Next Pokemon Thread VI: Unova Evolution/Capture/Release Speculation Arena

[shelldude400]

If riolu evolves I could see it evolving against Bianca's Emboar.

I think it's confirmed to evolve against Ash, but I'm not 100% sure, need someone to confirm that for me lol :P

[AceDetective]

So any guesses for Kotetsus final 2 pokemon, assuming he uses all his revealed ones against Ash he has two left to be revealed.

Personally I'd want Archanine, its my favourite pokemon, its in the new dex, it would be awsome to see Kotetsu with it

As for his sixth I'd like something of a type he didn't already have
- Fighting
- Steel
- Grass
- Water
- Dragon
- Dark

I would like to see him with Archanine so that's fire added so for his sixth maybe something like Golurk or Driftblim.

[Eneci]

I would give Koet a flying type, electric type or a bug type!!!!!

[I-am-the-peel]

I would give Koet a flying type, electric type or a bug type!!!!!

Hydreigon kinda fills the flying type since it's kinda got wings, but an electric type would be cool. Something like a Galvantula.

Something like Galvantula would fit..

Lucario
Samurott
Ferrothorn
Hydreigon
Arcanine: Though I'm not completely sold yet, because of Gary and Morrison owning the line as well, and there's Pete Pebbleman too..
Galvantula

On Pete Pebbleman: This means the line was focused on in three leagues already.. Aka Quilava, Steelix and Scizor: Overused in the leagues.

[Shraeder]

I'd like Kotetsu to have:

Riolu/Lucario
Hydreigon
Samurott
Ferrothorn
Arcanine
Eelektross/Galvantula

Not much different from yours Locormus, but just with a few extras. I'm still and Trip didn't get Galvantula though XD

I wouldn't want him to have Elektross as it appears Bianca has one.

[Eneci]

Lucario,Samurott, FerroThorn,Hydregion, Arcanine and Galvantula would be a pretty strong team. Gligath is a possibility as well cause of the calendar.

I really can't wait for this battle, seems like a good one.

[ludiloco]

A fire-type is something that Kotetsu needs, unless his Hydreigon already covers that with a fire-type move.

Ferrothorn covers the Electric-Type slot since it uses Thunderbolt, but Galvantula sounds neat.

A Flying-type could be awesome for him, I know Kenyan is already fighting a Braviary but Kotetsu can have one of his own.

If a flying type is necessary, I'd like Tropius to get some love.. I know he has Ferrothorn already, but that's more his Steel-type if anything I'd guess..

Lucario:
- Vacuum Wave, Circle Throw, Bone Rush, Aura Sphere
Samurott:
- Hydro Cannon, Aqua Jet, Razor Shell, Night Slash
Ferrothorn:
- Gyro Ball, Thunderbolt, Pin Missile, Energy Ball
Hydreigon:
- Outrage, Dark Pulse, Tri Attack, Rock Slide
Tropius:
- Air Slash, Leaf Tornado, Body Slam, Silver Wind
Simisear:
- Flame Burst, Grass Knot, Crunch, Yawn



Ash vs. Kotetsu:
- vs. : Oshawott after tripping over the Grass Knots, but KO'd it with Aqua Jet
- vs. : Withdrawn, because Oshawott fell asleep due to the Yawn..
- vs. : Snivy, for the epic lolz
- vs. : Switch. Tropius is a designated counter to Snivy with Flying and Bug-type moves.
- vs. : Boldore. Sandstorm countered Leaf Tornado, and Rock Blast hit for super effectivity.
- vs. : Switch. Boldore can't come in close for Rock Smash as Ferrothorn uses Pin Missile to defend.
- vs. : Scraggy. As it turned into a Energy Ball vs. Focus Blast fest, Scraggy pulls out the double FB and KO's Ferrothorn.
- vs. : Riolu. Scraggy is outclassed, KO'd by Vacuum Wave.
- vs. : Evolution, after a close battle.
- vs. : Lucario. As Aura Sphere and Electro Ball collide, Lucario follows up with Bone Rush which KO's Pikachu.
- vs. : Lucario. Lucario overpowers the 'Wott after a Razor Shell vs. Bone Rush and Hydro Pump vs. Vacuum Wave-clash.
- vs. : Pignite, manages to win after using Fire Pledge after Flame Charge.
- vs. : Hydreigon. Pignite tried to faint it with Fire Pledge, Hydreigon rams it through the columns in Outrage, losing control.
- vs. : Hydreigon. After Snivy dodges most of its Outrage, Kotetsu regains control, and Snivy gets frozen solid by a Tri Attack, and DP'd.
- vs. : Evolution. After getting covered with a Rock Slide, Boldore evolves and emerges as a Gigalith.
- vs. : Gigalith. After a huge Flash Cannon vs. Dark Pulse collision, Gigalith is left standing.

Ash wins.

Sorry Arcanine friends, I ditched him for this generic monkey that didn't get to fight Ash in the Donamite

[Mean Mr. Snorlax]

Kotetsu:

Lucario Fight+Steel
Hydreigon Dark+Dragon
Samurott Water
Ferrothorn Steel+Grass+Electric
Arcanine/Darmanitan/Camurupt/Houndoom Fire(+Dark/Ground)
Galvantula/Nidoking/Skarmory/Scizor Steel/Bug/Poison + Flying/Bug/Electric/Ground

I'm thinking his last two slots should be Fire- and wildcard, as Hydreigon kind of fills in as a flying type

Best case scenario with the given pokes he will have 10 types on his team.

If a flying type is necessary, I'd like Tropius to get some love.. I know he has Ferrothorn already, but that's more his Steel-type if anything I'd guess..

Lucario: Fighting-type + Steel
Samurott: Water-type
Ferrothorn: Steel-type + Grass, but also covers Electric
Hydreigon: Dragon-type + Dark
Tropius: Grass-type + Flying
Simisear: Fire-type

Tropius is completly redundent, since Hydriegon flies with levitate, so it subs in as a flyer.
Simisear doesn't showcase old pokemon, does it?

Excuse me, but frickin' read the post I quoted before coming at me like this. The person suggested:

A Flying-type could be awesome for him, I know Kenyan is already fighting it but Kotetsu can have his own Braviary.

So, I replied to a post stating an addition of a Flying-type - aside from Hydreigon, as the user obviously acknowledged it already -, and in this case the poster also suggested a fifth generation pokemon.

My response:
- Tropius: A Flying-type. Hence not redundant.
- Simisear: A fifth generation pokemon that hasn't gotten much love due to being KO'd in the Donamite in a few seconds.

I could say the same about you as well, how do Galvantula or Darmanitan showcase older pokemon? I opted not to go for Arcanine because of its line being overused in the leagues already:
- Pete Pebbleman: Arcanine vs. Pikachu
- Gary: Arcanine vs. Snorlax
- Morrison: Growlithe vs. Corphish

I don't want the line in the league yet again.. I still like it, but it can do without the league presence.

u've outdone urself my friend . though two evolutions in one battle seems a bit of a hyperbole.

[pokemonsquared]

Virgil

Dragon Eeveelution

Outrage
Draco Meteor
OVerheat
Extremespeed.

Cue ash getting stomped harder than garchomp beat paul.

[jh941]

My prediction for Ashs team come end of Unova (not including potential filler saga)

I think there may be one more evolution left for him, but i'm not 100% sure which out of the options I included

Pikachu - Done
Unfezant - Done
Oshawatt - As its learnt Hydro Pump I'd say its done
Pignite - Already a powerhouse, I don't think it needs to evolve again
Snivy/Servine - I could see it evolving during a league battle
Scraggy/Scrafty - I could see it evolving away from battle, like in the upcoming 'Axew episode'
Leavanny - Done
Palpitoad/Seismetoad - Probably the most unlikely to evolve for me, the only real reason I think it could is due to following Krabby
Boldore - I want it to evolve, but I just don't see it now
Krookodile - Done

Out of all of them, I'd say Snivy is the most likely.

If a flying type is necessary, I'd like Tropius to get some love.. I know he has Ferrothorn already, but that's more his Steel-type if anything I'd guess..

Lucario:
- Vacuum Wave, Circle Throw, Bone Rush, Aura Sphere

- Outrage, Dark Pulse, Tri Attack, Rock Slide

- Flame Burst, Grass Knot, Crunch, Yawn

Love this prediction, not 100% sure about 2 evos in one battle but I love it all the same.

[FlyAsADunsparce]

I kinda hope Kotetsu owns either a Sigilyph, Galvantula, Beheeyem, Klinklang, Amoonguss, Durant or Maractus because I feel like we haven't seen any of those in an official battle yet really.

[Ciccone]

- vs. : Evolution. After getting covered with a Rock Slide, Boldore evolves and emerges as a Gigalith.
- vs. : Gigalith. After a huge Flash Cannon vs. Dark Pulse collision, Gigalith is left standing.

I thought Boldore had to be traded in order for it to evolve. Also, didn't someone from the anime's staff confirm that Boldore wouldn't evolve because it would be too difficult to draw Gigalith? This obviously wasn't an issue when Gigalith first debuted since it was just one episode, but it would be a problem if Ash had one since it would appear more often. Just don't ask me for receipts because I'm only repeating what I read in one of the threads a few months ago and I don't have a link to this information.

A few of our members confirmed to be false.

I thought it was Fraxure that'd be difficult to animate, since Axew often resides in Iris' hair. The reasoning behind Boldore apparently not being destined for evolution was that it needs to be traded, though the guy mentioned that Trip's Gurdurr did evolve. That's what I remember reading, at least.

That was the only thing stated, nothing about it being hard to animate.
