>Concept art shows that Nihilego transformed by absorbing

>>32207094
So nihilego could potentially gain access to a stronger form of itself by absorbing crystals? huh

What if that's what necrozma's true/alternate form is going to be about?

>>32207094
Huh those are not Z-Stones.

Those are supposed to be the neurotoxins that are going down in order to control the prey.

>>32207112
A Pokemon powered by Z crystals would be pretty neat

I recall false leaks about Marshadow being a Psychic/??? type that could change its secondary type in some fashion

The same sheet shows Nihilego possessing Pikachu and it maintains its regular form while doing so.

The form it took when it merged with Lusamine was a result of her Z-Crystals.

>>32207135
There was also "leaks" about a normal type cat that could change its secondary typing through breeding or something. The idea's always been popular.

Instead we just got shitty Arceus.

>>32207148
Maybe we'll get some kind of unified Z-Crystal called Necrozium Z or Nihilium Z that can do that.

Although that would be weird because nihil basically means "nothing"

>>32207094
Its just more stuff they were too lazy to implement into the story. The Ultra Beasts in general were massively under utilised. Its like they were too afraid to use them out of fear of offending genwunners. Thats why the majority of them only appear in a simple catching side quest since according to masuda the casuals are just going to put the game down after the elite 4

Sometimes I forget that people on this board are retarded enough to not realise Nihilego references actual psychology and neurology and is so far the most advanced/developed/mature Pokémon concept in the franchise.

Someone put all this effort into it and it gets wasted on retards.

Nihilego-MB will be the 670 BST alt form introduced next game

>lusamine has Z-Crystals
>that means she participated in the island challenge

Why they dont show this in the game

>>32207148
>>32207135
Z-Crystals are just concentrated Ultra Space energy aren't they?

So isn't this like getting a super concentrated version of Beast Boost?

>>32207094
i thought this was obvious, as the mother beast lusamine has a z-crystal in all it's tentacles

>>32207853
What

>>32209362
The "nihil" is short for "nihilism"

>>32209309
Too bad the games never ever even used or referenced any of this, so we're left with nothing but some colourful triangles that might as well just be part of its design for all we know.

>>32207682
Why do you insist on shoving Necrozma into the discussion when it has zero relevance to the topic

>>32207151

Type Null was the normal type cat that can change its type

They probably got a look at the Memory type thing and thought it had to do with breeding

>Z-Crystals are just concentrated Ultra Space energy aren't they?
Yes they are. Z-Power is literally just a weaker, much more temporary Beast Boost (in-universe). Though you gotta wonder why it's so different from Beast Boost mechanic-wise, and why it's called "Z", and how the crystals even came to be.

>>that means she participated in the island challenge
Not really. Bitch has money.

>>32207094
That's official art? Cute.
