentially leaked through Pokémon Go network traffic. Spoiler: What It Looks Like The linked twitter thread has a lot of fan-art already, as well as discussion of what this could possibly be. So, Lake Valor... discuss!
I think it's just a placeholder or something. It looks like they just stuck a nut on top of Ditto's head.
It looks way too disorganized to be a real Pokémon. Like, it just doesn't fit. It looks like a ditto got an extra honeycomb piece from Banjo Kazooie stuck on its head.
I don't think this is real and I kind of hope it isn't. It looks really fake, since the body is just a recolored Ditto and the head looks... off. Like it was a separate image added onto the Ditto recolor. I suppose it would be kind of interesting if it were real, since it's a very different design than what we've seen before, but... no. Just no.
looks like a ditto with a very....interesting head/face. Doesn't look real to me atm, but I won't call it fake either. I remember when Morelull was just leaked and my first thought was how fake it looked. But then things happened
I'm gonna choose to not believe it for now like I always do with leaks, just to avoid possible disappointment. It does look....Well weird. Not really sure what to think but for now I'll just wait and see if it turns out to be real datamined or not I will wait and see.
To me it looks more like a stationary object like a statue for the pewter city museum or something. I doubt it's even a Pokémon but who knows at this point.
Whatever this thing is, it's basically real. Head of Marketing for Pokémon GO in Japan, Kento Suga, just tweeted about it with a screenshot. Spoiler https://twitter.com/kentosuga/status/1043385296392355840
I caught a few today! (Yes, it's real. I have screenshots.) They all turned into Ditto, though. Unusual... hopefully it's a new Pokémon to be in Let's Go? What happened is that it was Community Day, and suddenly, these things took over when the Chikorita all disappeared. They're really tiny...
Having had more time to think about it, I feel like this thing looks like it could be an Ultra Beast counterpart of Ditto. I kind of want that to be the case now.
It certainly looks interesting. I'm not sure whether I want it to be real or just a placeholder yet, though. I don't think it's a Ditto, though it does look similar to that, but still. It doesn't really strike me as a real Pokémon
