Shitty Gen X Speculation, Pre-Gen VIII

Continuation of this. Likely will be reposted after Gen VIII and Gen IX are fully datamined.

Notes on primary early Bug-types

How to improve: 088-089: Grimer-Muk

1.Stats: Should Muk get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?
Muk can get at most +40 BST.

An evo that is similar to Rhyperior can work.

A Mega would be fine.

2.Should Muk get more abilities?

Limber is an option.

3.Should Muk get more moves?

Recover, almost certainly. Drain Punch is another option.

4.What additional typing Muk can have?

Ground, Fire, Electric, Ghost and Water options. Water is largely thematic.

How to improve: 027-028: Sandshrew-Sandslash

1.Stats: Should Sandslash get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

+55 to match Ninetales is a possibility.

However, an evolution makes the most sense.

A Mega would need Huge Power to be relevant.

2.Should Sandslash get more abilities?

Tough Claws is a option.

3.Should Sandslash get more moves?

Psycho Cut and Night Slash are options.

4.What additional typing Sandslash can have?

Poison, Dark and Rock are options.

How to improve: 102-103: Exeggcute-Exeggutor

1.Stats: Should Exeggutor get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

+10 BST is most Exeggutor can get.

A middle evolution would be more fitting if it wasn't a stone Evolution.

A Mega would be very fitting, but most focus on Speed.

2.Should Exeggutor get more abilities?

Yes. Leaf Guard, Grassy Surge, Synchronize, Psychic Terrain and other stuff are options.

3.Should Exeggutor get more moves?

Stored Power is an option. Dragon Dance is another for Alolan Variant.

4.What additional typing Exeggutor can have?

Normal, Poison and Fire are options. Ground is another.

How to improve: 052-053: Meowth-Persian

1.Stats: Should Persian get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Persian can get +15 BST to match Primeape, and at maximum can get +100 BST.

Both forms would enjoy an evolution.

A Mega without Fur Coat for both would be a waste.

2.Should Persian get more abilities?

Speed Boost and Prankster are options. Pickpocket is another option.

3.Should Persian get more moves?

Swords Dance would be nice.

4.What additional typing Persian can have?

Dark and Normal variants already exist, so Electric and Fairy are options.

Notes on USUM Legendary Beasts

Entei and Raikou are now version exclusives. With this info, only Legendary Birds and Pixie trio remain as the trios without a version exclusivity.


Similarly, only Legendary Golems and Pixies remain as the minor trios without a dependence on starters.

This could imply that Legendary Beasts' types will be the basis of the next major legendaries.

Going with the Rainbow Rocket

PWT had Champions and Elite Four
RR will have all villain teams.
This leaves Rivals, Professors, Elite Fours, and previous protags.

Rivals have been possible to battle in Stadium games, so most likely they will be the next major focus.

Professors generally can't fight, though recent ones have been significant bosses. Protags are similar.

How to improve: 290-292: Nincada-Shedinja

1.Stats: Should Shedinja get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Stats can be equalized to Ninjask.

An evolution can be granted.

A Mega cannot happen.

2.Should Shedinja get more abilities?

Sturdy is a possibility.

3.Should Shedinja get more moves?

Calm Mind would be fun.

4.What additional typing Shedinja can have?

Dark type can be granted.
