People are actually "meh" to the Harambe memes. They're realizing that they're lemurs and orangutans and not gorillas.

Depending on the situation, Oranguru's move Instruct can really shift a tough Double or Triple battle towards its team's favor, particularly thanks to its Ability Telepathy. Smile

Pikachu's CatastroPika reminds me of this moment of Ash & Pikachu back in their early days of their adventure in Kanto.

My thoughts exactly! I'm already planning how I'll get both versions of Lycanroc. It looks so damn good!

And dat customization! I haven't been this excited for new Pokemon games in a good while.

Thanks to Sand Rush, Midday Form Lycanroc will prove to be quite a challenger while battling in a sandstorm with its increased Special Defense and Speed.

The Slakoth evolutionary family is patterned after sloths, but for some reason, Slaking also resembles a gorilla, so one can still expect Harambe memes from there.

Plus it will know Accelrock a new priority rock type move just for good measure. Honesty Midday form looks the most viable, Midnight form has trash abilities and counter nothing special at all the only thing that can safe it is stats, if he's surprisingly bulky (as in tank just about any hit) and a hard hitter that would balance it out

I can't wait to use Lycanroc on one of my teams, both of them. Maybe even my in-game team. Lycanroc Midday is adorable, and Lycanroc Midnight looks like a better Zoroark.

I'll bet there are limits as to what Instruct can do. Either that, or Instruct is Oranguru's signature move and Oranguru has some glaring weakness that counterbalances Instruct's usefulness.

Nothing regarding Passimian's Ability though? Whether it can inherit, say, Wonder Guard, Primordial Sea, Desolate Land, Delta Stream, Impostor, Prankster, Sturdy, Shadow Tag, Arena Trap, Speed Boost, Protean, Moody, Disguise, Snow Warning, Sandstream, Aerilate, Pixilate, or Refrigerate?

Omg, i cant. The Pikachu Move was dope, i loved it Anime hyper and Evees was hella cool, but its still a normal Type, so it needs some nice Attacks for that boost.

Eevee's Adaptability Ability should do wonders for it. Smile

I already pre-ordered the Moon version. I'm going with either Rowlet (having a Grass AND Flying Type in one will cover Types quite well for my team) or Litten (looks cute). I definitely want an Oranguru.

And defensively, there's always Eviolite.
