Why does Alolan Raticate have a placeholder image for the PGL?

Kanto Raticate?

>>31966270
totem pokemon

>Ash-Raticate

All the totems do.

The real question is why does Lycanroc?

>>31966301
It's for Ash-Lycanroc.

>>31966301
Eclipse form soon*
*not actually that soon

All the totems have a placeholder in the sprites leaked from the demo datamine (except Wishiwashi because its pokedex sprite is already fucking huge).

Only A-Raticate, Mimikyu, and Lycanroc have placeholder PGL sprites, however.

speaking of which, didn't Zygarde also have a placeholder as well? How come nobody talked about it?

They set just in case they decide to use them

Alolan Raticate was going to have gender differences like Kantonese Raticate but GF got too lazy.

Morning or Eclipse Lycanroc for Pokemon Prism

Because it's for the minor After Eating Full Belly form
