(Typing from 3DS)

If I'm not mistaken we haven't seen X-scissor yet (in Best Wishes 2, well maybe Cilan's Crustle against Trip's Serperior), and remember dragon rush's one episode change.

Just because it looks a lot like cut doesn't mean it's cut.

Remember Gliscor's X-scissor, it was blue not purple like 5th gen animation(Dwebble/Crustle).

They may be going back to blue.

But in case it is cut, really writers, you looked at Leavanny and thought it needed a normal type attack? What tackle wasn't doing it for you?

They could change it. I have the same thoughts as you do. It looks kind of purplish to be honest too. On the sides that is.

The image that Lollipiece provided in the Krookodile and Hydreigon thread shows that it looks remarkably like X-scissor, it seems to be from a slightly different angle, and to me it looks like an X to me, and is more purple than Blue.

[ludiloco]

Leavanny's blades are crossed. I think that is scissor cross.

[jrizza88]

I root for X scissor too. I hope this means Unfezant learns another flying attack when/if she appears ^.^

[Lucario At Service]

But in case it is cut, really writers, you looked at Leavanny and thought it needed a normal type attack? What tackle wasn't doing it for you?

Well first of all it hadn't used Tackle since its evolution to Leavanny.

Next is the fact that if we take the Japanese name of Cut, which is Iaigiri (which means Iai Cut, where Iai is an art of sword cutting in three basic strokes, [point taken from the Reference Thread]), then we can see that it does fit with Leavanny to a certain degree as its both hands are like swords (and as Snivy has Leaf Blade they choose another blade like attack for it).

But i do agree that Leavanny does need a Bug type damaging move, but i guess the writers may want to keep String Shot as the only Bug type move for it.

Would be happy if it learned this new attack in place of Razor Leaf and this one isn't actually its 4th unknown move.

Edit: Seeing the new scans, it seems like the new attack for Leavanny may really be X-scissor.

[sSerenity]

X Scissor
String Shot
Energy Ball
Razor Leaf

Is a good moveset ... 2 ranged attacks, 1 melee attack, 1 support & creative attack

[Pepsi_Plunge]

If its cut I really won't mind, I wanted Leavanny with a slashing move, I prefer Cut then nothing.

[Papousse]

If Leavanny is using X-scissor, if you see on the Dwebble's X-scissor (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__..._X-Scissor.png), you'll see that his claws a shining blue, just like Leavanny is doing. Maybe Leavanny was going to do it but Sawk block it just before.

Now that we know the Pokemon that the rivals use, I feel very disappointed. At the beginning of the saga, we all thought we're gonna see a full team of each of Ash's rivals. Bianca has four Pokemon (and probably we're not gonna even see Escavalier which had so much potential), three Pokemon of Stephan, and not even one new Pokemon of Trip, which is whole team could be a real challenge for Ash.

She has 3, were not certain Elektross is hers..And were gonna see Excavalier take on Samurott

Has it been confirmed that Axew -Kibago- is not going to evolve in the episode titled Kibago gets lost? as others might have noticed I saw the article on bulbapedia for the episode afterword which is titled Dageki Appears Satoshi Vs. Kenyan, and it says in the pokemon appearances that Axew is set to appear. here is a link for the page:

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/BW106

Is that another stupid bulbapedia thing or is it true? Also by the looks of the pictures of that episode where Kotetsu Battles Bianca, t looks to me like Bianca Caught an Electross. I guess she is not catching Cuddly pokemon. -Hint, Hint, Mareep..... lots of people predicted it!-......
Here is the pic:


I guess Ash's Pignite -Chaoboo- didn't evolve after all because it s battling Kotetsu's Hydreigon. I remember seeing about ten pages ago in this thread that someone predicted him to have a Hydreigon! Bravo! A very poor Choice for pokemon Ash using Pignite against Hydreigon knowing that he doesn't know any fighting moves.... Wo knows maybe it will learn one in that episode.....

The scans didn't spoil much after all other than the obvious Ash beating Stephan, and battling Kutetsu in the round after that. no spoiled evelutions.... how unfortunate.....
in the episode " Kibago gets lost" it has been confirmed that a Garbodor is set to appear which gave me a flash back of Scraggy wanting to protect Kibago and Gothita from Garbodor in the Episode " Scraggy and the demanding Gothita".

OH I forgot to add this! The Attack that Leavanny is using against Sawk Does not look like cut to me.... It seems pretty obvious that it is indeed X-Scissor. Look at the shape of the X in the picture above

[Cresselia92]

My predictions for Kotetsu's team:

or

- Circle Throw
- Vacuum Wave > Aura Sphere
- Quick Attack > Extremespeed
- Force Palm > Metal Claw



- Aqua Jet
- Razor Shell
- Hydro Cannon
- Megahorn



- Pin Missile
- Thunderbolt
- Power Whip
- Gyro Ball



- Dragon Pulse
- Dark Pulse / Crunch
- Flamethrower / Fire Blast / Dragon Rush (if the animators decide to recycle animation)
- Outrage (since we know it will rampage and according to the description: "The user rampages and attacks for two to three turns. It then becomes confused, however." Sounds fitting.)

[AceDetective]

if Riolu evolves I'd personally like to see it with a steel move but otherwise I really like this prediction.

[ludiloco]

My predictions for Kotetsu's team:

or

- Circle Throw
- Vacuum Wave > Aura Sphere
- Quick Attack > Extremespeed
- Force Palm

Changew Force palm for another type move since he already has Circle throw and Vaccum Wave/Aura Sphere.

Flash cannon can be another good STAB move.

[Cresselia92]

Changew Force palm for another type move since he already has Circle throw and Vaccum Wave/Aura Sphere.

Flash cannon can be another good STAB move.

Or even Metal Claw. I put Force Palm since it's a sort of pseudo-signature move that revolves around Aura. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind any other attack.

Is that an Elektross battling Ferrothorn? Wonder who owns that and is also battling Koteshu...*Prays for Bianca*

[IcySealeo]

Has is been confirmed that she will use Escavalier against Samurott?

[AceDetective]

yes it has. which is why I said we would see it. not sure where the confirmation. is though
