You know all these new idea's are great and all.

But what happens the moment they wind up having bad stats?

Or my favorite, good stats they can't benefit from with appropriate movepools?

Salandit is only a tier 1 pokemon, of course its stats are gonna be hot garbage. Either way, we already know that Salandit will have a good enough movepool, having access to toxic for wallbreaking and its fair to assume his movepool will be decent. The only issue i see is the typing is weak to a lot of things. I'd imagine giving an air balloon would make it better tho

Too bad poison is the worst status. Nice looking hopefully evolvable lizard "because-I-wanna-see-where-this-goes" though.

^ Actually, Toxic/badly poisoned is pretty good, and given how widespread Toxic is and that poison types have perfect accuracy with it starting in Gen 6, I can definitely see it being useful for getting past tanky poison and steel types (most poison and steel types are on the defensive side of things), or even Heatran.

As it stands, it has 8 resistances and only 4 types are super effective against it. But to be fair, the 4 types that are super effective against it (Water, Ground, Psychic, Rock) are pretty common types.

I realized a bit after my post that I was thinking relative to the more official formats like VGC and Battle Spot Singles (AKA 3 vs 3 instead of 6 vs 6) where poison isn't that great.
Also I didn't know about Toxic having 100% accuracy when used by Poison Pokemon, good to know.

I'm really loving these new Pokemon, the only one I could care less about is Togedemaru.
Drampa is my favorite out of all of them though.

Also, I'm curious if Salandit will get Toxic Spikes and if it's ability will work with it. Guess we'll have to wait and see

Mimikkyu is a qt, and the typing is fun, if not a little redundant in some types. Moveset might determine usefulness,

You forgot about Fire/Poison (Salandit) and Bug/Fairy (Cutiefly). Today there were also reveals for a Normal/Fighting (that isn't an alternate form) and a Ghost/Fairy type.

I like Mimicyu because it looks like a dead Pikachu and it can spread disease.

The trash panda kind of scares me though.

The new Hyper Training, according to the games' website, can increase the individual strengths of Pokemon.

^Hordes or it didn't happen.
EDIT: I read that wrong. Hyper Training apparently lets you change IVs.

It'll def bring me into competitive outside of Showdown.

EDIT as to not double post: What if mimikkyu was just a dead shroomish that no trainer ever caught, so it decided to dress as a pikachu for a second chance of getting captured by a trainer.
