The pseudo legendary is ghost/dragon. It’s based off of an extinct reptile called diplocaulus.

Apparently they are using ghost type as a nod to being based off an extinct reptile? lol

Rumor: no Galarian forms or Gigantamax for the Sinnoh region.

So, an explanation on the fossils. There are no pre-evolutions, just four fossil combinations. The parts come from four different dinosaurs, but there is no way to actually complete any of them. Instead, you have four fossil Pokemon that are combinations from the four.

The parts are: Bird head, dragon-like bottom, fish head, arctic-dino bottom.

There is no: bird bottom, dragon head, fish bottom, or arctic head.

Breakdown:

The idea is based on when we first discovered fossils and put them together incorrectly. lol

The dex expansion thing waant confirmed and, as one Smogoner pointed out, the guy with 400 already caught Zacian, Eternatus and likely beat Leon (given how they have seen a Charizard)
It doesnt look good for the Dex

Applin might have a split evo. First we had Flapple, but now we also have Appletun, which is grass/dragon:

Someone else is now saying that the dex does not expand … and stops at 400. :frowning:

There is also another battle tower in the end game.

Another pic of Thievul. It and it’s pre-evo are confirmed as dark types, not ground as previously reported.
