SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword and Shield Datamine Thread

[Rarycaris]

Lunala is sitting in the corner crying right now. Calyrex's Shadow Rider form looks like a decent offensive check to Zacian.

(Nah, in fairness Shadow Shield will still be good.)

 

[orangeoctober]

Ghost Rider looks dope

 

[AtlasFlame18]

Shadow Rider is gonna be eatin in Ubers

 

[fratelli bc]

how does calyrex ride on this thing to the battlefield shits gonna take DAYS

Gosh look at those stats
Calyrex is even trashier than we imagined

 

[PimpParasect]

LMAO regieleki casually becoming the fastest mon in the entire game. Say hello to one of the best revenge killers in the whole game if they give this mon bolt/beam coverage.

Real talk you can just slap a specs on this thing and go nuts, especially if it gets volt switch (if that ability actually boost electric type moves.. say hello to your new genesect..). Hopefully it doesn't get priority of its own but I'm calling extreme speed in its movepool.

 

[R_N]

Calyrex Ice Rider is going to put his lance in front of him and walk forward slowly and i you walk into him its not his fault

 

[orangeoctober]

Kinda disappointing the Rider forms are psychic and not grass

 

[Yung Dramps]

honestly

im still skeptical

base calyrex is too bizarrely weak and there are no regis other than gigas with above 80 hp

If this thing can hit you then you will die. At least it isn't slow and weak

 

[DreamPrince]

You know if Glastrier has Ice Shard, it might not actually be that bad.

 

[467 11 11p]

i wonder how fucking insane electroball will be on regielec

 

[The Crusade]

Birds are trash, specially Moltres, that spread doesnt acomplish anything, i'm still trying to figure out how that think is even gonna do damage. Zapdos is nuts, but Zapdos has been nuts since generation 1, no surprise there.

With Berserk, Agility, and potentially Nasty Plot, this thing has a bonkers setup game.
Not confident it'll meet the OU standard though.

 

[Siggu]

So, as a reference, max Speed Regieleki is faster than neutral Kingdra on rain.

 

[Some random freak]

Are we thinking Ice rider is too strong for OU? 680 BST sounds scary but being that slow with a ton of weaknesses might make it manageable.

 

[Crimson Chris]

I think we should see movepool before we judge Glastrier and the Birds totally. Base Calyrex on the otherhand....welp

 

[AtlasFlame18]

Regieleki is going to be the fastest trapper in the came with Thunder Cage.

I'm sad that Calyrex is a worse Celebi. WHYYYYY IS MEGAMIND SO BAD

How does this thing compare to a mon with dual steel bug stab, 800+ attack and special attack, one of the best movepools in the entire game and +2 priority that can kill.

With Berserk, Agility, and potentially Nasty Plot, this thing has a bonkers setup game.

Berserk and Nasty Plot are redundant since we don't even know that is the +3 needed for, so Berserk couldn't be more circumstantial. Also, Agility and NP also means no Roost. I can't see this thing doing shit, I hope im wrong, but i doubt it.

165 atk, no item lock, a signature physical ice move, insane bulk, and moxie
no
(g7) kyub but with a reliable ice move is enough grounds already

(also idk why people are saying ice horse is bad; the sheer stat spread makes it seem real good lol)

 

[AmbientDinosaur]

Calyrex has a lower BST than the horses it's riding

 

[Crimson Chris]

G-Moltres I think is clearly being made into a tank, it seems like a more specially defensive Mandibuzz honestly.

 

[fratelli bc]

Choice Scarf Max Speed Regieleki hits 822 lol

 

[G-Luke]

I'm gonna have to disagree with this. Ice Horse is just an ice-type Mudsdale.

Im crying

 

[Mario With Lasers]

I knew ice horse would be slow the nanosecond they mentioned his ice mask was sturdy

But 30? THIRTY? lmao

 

[R_N]

Calyrex is almost comically weaker than I ever expected. Like obviously the rider forms were goign to be better but 500 BST??

 

[dodiabla]

honestly

im still skeptical

base calyrex is too bizarrely weak and there are no regis other than gigas with above 80 hp

I mean, if it had base 100 in each stat it would basically be Celebi....

also,

252 Atk Life Orb Landorus-Therian Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Avalugg: 185-218 (45.7 - 53.9%) -- 43% chance to 2HKO

Ice horse might be UU at best
