Anyone else think that UBs are going to be the Pokemon equivalent of raid bosses?

Man I hope so, something that takes your full party to take down since they're not considered Pokemon. True boss battles.

Legendaries are so underwhelming as boss fights since they can quite easily be one-shot.

I fucking hope Zygarde isn't shiny locked in S&M.

I need that minty-fresh looking motherfucker.

I just hope they get rid of shiny locking, it's really lame how we had to wait for shiny Xerneas and Yveltal to be events, it really doesn't help that Smyths had a limited number of codes

I'm guessing that UBs =/= Pokémon. They're entirely separate creatures--which has a lot of interesting implications.

If you can catch them, you won't be able to use Poké Balls--there'll be some other way.

What's more interesting is that, judging by their designs so far, it looks to me like they're going in a completely different direction. They don't look anything like how a Pokémon should look; they look more like something out of a Shin Megami Tensei game. Which isn't a bad thing; it's actually kind of exciting.

Maybe at this point, they figured that the typical Pokémon's cutesy/cartoonish/relatable designs are too limiting. So, by introducing an entirely new life form, they're no longer burdened by this restriction. Whereas most Pokémon are based off of familiar, recognizable elements of real life, the UBs we've seen so far are just so bizarre-looking, in a cool and mysterious way. Like, what the fuck is UB-01 supposed to be? Some kind of jellyfish alien thing?

I can only hope future UBs will introduce some eldritch Lovecraftian shit down the line. Judging by the serial coding of "01," "02," etc. it's safe to assume that there'll be at least 10 of these things. Pretty exciting.

I think it's funnier that poison and bug were super effective against each other, and now they're not very effective against each other. A complete reversal.

PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE.

i dunno

to work, it would have to be faster than talonflame, and talonflame is pretty fucking fast as it is

and that nullifies so many other pokémon, too, like charizard and any flying/bug/ice type

I don't like Regigigas design wise, but he's pretty cute in plush form.
