My opinions: **Wooloo:** It’s decent enough and fills a role in a regional dex. I suspect it’s a two evo Pokemon that won’t be anything special stat-wise. I doubt it’s anything more than a Normal type - evo included. Despite that, I kinda dig it. I’d give it a 6.5/10.0 **Gossifleur:** Not awful, but feels like a lot of feminine grass types we’ve already seen before, especially with the flower “hat”. A little uninspired, to be honest. 5.5/10.0 **Eldegoss:** Admittedly, the evo is kinda cool. I especially like the cotton fro. I imagine there will be a third evo here if I’m guessing. 7.5/10.0 **Drednaw:** My favorite! I love this design. The preview also said it’s difficult to train due to it’s demeanor and propensity to bite everything. I hope it has an even nastier evo! 10.0/10.0! **Corviknight:** I want to like it and I think it’s a solid design, but it’s not as amazing as I had hoped when I first saw it. Apparently, it’s the game’s travel Pokemon that teleports you to any town you’ve already visited. In that case, I have a feeling that you get it early-ish and it doesn’t evolve. Still … not bad, I just want to like it so much more. 7.0/10.0 **Zacian:** I’m sorry, but I just don’t like it. It’s design is just so busy and I prefer more basic designs. I also do not dig the sword in the mouth. Lastly, it looks like about 1,000 other video game wolves over the past couple decades. Ugh. Disappointing legendary. 3.0/10.0 **Zamazenta:** Same goes for this one, though I like it a shade more since there is no sword in the mouth. The shields are also decent, but … yeah … just too much going on and too generic for me. 4.0/10.0 ---

I actually like the new Legendaries, but the Sword I do feel is too much. It should appear when it’s ready to attack, kind of like how to Swords of Justice work with Sacred Sword. There’s definitely a story between these two Pokemon. We will have to wait and see. That being said, I’m pretty sure these two are Steel-type Legendaries–TREND ALERT!!–but what could their subtypes be? Looking at Zacian, I’m guessing he’s a Steel/Fighting type. What could Zamazenta be? I’m stumped honestly. I do like how they’re designed after wolves. Wolves are very underrepresented in Pokemon in general. ---

I find that unlikely since there are so few single-type mascot Legendaries out there. Only ones I can think of are Kyogre, Groudon and Xerneas. It is possible, but it doesn’t seem likely. ---
