Is he holding a drum? Sound type confirmed?

It's a log. Because koalas live in trees. But it's also rounded, like a pillow. Because koalas sleep a lot.
This is not hard.

>>26698934

Sound type don't exist.

>>26698934

Or maybe, i dunno, IT'S A FUCKING LOG.

So this doesn't look similar?

>>26698993
That's a cylinder, yes. There are lots of cylinders.

it's a beer. cos it's australian. also why he's asleep 90% of the time.

>>26699013
and immune to poison.

I'll admit sound type is a joke but it does look like a drum

Plz gf

>>26698934
honestly dude? kys

>>26699047
It also looks kinda like a battery. Electric evolution confirmed.

>>26698934
I'm perfectly fine with sound type but I doubt that log will turn into a bongo drum

>>26698934
Looks like a swiss roll, food type confirmed.

Sound based moves are classified under the Normal family.

There is no need for a sound type.

>>26699197
Fairy moves used to be other types too.

>>26698934
I think you're right. I'm not even memeing. I think Gamefreak realized there were too many Normal types, so they're slowly introducing typings to take away from Normal. Because honestly what even is "Normal" typing?

Exploud and Chatot are two obvious Normal types that will be changed to Sound

>>26699055
it'll be a physical attacker with boomburst like swellow :^)

>>26699236
Yeah, remember moonblast?

>>26699287
Yes, it makes perfect sense that they would introduce the sound type with a pokémon that has a sleeping theme.

>>26698934
Normal/Grass final stage.

>>26699317
Didn't say all of them, you silly goose.

>>26699329
It's not. Snorlax is a sleeping themed Pokemon. This one's gimmick is being woken up at the start of the turn, hence the drum

>>26699375
>This one's gimmick is being woken up at the start of the turn
Yes, that's why it has an ability that helps it wake up.
Oh wait.

>>26698934
That's your mom's dildo.

It will probably evolve into something drum related but hell they turned a perfume bottle into a dancer

>>26698982
never ever stop shitposting?
can do!
thanks for the motivation!

>>26698982
I wouldn't say never ever, but definitely not this gen. The concept does have enough to work with that they could do it some time down the road if they feel like shaking up the meta, but they wouldn't do that again so soon.

>>26698934
You fucking dip. They already said that its a normal type.

Do you think it won't evolve?
>>26699847

>>26699936
if it does I think it will stay a normal type just like the other normal types do.

>>26700024
>what is Bunnelby

I think it might get a secondary typing like grass or fighting maybe even fairy >>26700024

Koala Kong final evo when?

>>26700156
Most normal types stay the same not much change but some do sure. It might change I don't know, I won't know till the pokemon people say something about it.

>>26700164
That would be neat if it gets another typing. I would like to see fighting and it looking like it would become fighting if anything. At least thats what I think.

>>26699713
should've learned what a comma is in 1st grade dude

>>26700216
>omg but ur le grammer is le wroooooong Dx

>>26698934
I want him to be /Grass and only have the log grow, he stays the same.

Isn't it a log? Like that old saying: Sleeping like a log.

It's a log drum >>26700279

>>26700247
If it just got a bigger log I think it would be super cute.

>>26700307
What if the Log becomes a tree with him snoozing in the branch?

>>26699398
>ability forces it to sleep at the end of the turn (thus regaining health)
>new moves help it wake up


Why the fuck would it not even fight?

>>26699305
DELETE THIS

>>26700339
The ability just makes it immune to statuses that aren't sleep.

>>26698934
It's an alolan watermelon and the pokemon represents the stereotypical lazy nigra

>>26700318
It would be cute but maybe a little much.

>>26700339
Someone's been lying to you.

It's immune to status other than sleep.

This Pokemon is just a gimmick anyways

>>26700360
>>26700378

Right, and then it immediately wakes up by using a move.


Why the fuck would it REMAIN sleeping? That makes zero sense gameplay wise and would just be a death sentence in battle

>>26700446
It's first moves are sleep talk and Scratch.
It stays asleep all the time, and can't be affected by any other status because of it's ability.
It learns slack off at a certain level too.

Will this Pokemon be good competitively since most statuses don't effect it?

Other statuses don't affect it because it's always asleep

>>26700469
At the end of the turn, it goes to sleep to avoid Paralysis, Poison, Burned, etc. At the beginning of the turn, it uses a move to wake up.


How is that hard to understand?

Hope he keeps his ability when he's fully evolved. OU if so.

>>26700894
Not in the wild.

>>26698993
looking similar and being the same thing, like that log and that drum, are not the same thing

I'm naming my Nekkoala Bongo when I get SuMo. And no-one mentioned Iwanko, but I'll either name mine Wanker or Virág.

>>26699011
He said similar, not cylinder.

>Koala's most iconic pose is hugging a tree
>can't just have an omnipresent tree for them to clutch
>give them a constantly present portion of a tree/log

Idk makes sense

>>26700250
I thinking like Timburr line would be nice (not just because I like the designs of the Timburr line)

>>26698934
I think it's just a portable piece of wood, because pretty much all imagery of koalas has them clinging to a tree, this is just a way of making that more possible.

also, if it has an evolution, I see it learning Wood Hammer.

>>26702890
OMG yes, wood hammer!

>>26702829
do you work for 4kids

It's a potato

>>26700499
That woud be too broken, it's probably an eary game shitmon, why would it have an ability that prevents any forms of status, even sleep?

>>26698934
I feel like if GF were planning to release a new type, it'd hype it up a bit more, like it did with Fairy (release new Eeveelution and let the suspense simmer for months)

That being said, Corocoro confirmed the other mutt to be rock-type, did they tell us what this thing's type is? I hope it gets something to differentiate itself from Snorlax outside a literally worse ability than what Lax has

>>26703307
It's confirmed to have that ability in CoroCoro.

>>26700499
Because of the way you're fucking phrasing it, faggot. We all know the ability, and you keep acting like this somehow makes it automatically, by default puts it to sleep at the end of each turn.

Your grammatical incompetence aside, yeah I could see GF giving it a move with like 30 BP that automatically wakes it up, letting it have a killer Rest/Wake-Up Stall combo. Plus since it's an early-game mon (implied by its early release) its stats might not be too broken making this a realistic set.

All that being said, its ability is kinda underwhelming. Literally Rest does the same thing as making you immune to all statuses, you don't need a designated ability for it.

>>26703307
It's ability doesn't prevent sleep, it prevents all other statuses.

When we all get wrecked in competitive by Nekkoala's evolved form, we'll remember that people said it would be a shitmon (Talonflame is a good example of an early game Pokémon kicking ass).

>>26700446

So your argument is that it's ridiculous for a pokemon with the Ability "immune to all status besides sleep" is able to be put asleep?

That's a good Ability regardless. It's pretty much an objectively inferior Magic Bounce, while having a slight edge over Magic Guard. Magic Guard users at least can be frozen and paralyzed. This mon would have to be statused by something like Toxic Mold Breaker Excadrill to get crippled.

I NEED TO SEE WHAT THAT FUCKING KOALA EVOLVES INTO

Hmm, I wonder if it could somehow be a tree stump that doubles as a sort of drum. Either that, or it becomes a drum once Nekkoala evolves.

>>26703889
It also makes it immune to Scald burns.

why a dropbear in hawai'i

>>26698934
Honestly at this point Normal type can just be renamed to Sound type and I wouldn't bat an eye.

>matter is Giratina's shtick

So the real question: Does mold breaker toxic/twave work?

>>26699236
The difference is that sound isn't a trait that can be assigned to a type except for normal seeing as everything makes a sound.
Literally everything would have to be sound type if it existed.

>>26706275
Very likely so

>>26706275
>Water Veil prevents the Pokémon from being burned.
>A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of burn if it is burned while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability outside of battle or by an effect like Skill Swap, or is burned by a Pokémon with an Ability like Mold Breaker).
>Immunity prevents the Pokémon from being afflicted by poison.
>A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of poison if it is poisoned while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability outside of battle or by an effect like Skill Swap, or is poisoned by a Pokémon with an Ability like Mold Breaker).

>A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of paralysis if it is paralyzed while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability outside of battle or by an effect like Skill Swap, or is paralyzed by a Pokémon with an Ability like Mold Breaker).

This isn't the first time we've had a status preventing ability.

I just realized this thing could probably pull off a Grass typing too, which means even Spore and Sleep Powder would fail on it.

Could be a top tier competitive mon.

>>26698934
It's a hanni. Hype rweapons confirmed.

>>26700024
Me too.

I think it will keep the teddy bear theme and stay a normal type.

I also give it 30% chances of not evolving at all. I just get that vibe (kek).

I'm expecting the log to be hollowed out and hold Eucalyptus tea, so it'll be Normal/Grass with some Water moves

>>26699197
There are sound based moves in other types as well
I'm sure it'll end up being some kind of drum, and I'm sure we're not getting a sound type. He'll probably evolve into a grass/normal boomburster

>>26698934
It´s a confirmed normal type pokémon, so no sound at all. Stop this shit and accept, there will be no sound type in this generation.

Sound doesn´t even make sense, because there has to be than also a seeing type, a feeling type and all senses types.

All Pokémon can learn at least cry, so they have to be sound, too. Dumg idea.

>>26707266
If this is an early route mon, it's definitely evolving. Single stage mons rarely appear early on.

Unless it has a Vigoroth situation, that's not likely.

I don't think it's part grass

>>26699334
>Ability makes it where he can only be affected by Sleep

Granted, Hypnosis, Yawn, and Dark Void exist, but that's still giving the guy a huge leg up.

>>26713598

Speculation. The first stage is confirmed pure Normal, most people are theorizing that it could become part Grass with an evolution.

How is that reaching the only difference is the koalas drum doesn't have string

It is a drum.
It is Normal/Sound
It's name is Taikoala.
Taiko drum + Koala
