There'll be a night weather effect to boost ghost, dark and bugs.

Hitotsuki will be an extremely offensive steel type with access to spikes and rocks, while also being a spinblocker

With the famous catacombs in France, I hope so.

>Will Gen VI be the gen of ghosts?
Doubtful - though, with Fairy type being introduced, there should hopefully be a slew of likewise supernatural entities that'll result in more Ghost types. So it should be a good gen for us, with luck.

I am also hoping that Monorpale/Hitotsuki evolves, but avoids the overly predictable development of becoming a knight, and instead remains as either a sword or some other sort of melee weapon.

Do we know yet if fairy's weak to steel, or was ice the only one Smash kind of made seem likely?

Not sure why bugs would get the bonus - thematically, it suits Poison better.

>>12887214
Steel is suppose to be SE against Fairy.

>>12887201
That's why I don't think it will evolve, why would it evolve into a bigger sword kinda silly UNLESS there is a Ghost/Steel defense Pokemon like a empty armor with evolves WITH Monorpale.

>>12887239
The rattled ability has solidified bug/dark/ghost as a pseudo type trio. They're also the three common fears.

Well, if it evolves into a different type of sword, I could see it - there's a lot of room to play with, besides from just being a bigger sword.

>>12887301
I was thinking more along the lines of Dark, Poison and Ghost generally being the more trickster associated typed - which ties in with the connotations of the night.

And with Fairy now introduced, I can see Bg being replaced.

I still say Bronzong should have been Ghost/Steel all along. It's based on a bell forged with a haunted mirror, for god's sake. That being said, Hexcalibur will definitely have a welcome spot on my mono-ghost team, as long as its stats aren't sableye-tier.

Ok, it's possible, but at least it won't be a knighted armor like 50% of /vp/ assumes.

What if this is the Snorlax of this generation, and you can only find one that's stuck in a rock?

>>12887135 (OP)

Seeing as ghost type has the smallest number of pokemon (not including fairy or the other new type they're revealing just before release) and the reason they've introduced fairy type is to add more ballence, it is a safe bet to say there will be a higher proportion of ghost type, fairy type and the other new type making up the new pokedex this gen to get a more balanced national dex.

>>12887642
I feel like Gamefreak should just take a break on water types until it's all balanced out.

>>12887642

Did they actually say something about a new type, or is this just wishful thinking?

It would be cool if it got Skill Link somehow, and some sort of STAB multi-hit attack.

>>12887649
This. I'm fucking tired of having to reel all these useless water types to complete my pokedew and are taking slots in my boxes for nothing.

>>12887693
That would have to be like Counter, though, and only work on Physical attacks. Or, when parrying a Physical attack, Defense is used, and when a Special attack is used, Sp. Defense.

wot m8

>>12887730
With shit like that, maybe the metagame would get a little less hyper-offensive

>>12887716
So we get a low priority move that deals damage based on either Defense or Special Defense which depends on the move used by the opponent. I suppose it fails if the opponent doesn't attack?

>>12887741
when your opponent hits you, your attack stat is used instead of your defense stat

then, after the damage is taken, you deal 1.5X damage back

Can someone post or link to the pictures that they took during the expo of Blade, here?

>>12887741
it ensures you don't die, which then ensures you deal a lot of damage.
Only thing it wouldn't work on is something like Extremespeed or a strong Special attack.

>>12887757

But say you boost its attack up- logical, considering it's a sword
doesn't that mean you're taking, and thus dealing less damage with Parry than you would with a less powerful attack stat?

>>12887158
Ghost: full moon
Dark: night
Bug: swarm

>>12887777

No, no, it's one effect that boosts all three.

>>12887771
it's not going to be your only attack, y'know.

You still win the battle anyway because you're, in the end, dealing 1.5x the damage.

Will this night weather boost attack power, defense, what?

>>12887785
I can understand one effected ghost and dark, but bug doesn't fit in.

So, they have to make a new Steel attack other than Metal Claw. Something like Steel Slash but with a better name.

No, the pictures Serebii got were before that site posted. A user on his forums posted them

'Blade Lock'. Even comes with the chance causingthe opponent to flinch.

I'm hoping for Normal/Ghost this gen as well.

>>12887949
Yeah, we were watching his forums before both sites posted these

>>12887825
More like "all the basic pokemon that evolve into dual types have normal as a placeholder"

>>12887988

I could see something like a Normal/Ghost shikigami.

Gen VI is the gen of steel types, OP. The evidence is everywhere.

>>12888247
>one new Pokemon is Steel

THIS IS THE GEN FOR STEEL

>>12887664

Masuda sort of accidentaly let slip about a time type possibly (you'd need to reed between the lines of what he said and employ wishful thinking to some degree though, but it is a possibility) and cosmos or gravity is another rumoured type.

Whereas those types mentioned might be taken with a grain of salt it is certain that they'll be saving something big for the last reveal before the games released to get everyone hyped up. There is also the fact that the mascot ledgendary pokemon STILL haven't had their types revealed, which will hurt pre-orders as people will be unsure of which one to order (I love Yveltal's design but it would be silly to get Y if it turns out it's a dark/flying type). The only reason they would be keeping that a secret still with only 3 reveals to go is that it is linked to their big final reveal in September. So that's why many people suspect there will be another new type or types relesed then.

>>12888259
So, did you see OP, anon?

>>12888280
Yeah, that's the first Steel Pokemon for Gen VI so far. The rest are Fire and Water.

Clauncher itself has an actual pistol, though, by all indications. You know, what with pokemons bizarro physiology.

>>12888634
Clauncher has a really big claw that blasts water. Not an actual pistol.

>>12888645
It's a water pistol, sure, but the fact it actually has a projectile weapon ties it closer to a pistol than the thermal based weapon of the pistol shrimp.

>>12888685
>>12888697
>>12888717
Diglett's is 10 and a few others have 20 (including Shuckle, some baby Pokemon and Magikarp/Feebas). That's still insanely low for a fully evolved Steel-type.

>>12888594
It's Special Attack doesn't need to be anywhere near that high in Drawn mode, put 75 of those SPA points into HP for an awesomely rounded Pokemon. The HP value should be the same for each form though, I don't know how that could be properly implemented.

>>12888520
I'm pretty sure it's just segmented, but whatever. Being able to shoot water from it's pistol like claw makes me think it might be partially based on a pistol shrimp though. Still doesn't mean it will be water/fire though, but who knows.

>>12887158
>Decreases power of fire types and fairies, weakens solar beam

>>12888796
Yeah, it's based off of the pistol shrimp - but the mechanics of how an animal has worked in real life has rarely transferred across to the pokemon it's inspired.
