I imagine the flagship cards of each set after base will be the different Gigantimax forms like XY had it with Mega Evolutions. But since the sets are so hudge we will more than likely get all the new Pokemon within the first year. If all the SWSH sets have 200+ cards, we are looking at 2400 cards from its twelve sets.
I agree with this so much.
I think they won't revert the Poison typing the way it was before. If Poison represents by Grass, we assume all Plants are poisonous. And things like Muk has no relation to plants at all.
The reason I am harsh on this Pokemon is mostly that it's supposed to be "Tyranitar's sworn rival". I just don't get this sentiment as nothing about this Pokemon looks cool or menacing to me. I liked it at first because of the strange looking design but after it was described to be Tyranitar's rival that really made me scratch my head.
I can see that. That part I'm kinda like "Yeah no that doesn't look like something that could rival Tyranitar of all Pokemon. It's not even a pseudo legend..." But at the other hand, I always like the big monster lookin' Pokemon like the Nidos and whatnot. Duraludon is a little weird looking granted, but there's something about it I just really like.
Rock types are weak to Steel type moves. That alone is a good enough reason.
Maybe actually look at more designs before you make HUGE generalizations like that. And, for your information, the first 2 gens had the worst fudging designs and ideas ever. A purple pile of sludge? A fire dragon? Wow, creative!
That’s a bit subjective, though. Like personally I think every gen has good designs overall and it doesn’t really have to be creative to be effective. A lot of the first two gens are very simplistic yet effective in doing so. Look at something like Jigglypuff, it’s a ball with legs and a cute face. There’s not much to it, but it’s a memorable design nonetheless. Stuff that’s complex as well can be effective, such as the Kyurems, which have a LOT going on with them but they’re still effective.
