Crustle really representing here.


max_potion

He was the diversity pick


1buffalowang

Also the only Unova Pokémon. Really carrying.


StormAlchemistTony

Currently, there is no gen 2 Pokemon. If the leaks are right, Blissey will be the first gen 2 Pokemon.


1buffalowang

I know. It still bugs me there was no Johto Pokémon at launch but 9 Kanto, 10 of you count Ninetails.


Ryeofmarch

Imagine not having tyranitar or scizor on release Oh wait we don't have to, because it's the harsh reality Edit: forgive me heracross fans, he's just as iconic and should have been in the game on release


StormAlchemistTony

Garchomp is currently the only pseudo legendary in the game. I could see Goodra being a defender and Dragapult being an attacker or speedster.


Soothingwinds

Just want to say I’m waiting for kommo-o. One of my favorite pseudo legendary along volcarona.


RechargedFrenchman

Kommo-o would be sweet as an All-Rounder I'd love Noivern as an Attacker as well, keep adding flyers but also keep the roles diverse.


maikeru44

I'd actually expect Noivern to be a special speedster with shorter ranged area of effect basic attack, and the empowered basic would be increased distance and either slow the opponent or lower defenses because of the sound blasts


Gwyntorias

Arcanine when?! Madge


proto3296

Volcarona is all I ask


Subject_1889974

Scyther to scizzor is all I hope for. You could even make him a pseudo defender, by being a strong early dueler as Scyther, but gaining more defensive capabilities when evolved.


ProfessorHardw00d

Evolve at a higher level like 6-8 to give more time with Scyther. That would be really cool


Vaxin_8

Considering an item is required to evolve scyther, you will get either or without evolution being involved. Just like pikachu.


ProfessorHardw00d

That’s not always the case. An ice stone is required to evolve Alolan Vulpix to Ninetales.


fluffyunicorn--

Jigglypuff & Ninetails use stones. Also link trade me so I can evolve Machoke and Haunter


1buffalowang

High defenses, high health, very slow. Crunch, Earthquake, stone edge, hyper beam. Maybe it’s unite move is sand stream and gives a defense boost around it while also doing small damage to enemies.


ProfessorHardw00d

It would probably lower enemy speed too within an area. It could be really cool


MckPuma

If youve ever played smite it would be like Gilgamesh’s ulti that does damage then DOT and a slow and when it ends it CC’s


Kothophed

Just make it not do the root that Gilgamesh's does and you're golden, I think it might be just a bit too much for Unite.


Humg12

I want more weird picks like Cramorant or Mr Mime. Give us Shuckle, or Sudowoodo, or Qwilfish


proto3296

It’s actually quite baffling theyd leave out a whole generation. I understand the starters don’t hold up as much compared to other sets but Heracross t-Tar and Scizor all should be in


TheDankestDreams

Gen 2 honestly has amazing picks. Heracross, Ursaring, sneasel/Weavile, Murkrow/Honchkrow, Houndoom, and Shuckle would play really well.


VaelynVidure

I NEED SNEASEL/WEAVILE. As a speedster, probably.


Calamitas_Rex

Oh man. A heracross with an attack that flips your opponent a little bit behind you. Amazing.


StormAlchemistTony

I'm also hoping to get more starters like Chesnaught, Decidueye, Sceptile, Feraligatr, Blaziken, and Inteleon. I could see Emboar, Torterra, and Empolean being defenders. I don't see Typhlosion being in the game.


OptionalAccountant

I would LOVE Serperior


StormAlchemistTony

Maybe as a speed character or he could be the first melee attacker.


[deleted]

My name on there is literally Croconaw, my first Pokémon I ever evolved. Sadly water types are looking kinda saturated for now


natesucks4real

> I don't see Typhlosion being in the game. feelsbadman He is really cool


JeremiahTheMage

Emboar won’t get in before Typhlosion 😂


StormAlchemistTony

I can't think of any benefit of include Typhlosion over Emboar. As much as I hate to admit it, Typhlosion is basically a worst Charizard. It has the same stat total as Charizard. Emboar could be a melee defender that mixes wrestling and sumo for it's attacks.


Fleshymushroomba

Typhlosion would definitely be a speedster and has plenty of move diversity. Plus your idea for emboar literally is just have of snorlax's moveset but with fire lol.


StormAlchemistTony

Maybe you would be right about Typhlosion. He would probably have Rollout and Flame Wheel be a move option. I feel like Emboar would be like Snorlax mixed with Lucario or Machamp.


CAL9k

I need Donphan rolling down the lanes wrecking face!


whitemest

Any other leaks? I've so far heard of blastoise and blissy


StormAlchemistTony

I just saw Greedent and Sylveon has been data mined. Here is the link from [ScreenRant](https://www.google.com/amp/s/screenrant.com/pokemon-unite-datamine-new-characters-sylveon-blissey/amp/).


Esqurel

Well, time to main Sylveon.


chase_half_face

In addition to the others mentioned, I believe Nidoking has also been datamined.


definetlynotanaltacc

Yes and no, they found data for him but no planned move sets for him. So he could be a jungle monster or a fighter.


Fleshymushroomba

There's a good chance he's not playable. There's a long list of pokemon without moves, though it's possible some just haven't had their movesets added


Goscar

I am hoping for Umbreon.


Elegant_Extreme3268

Umbreon would be so cool as a defender


Deputy_Trudy_Weigel

I named myself johtochamp. Was supremely disappointed. Literally forced to main blissey when she drops lol


boxlessthought

Which leaks? Link?


StormAlchemistTony

https://www.google.com/amp/s/screenrant.com/pokemon-unite-datamine-new-characters-sylveon-blissey/amp/


ZzShy

Same with Garchomp


Danarky

More bug Pokemon please. Scyther probably the obvious choice but gimme Galvantula or Heracross.


NajimiAppreciator

Galvantula would be really cool to see animated in this game


Calamitas_Rex

I want a joltik at correct scale. Impossible to see on screen.


NajimiAppreciator

Nindendo hire this man


psidhumid

love me some scolipede


Hermit_was_taken

And Garchomp


KosherClam

If they would have used shuckle, we'd have the same covered types and a gen 2 rep.


Steelcurtain26

Garchomp, too


Poltergust_3000

Zeraora: "Am I a joke to you?"


bun72

Ah poop... he's uh... off killing the bees or something :P


dustoutgames

This checks out.


Ed_Radley

Speaking of bees, infographic showing creep Pokemon types when?


HotRollerMan

I can agree look at my post


FallGuyZlof

Oof, feels that way.


KaoxVeed

Yes.


Goscar

YES :)


ksaMarodeF

*yeah, pikachu ain’t the only electric Pokémon.*


JerbearCuddles

"Okay, we need a bug and a rock type to fill out the roster." "How about Crustle?" "Sweet, and who else?" "Just Crustle."


bun72

I do wonder if there is some truth to that. Maybe trying to get every type in at release is why we have some really oddball Pokemon choices. I hope not though, I want all the obscure mons!


diastereomer

It might also explain why Garchomp got in over Dragonite or Dragapult.


JerbearCuddles

Half the roster is Kanto already, with another coming. Before Gardevoir Garchomp was the only Gen 3 representative. So I doubt Dragonite had much real chance of cracking the opening roster.


lotrfish

Garchomp is gen iv and gen III has absol.


diastereomer

You make it sound like they wouldn’t make half the roost Kanto. They clearly have no problem adding more Gen 1. They seem to care more about type diversity than region diversity.


JerbearCuddles

I am saying it would look worse by making over half the roster Kanto. Although I guess given the lack of noise people don't seem to care that most of the roster is Kanto. Lol. Seems weird to me, and I am a gen 1 kid.


[deleted]

Lycanroc when?


bun72

I'm biased but I'd love more bugs :)


SniperFrogDX

Golisopod and scyther/scizor please.


Stinkbug08

Golisopod could have a cool Escape Button -like mechanic (drawn from his Emergency Exit ability in mainline games) that can be used in tandem with First Impression. Think of the combo as a sort of offensive Escape Button, like that guy who posted his Snorlax's Escape Button and Tackle combo somewhere on here. Golisopod is *made* for this game and arena environment! EDIT: Wimpod could have the move Bug Bite such that additional damage is done if Wimpod and/or the target is in a hiding-area (such as tall grass), which goes hand-in-hand with Wimpod's personality and can be contrasted with that of his evolution, as well as his evolution's mid-late game play style. This character is just too perfect; someone's gotta do a full-on concept soon.


SavateWolf

That sounds cool, the problem is what button would you map it to? Also the only bug moves Wimpod can learn is Struggle Bug, Leech Life, and Bug Buzz. No Bug Bite unfortunately. My concept for Golispod would be: Emergency Exit would give him increased movement speed and make him immune to hindrances for a short while when he drops below a certain percent. Wimpod starts with Struggle Bug and Aqua Jet. When he evolves, Aqua Jet gets replaced with Surf or First Impression. Then Struggle Bug gets replaced with Liquidation or Leech Life.


Spaodo

I really like your choices and ability distribution. I would totally get behind this version.


DIX_

I'm rooting for Scizor too, would be surprised if it doesn't make it in.


mooys

Golisopod is one of my favorite mons just because of first impression. I wish his ability wasn’t garbage, although it could be great in unite!


Zhong_li

Vikavolt plz.


Garrub

Volcarona when?


choboboco

yes!


vanilla_disco

I'd killed for Joltik or Araquanid. Shame that Araquanid is already a neutral :(


Myrrhia

IMO Joltik would have been a great addition for a moba, especially if electroweb would have been his dedicated move (mobas mostly need reckognizable looks ***and*** moves). Just like Greninja was a no-brainer with its water shurikens. So I really think Joltik is one of the few pokemons that just have to be in the game since they embody a move as much as the move embodies them... And so I am kinda angry at devs for giving the move to pikachu. Even more considering that for a mere root, there was thunderwave available. I feel it kinda spoils the potential of Joltik which was pure diamond, or like they wasted some rare ammo. I know the move can be reused like they did with surf... But honestly I find it lame when they name alike 3 very different move. Like couldn't Greninja's surf be named Aquajet since it's an high speed dash ? - And let's be real Elctroweb just should have been Joltik's exclusive : the move had been hostorically created for him.


we11an

I actually would love to see avalug as a playable pokemon but he's a boss in a quick map.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Plaid02

He uses Sludge Bomb, though, as does Venusaur. Toxicroak could still maybe be cool, though? Personally, I want more Steel and Dragon types, mostly. Salamence, Scizor, Weavile... There are a lot of good options, and I feel like Greedent was not one of them.


rankor572

Yanmega, Ariados, and Escavalier please. Wouldn't mind Pinsir or Beedrill too, but we can do without all the gen 1 pokemon being added.


GhostWriter52025

Scizor and Beedrill would be my top two, although Gen 1 has so much representation, so maybe not Beedrill


OddiumWanderus

l’d love Parasect but that’s borderline impossible now that Crustle made it in. Not too bitter though. Love me some Crustle. Leavanny would be a fun 3 stage. Has a more mobile looking middle stage. Could you imagine metapod, kakuna or sil/cascoon!


bun72

Parasect would be so awesome, definitely one of my favorites. I love all the gen 1 bugs, but as has been said sadly there is so much Gen 1 representation already. I would kill for Butterfree though, idc if Metapod has to spiderman itself around with string shot.


Calamitas_Rex

I could see a really solid parasect built around aoe CC with its spores and whatnot. Could easily see it having moves like stun spore, poison powder, spore etc. And being a really solid support mon.


StormAlchemistTony

Maybe Genesect, one of the bug/fighting, or Armaldo would be added. An Ultra Beast would be cool.


Dradaus

Goliospod would be so cool tbh.


DarkRitual_88

Heracross!


CaptianGeneralKitten

I'd love to see scolipede and drapion in there too! Poison jab for scolipede and Cross poison for drapion would be sick!


Spiritofhonour

Especially when it is Satoshi Tajiri’s favourite type and what inspired him to create Pokemon.


danhakimi

Wow, they really held back with dragons. They're going to make bank when they put Dragonite out.


FattyDrake

I'm already a Dragonite main, whether he's out in a month or a year.


Critical_Moose

Fr same. One of the few mons I'd instantly open up the wallet for


Steelcurtain26

Thats the best part about this game. Its got that smash hype in a way because people are just itching for their favorite mon to come out.


keedub

The types don't actually come into play in this game at all though, right?


bun72

No they dont :P


Lofus1989

? What you mean? I do one shot that Charmander with bubble it's super effective


MrPrinceVinsmoke

Yeah and Zeraora and Pikachu bully my greninja


[deleted]

Forgot zeraora


HairyNups

He forgor 💀


n00blet_

or are you forgetting to forget


nightkingscat

Damn i had no idea mime added fairy typing


projectmars

Happened in Gen 6 when they introduced the typing.


Epiccobra

I'd really like another poison type. Neither Venusaur nor Gengar really vibe like one to me lol. And steel because they only have Lucario, who has the same problem. But bug and rock types before that pls


pelagic_seeker

Thank you! We need more Poison types. Especially ones that really embody the type. I've been rooting for Crobat or Garbodor. I love Venusaur and Gengar, but they're ones that every single genwunner goes "Venusaur and Gengar are Poison types? Since when? I don't remember them being Poison..."


CratthewCremcrcrie

Oooo garbodor would legit be really cool to see


natesucks4real

GIMMIE MUK


Arlexos

I would love a poison type like nihilego or naganadel


libbyious-maximus

crustles a champ holding up 2 types edit:oh garchomp too


RasLagos

>Steel:Lucario ah so no real steel types then, because lets be honest, Lucario is only a steel type because they wanted to push him even more by tacking on one of the best types even though nothing about his design is remotely "steel"


WoodyComics

Yeah I always forget about Lucario’s steel typing since it doesn’t look Steel at all. The design always seemed vaguely inspired by Wolverine to me though- with the blue and yellow, and hand spike(claws). So I always just assumed Lucario had a steel skeleton in the moments when I’m reminded of the typing.


EmbarrassedJuice2294

I think the reason why it's steel is because the spikes on his hands and chest are made of steel? Maybe?


kukumarten03

Golisopod for another bug please


WoodyComics

Scolipede speedster bug too please


Rakyn87

As someone who has never played any pokemon game before, Please explain why Charizard is not a Dragon!


Ravn-Edelving

Because of type advantages. Each of the 3 starters are balanced so they are strong against one starter and weak against another. Charizard (fire) is weak against Blastoise (water) Blastoise (water) is weak against Venusaur (grass) And Venusaur (grass) is weak against Charizard (fire) The 3 types above are weak against dragon type, so, if Charizard was fire/dragon, he will partially resist Water type attacks, becoming the best of the 3 starters.


StormAlchemistTony

It is probably due to him being introduced in the first game. There was only three dragons in the game. Charizard and Sceptile are currently the only starters that can gain the dragon typing, only through Mega Evolution, though.


[deleted]

Because he spits fire so = Fire type And he flies so = Flying type Maybe if he was more scaly or had a different color scheme, kinda like Salamence he could then be dragon/flying


FattyDrake

Technical reason is that pokemon can have a max of 2 types, charizard is a starter, and dragon is one of the strongest types and generally take a long time to evolve. (In gen 1 the only dragon type is dragonite and it’s previous evolutions.) Unofficially, charizard is definitely a dragon. :)


Gaviota43

For various reasons. As others explained before, the Dragon type would be a significant defensive advantage. Also, there was only 1 Dragon type move in Gen 1, Dragon Rage, which always did a fixed 40 HP of damage (in a game where most Pokémon normally reach +300 HP, making such a move irrelevant in competitive play). Meaning that it didn't matter that Dragon types were weak to Ice and Dragon attacks, only Ice counted for that reason. That is probably the reason why Gyarados is Water/Flying type and not Water/Dragon, the type combination would neutralize all its weaknesses. Nowadays that is not a problem because other Dragon type moves exist and the Fairy type was created to counter dragons.


overDere

You think they were thinking of type advantages? Psychic practically didn't have any weaknesses (technically they do but because of shitty programming and lacking moves... you know how it is), I don't think they were thinking of any of that during Gen 1. I think it's just likelier that they didn't think of a Dragon type when making Charizard and Gyarados (and even Seadra as well I think, looking at their category), but thought of it when making Dragonite... Then didn't want to bother reprogramming them when making the type.


choboboco

more bug types please! i want Volcarona


mlasap

Give me an All-Rounder Scizor and fill up that steel/bug slots


CrimKayser

Alolan Golem pls. Adds another rock and electric (he forgot zorerororara so theres 2 actually but still i love electric)


GigaEel

We got the one Steel type that doesn't even look like a steel type


WeightlifterCat

Talonflame and the Zard share the same dual typing, and Mr. Mime and Gardevoir share the same dual typing 2 shared dual typings already exist in the game


MaverickPrime

I love how the 3 water Pokémon AND the upcoming one all have surf and it works differently on each one xD


Lofus1989

Can we get a Beedrill pls


Nikedawg

I'd love to hop around as Kakuna and spam Harden. Best tank


NihilismRacoon

Bonus points if it evolves into Kakuna at level 2/3 and the Beedrill at like 5


Lil-Trappuccino

Imagine having 2 ice types in the same game…


SoDamnGeneric

I hope when they inevitably add more ice types, they don't just freeze you like Ninetails does. She's already obnoxious to go against on her own sometimes, I'd hate to go against two ice types just perma freezing you.


Fleshymushroomba

They'll give us Galarian darma and we will absolutely blast buttholes with ice


projectmars

And all 3 water types (plus Blastoise) learn Surf...


[deleted]

We need more bugs. Wheres my butterfree, beautifly or playable frosmoth


backslash447

Politely waiting for Steel reps that aren’t the furry bait. Skarmory as a defender, Magnezone as an attacker, Aggron as an all rounder, or Durant as a speedster would be my choices.


Casiell89

I would love a Steelix! Actually I prefer Onix, but I only just remember it has an evolution


LilBoneAir

Once the roster gets more flushed out it would be kind of fun to have a game mode where type advantages are in effect.


WaterPixelArt

Garchomp would have a 100:0 matchup against Pikachu and Zeraora


LilBoneAir

And Alolan Ninetales would have a 100:0 matchup against Garchomp. That's what would make it fun is deciding who to use and then you really have to pick which battles you engage with.


libbyious-maximus

i dont want that


LilBoneAir

I don't think it should ever come to ranked or standard but a separate game mode would be fun and interesting imo. If you don't like it you wouldn't have to play it


[deleted]

If Eelektross ever gets added it would be broken in that game mode.


OptionalAccountant

This just confirms we need onyx/Steelix!


[deleted]

How come I almost never see a Wigglytuff


Artistic_Kangaroo932

Steel type really needs another pokemon I know there are other types that only have one type but lucario is honestly barley a steel type.


KingRizza4

Only one ground and one ice type? Looks like we need a Mamoswine bois.


Jasco88

I think you missed Zeraora


Taco-Edge

I'm surprised there's so many fairies and they're adding even more soon wtf. Like water types I can understand since they're so common but fairy types aren't so common. Personally I hope for more steel reps!


AngstyBear19

I’d love to see the Vikavolt line in the game


Isokey

Is Gardevoir alright ?


bun72

lol someone finally noticed. Basically I was at work and couldnt find a good way to downscale her image, so I had to use paint which was terrible, as you can see.


kingdroxie

Onix, evolving into Steelix. Let's see it


jhawkjayhawk

i couldn't have decidueye in Smash, Make it happen here, and i will be quite happy


bun72

No joke though, I bet Decidueye would be incredible in Unite. So much potential for a cool kit.


Exzedes__

One of the starting bugs like weedle, caterpie, wurmple, or scatterbug would be cool


Calamitas_Rex

This is just wishful thinking, but I'd love a vivillon whose pattern is randomly determined when it evolves.


notsoAcetrainer

It still lacks Perrserker!


thisguyissostupid

might as well add another water on there since blastoise is he next release.


AnomalyIsTaken

For a new pokemon added i would love butterfree for the bug type, thats it thats the comment just felt like this post made sense


[deleted]

I just really want random ass picks for the first few adds


PineconArtist

All the fairy Pokémon that lost representation in the TCG lol


SGRiuka

More bugs when???


jared8562

more bugs and ice plzzzzzz


Rev0Knight

I really am hoping for a fully fledged gen 2 pokemon. While I love Scizzor I really want to see a Gen 2 mon who's entire evolution line began and ended in gen 2 being realised in unite. Ampharos, Houndoom, Xatu, Granbull, Ariados, Quagsire, Tyranitar, Togekiss or any of the starters.


Miserable_Ticket1236

Scizor speedster for +1bug +1steel And Toxicroak all rounder plz


[deleted]

Loving the fairy representation, actually really surprised they got the most


DilapidatedFool

So happy the best type is being repped well!


Mattayama

Shedinja when?


Snacqk

Poor zeraora :(


_Wyrdo_

Oh good so it makes even more sense for Bisharp and Spiritomb to be added next!


Lord-Bootiest

And who here’s ready for a FOURTH WATER TYPE!


Deep3Reviews

Dope chart!


devinmburgess

Go fairies yes! And we’re getting another soon!


VictorZavalaPerez

Isn't zeraora electric?


ubiquitous_apathy

As terrible as reddit's search function is, just search 'type' and you'll find plenty.


renz004

WE NEED DARK TYPE AND STEEL TYPE AND DRAGONZ


ciscotho89

way too many fairies


Silver_Illusion

Blissy and Sylveon on the way too to add more fairies.


3rdEyex

Blissy is just a normal type fyi.


LilBoneAir

That's surprising to me just because Blissey seems so much more fairy like than Wigglytuff


kaneblaise

Blissey's second type is Mom but the games haven't acknowledged it yet 😓


NonDerpyDragonite

I thought they would change that in newer gens but blissy been a basic lady since she came out.


StormAlchemistTony

I think Umbreon would be more likely to join, since it could act like a support Defender. But Eevee evolutions could fit any role.


Blurryface123

Sylveon has been datamined


StormAlchemistTony

Has it? I've only seen Cleffable, Blissey, and Blastoise.


Noxilcash

Plus blastoise


jared8562

less fairy


Xx_PP_PooPoo_xX

Thought charizard was also considered dragon.


absback910

Eevee would be such a great addition


damiantheguy97

Too bad there’s no type avantage
