What.

>>27617146
Didn't you get the memo? That cat from hell ends up part Dark part cartoony type.

>>27617167
Same old shit recolored

>>27617146
It'd be funny if Gen 7 has no Ice Types because the type only goes to new forms of old Pokemon.

I wouldn't mind if it meant my Bug bros get the love they deserve

New typing, new stat distribution, new movepool, new abilities. It's a new Ice-type no matter how you slice it.

what bug has to do with ice?

Alolan Volcarona

>>27617228

Actually, it's still a Vulpix/Sandshrew, still has it's look and still the same name, so it's still the same Pokemon just different type and stats..

The reason I hate the alola forms is because they have pretty much made new Pokemon but given them the designs of older gen Pokemon. They could've easily made an Arctic Fox Pokemon and a Snow Shrew/mole Pokemon instead of just slapping it on old Pokemon..

>No new _ type pokemon have been revealed so there aren't any new _ type pokemon
What kind of meme is this?

>>27617228
Are new stats confirmed? That would be awesome

>>27621664

The description of Alolan Sandslash outright says it's slower than normal Sandslashes.

So in other words, it's a new Ice-type Pokemon.

Not really, it has a significant design change.

>>27621664
Pokemon site says it's slower but has better defenses.

So its another slow bulky Ice Type which means it's USELESS!

Ice/Steel
>4x Resistance to Ice
>2x Resistance to Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, Grass, Normal, Psychic
>Immune to Poison
>2x Weak to Ground
>4x Weak to Fighting and Fire

Slow.
With a BST of 450, assuming Alola Forms keep the same stat total and they don't give both forms a boost.
Snow Cloak as an ability instead of something that might have prevented it from being completely useless (not even sure what that would be).

Snowslash is dead on arrival.

>>27622491
with one 4x weakness it would have been workable, but two to fire and fighting is the death of it even with all those resistances

>>27622632
4x weaknesses, even 2 of them aren't necessarily a death sentance, provided of course they're uncommon offensive types or it's stats can compensate. But Fire and Fighting are two of the most common offensive types used competitively, so yeah unless this thing has more bulk than Blissey and Skarmory combined it doesn't stand a chance.

>>27622870
name 1 good pokemon that has two 4x weaknesses that is actually usable.

one is workable, two is not. especially when it's common offensive moves and coverage moves like fire and fighting.
