So there's only one of him? I don't get it. Can somebody

>>28317858
Why the fuck is it named Type: Null?
What retarded shit is this thing supposed to be for?

it is not listed as a legendary pokemon. they have not said anything about how many of them exist or if it is special.

it's typing and ability are not special. it just has a weird name and a cool backstory?

>>28317858
It's Aether's Mewtwo/Genesect. Except instead of a clone, it's a chimera (frankenstein DNA combo of multiple Pokemon).

>>28317858
There's a theory that "Type: Null" is just the error message you get from the dex because it doesn't recognize it.

>>28317858
It's this game's Mewtwo/Deoxys/Genesect. Reaches Uber tier once you unlock that mask like you did when you purified Lugia in Gale of Darkness. Gets a huge boost in Speed and a new ability, calling it right now.

>>28317902
>Why the fuck is it named Type: Null
Because the rotomdex cant scan it

>>28317858

I can't imagine these things just roaming around in the wild, so maybe it'll be a Rotom-esque deal where it's not legendary, but there's only one to be encountered in a specific area.

I think he's just like lucario and zoroark.

>>28317999
yeah i think this is likely the case

over the years gamefreak has incerasingly blurred the lines between legendary pokemon and normal pokemon

>>28317999
Rotom can breed.
I doubt this one can...i think if he's unique he's legendary.

If I had to guess, I'd say that Gladion guy gives you his once you've beaten the game. It's not a legendary pokemon, but it's one you can't find in the wild, like Beldum.

>>28318040

There's nothing to suggest it can't breed, and even if it can't naturally, there's always ditto.

It'd be really strange for an NPC to be fighting you with a level 30 legendary.

>>28317858
totaly not evil team tried to make a pokemon to rival arceus and other legends, presumabley useing arceus DNA or some shit
because of arceus' multitype, type null ended up with all sorts of random traits from different types and looks like a fucked up monster
they still succeeded and it was way too strong for them to handle so they dunked its head in a big metal box to contain its power and make it controllable

>>28318149
So he's just a rare pokemon like beldum,larvesta,rioulu etc?

>>28317999
You see the team skull enforcer using one. It's not special.

>>28318455
It's being discussed whether or not he is a potential rival right now.

Along with being related to Lillie/other new lady

>>28318544
Rival implies having similar end goals.

>>28318544
Okay. Even more reason to believe it isn't legendary.

Imagine Gary showing up with a lvl 38 Zapdos to your 4th battle.

>>28318455

>You see a plot-important character that clearly ties into the Aether storyline, likely an estranged family member, using one.
>It's not special.

???

>>28317902
It'd help if you read the official site, but I guess you can't expect a filthy casual to actually bother to read up on news.

>This Pokémon wearing a mask has been dubbed “Null,” meaning nothing.

The shapes of its front and hind legs are clearly different. The reason is that Type: Null was constructed to synthesize the strengths of various Pokémon, enabling it to adapt to any situation.

The mask fitted to Type: Null’s head is a piece of equipment designed to control its latent powers. It’s extremely heavy, so it also serves to hinder Type: Null’s agility.

To complete a certain mission, there was need of a Pokémon powerful enough to rival those Pokémon often spoken of in mythology.

>>28318455
how does that makes him not special?

>>28317858

It's said he was created to rival the power of mythical beasts.

Likely created as a line of defense against the Ultra Beasts.

>>28318672
similar to sighylph then?

>>28317858
He's the Porygon of the game

>fish tail
>bug legs
>plates that can be vaguely attributed to ground, maybe

Was it made to fight the Musketeers?

The design is ugly but I'd be okay with it if the name wasn't so dumb.

>>28318738
>what are nicknames

>>28318455
He probably gives it to you at the end if his plot line

>>28318703
Wasn't Sigylyph just created to stop people from stealing ancient treasures?

>>28318757
The name still triggers me.

>>28317858
>Fin for a tail
>Canine-like hind legs
>Green talons for front feet
>Cat head

Probably synthesized from the starters and Rockruff. We'll find out if this is true once Corocoro leaks.

>>28318780
Exactly what I was thinking. This doesn't look like a Pokemon found in the wild

>>28317858
what if it is made of the parts of the starters's evos?

Popplio's tail, Litten's Body and Rowlet's legs.
Think about it

>>28318785
Sigylyph where created like Type: Null and they're a common pokemon,soo...

>>28318298
but she looks cool

>>28317946

>>28318898

>>28318880
>>28318880
Yeah but sigilpyh is just some filler shitmon with "generic ancient civilization created it" eg claydoll. Null is obviously special

>>28319001
I think you guys are overreacting a bit because of it's name.
In the trailer (Especially the english one) nothing points that he's legendary or unique.
He can be a filler mon with some backstory like sighilph,

>>28319062
Watch the Japanese trailer, we got the cliffnotes of the cliffnotes version in English. It's the Team Skull kid's main Pokemon with special animations with him.

>>28317858
Calling it right fucking now. Type: Null was an experiment to face off against the legendaries by the Aether Foundation, carried out by Team Skull. This is evident by Gladion working under Team Skull, but being related to Lusamine. Gladion and his partner pokemon lent by Aether, Type: Null set off to encounter and capture/defeat the legendary. We probably stop him many times.

Type: Null is a Chimera, made up of different (vague) Pokemon. It's interesting to note that its typing is Normal though. You would think this man-made powerhouse would have a triple typing, right? Well, that's when the mask comes to play. Type Null's mask inhibits its power and speed drasticly, thus being able to keep under control.

Not only does the Chimera and the 'legendary' tier it has back up the Triple typing theory, but in the trailer it is shown to use a somewhat unusual move: Tri-Attack.

When the mask comes off, maybe it gains 3 different typings? Who knows. But we do know it's powerful as fuck.

Thanks other anons earlier for their info on this.

The name for it in most languages is Type: Zero. The ultra beast is named UB-01. One is named 'zero' and one is name 'one' There has to be a connection between the names.

>>28317858
First good pokemon design in years.

>>28319256

Japan's the only one that matters, and it's Type Null.

>>28317858
Is he Marshadow? A beast to rival the Legendaries?

>>28319293
This. The English name just happens to be the same. All the other shitskin countries can fuck off.

>>28319293

Because when the guy gives it to you, you get to officially name it in the PokéDex.

>Aether is the "Fifth Element"
>The other four are Earth, Fire, Water, and Air which:
>Rockruff (Earth)
>Litten (Fire)

So is the Aether Foundation trying to create another typing? Aether type? Maybe that is what Type: Null's true typing is when the mask is off? Or maybe Marshadow's typing?

Tapu Koko hasn't technically been called a legendary either, despite that obviously being what it is and being refereed to as a deity, something only Dialga and Palkia have been explicitly called.

There might other legendaries called deities, but fuck I don't remember

>>28319578
AWWWW SHIT UB-01 IS AETHER TYPE

THAT IS WHY IN THE TRAILER IS ONLY SHOWED ITS NAME, NO TYPE

or maybe they aren't classified as Pokemon, only exclusively as Ultra Beasts. But it's something to think about.

>>28319254
>Pokedex
>Recording anything unknown

But the Pokedex pretty obviously has the pokémon and information catalogued from the start. So much so many games need you to upgrade your pokedex.

It was never explained how the fuck the pokedex help the professor's research but it's not cataloguing unknown pokémon.

>>28319463

No, it's going to unmask, then evolve into Type: Void
Maybe give it an ability that makes all moves attacking it normal effective, or all of its moves normal effective against other types.

I think I get it, so it can't truly be its own pokemon because it's more than one pokemon, meanwhile stuff like fossil mons and Mewtwo are still their own pokemon because they are only made up of their own solitary DNA.

And as >>28319983 mentioned, UB-01 is likely the first actual ayy lmao in pokemon. I think that's a little easier to live with.

It was probably created very recently, or is a prototype, and is unique because of it. If the only people to know of it are its creators and edgy teen, and it was stolen before being given a name, then it wouldn't have any "official" name to be recognized as, whereas there are multiple porygons, and Magearna, Mewtwo and Genesect were named by their creators.
