Thank you to everyone who came out to the TEC2 Grand Opening 💙

Seeing the space come to life and be filled with so many familiar and new faces meant everything to us. Thank you to all the organizers, staffs, teams, and everyone who was involved in the process!

@CardnlH I’m predicting Grass/Flying, Fire/Electric, and Water/Poison!

⚠️ Z-A spoilers

Looks like this was accurate 👀

[Bolt @BoltexDigital]

@soulsilverart @CentroLeaks @Buzzlorddd If we only look at current dex and the DLC list, these get narrowed down:
3. Banette or Chimecho
4. Absol
5. Staraptor or Roserade
6. Garchomp
7. Lucario or Hippowdon
8. Heatran
9. Darkrai
10. Stunfisk or Golurk
11. Meowstic
12. Crabominable
13. Golisopod or Palossand

(1/2)

[Bolt @BoltexDigital]

@soulsilverart @CentroLeaks @Buzzlorddd 14-17. Magearna/Marshadow/Zeraora/Melmetal

This is where we run into issues. 18 is “missing” bc neither Stakataka nor Blacephelon are on the dex/list. This could fix itself if one of the other 4 get 2 megas.

19. is even weirder since Zama and Eter are not in the dex/list

(2/2)

@EskayOW Eskay did you see they’re making Marvel streetfighter kinda

[Bolt @BoltexDigital]

@mmmmmmmmiller Is it possible to get this (and future skins/characters) as PNGs, without the black background?

[MARVEL Cosmic Invasion @MARVELCosmicInv]

Are you ready to brawl through the streets of Marvel's New York and all the way to the depths of the Negative Zone to foil the deadly Annihilation wave?👊

[Bolt @BoltexDigital]

@PokemonDealsTCG @ledwin_gomez Can confirm. Had to queue twice (second one lasted a little over an hour) but just got 1!

@EskayOW they call you eskay but you’re actually Psylocke

[Bolt @BoltexDigital]

Also, in the original collage the top-right image was a fourth addition to a previous trio (Enamorous, to the genies)

It’s a bit of a stretch, but that concept would apply here too (fourth forme added to the three current ones)

[Bolt @BoltexDigital]

On second thought, image 3 (the Sleipnir) may represent a fourth Zygarde forme

It’s theorized that his current forms represent Loki’s children (Fenrir, Jörmungandr, and Hel). Sleipnir is also Loki’s child, so it follows the pattern.

Still I wonder if image 6 is also connected…

[SoulSilverArt @soulsilverart]

I’ve been seeing so many amazing fan speculation of the new riddle collage,HYPE.

But for people who weren’t there for, or don’t remember the classic first one, I think we should probably take a deeper look. A few of the old ones were simple but most had deep cultural layers.

[Bolt @BoltexDigital]

@soulsilverart Number 9 is apparently Hedorah, the “Smog Monster” from the Godzilla franchise

Could be Garbodor, which is in line with all the gen 5 stuff

Muk or Weezing also seem possible

All three of them already have some kind of form tho (regionals / gigantamax) so I’m unsure

[Bolt @BoltexDigital]

Another possibility for 6, assuming the hint is Loki, is Grimmsnarl

In which case if #3 is same gen, it’s possibly Spectrier (but that seems unlikely)

Lastly Rapidash is a very real possibility for #3 as Loki in Norse mythology is associated with fire

[Bolt @BoltexDigital]

The third seems to be a “Sleipnir” from SDS, which in Norse mythology is an eight-legged horse that’s Loki’s son. The 6th shows the avengers looking at marvel’s Loki… I wonder if there’s a connection there.

[SoulSilverArt @soulsilverart]

HOLY WHAT. WE’RE SO BACK. Help.

[Bolt @BoltexDigital]

IMO the most obvious Loki-esque Pokémon is Zoroark (but he got a form in PLA so idk…)

If there’s a connection, I can see 3 being Zebstrika, another gen 5er. With the last one seemingly hinting at Hydreigon (+ the excadrill hint) we’re potentially seeing lots of gen 5 rep
