Today i'm talking about new things added in the 7th generation of Pokémon. I'm excluding the Ultra Beasts since i already talked about them. We are gonna talk about the other added Pokémon though.
The 7th Generation of Pokémon added 81 new Pokémon plus 18 Alolan forms, which are also a new thing introduced by this generation.
9 Bug-types
3 Dragon-types
1 Fairy-type
5 Fire-types
4 Ghost-types
4 Ground-types
12 Normal-types
6 Psychic-types
2 Steel-types
5 Dark-type
4 Electric-types
4 Fighting-types
1 Flying type
13 Grass-types
6 Poison-types
7 Rock-types
9 Water-types
Aaand 4 Ice-types
Also i added Oricorio as a single Flying type.
Generation 7 also added 80 new moves and 41 new abilities
We also got Z-moves, special types of strong moves that can only be used once per battle.
There are three different kinds of Z-Moves:
Z-Moves which can be used by any Pokémon, with one Z-Move for each type
Status moves that have been turned into Z-Moves by one of the type-specific Z-Crystals
Z-Moves that can only be used by specific Pokémon.
The Z-Move that a Pokémon can perform depends on the Z-Crystal it holds. There are 18 different Z-Crystals that correspond to each of the 18 types, and several others that correspond to specific Pokémon. Z-Moves work by powering up one of the Pokémon's normal moves, so the Pokémon must also know an appropriate move. For the type-related Z-Crystals, the Pokémon must know a move of the same type as the Z-Crystal it is holding. A Z-Ring is also required in order to perform Z-Moves. A Pokémon can only use a Z-Move if its Trainer is wearing a Z-Ring and has the same Z-Crystal the Pokémon is holding. Mega Pokémon cannot use Z-Moves, even when holding an appropriate Z-Crystal
We got a new evolutionary stone, the Ice-stone
We got the Totem Pokémon, which are a type of variant Pokémon that are battled at the end of every trial, having been trained up by the Trial Captain. These Pokémon appear larger and weigh approximately two to four times as much as other Pokémon of the same species. At the start of a battle, Totem Pokémon are enveloped in a special aura which boosts one or more of its stats by a fixed number of stages.
Hypertraining, new Pikachu forms, Ash greninja, Poké rides and a whole lot of other stuff!
I gotta say i'm very impressed and i'm so happy that we got so many improvements.
I'll probably make a post about Marshadow next week!
