First we have Scald (JP Name: Boiling Water) which burns, and now we have the opposite version which still fuks over physical attackers somehow.

Another thing that raises my suspicions: Where are the rest of the Pokemon's stats? These would have been lumped in with the rest of the returning Pokemon, and people would be hype to learn of any stat changes. 
I don't get why people use the argument of "they are very close to the estimates people made looking at leaked Stat screens, so they must be real".
The fact that they are close to the estimates people came up with is not an argument for it being real. The one who made the list could have also faked the whole thing while making sure all pokemon with the leaked Stat screens have "valid" base stats based on leaked numbers... It's easy to increase the authenticity that way

I want to talk about this guy. When its typing of Bug/Fighting was first teased, I could not comprehend how a Volcarona could even be a Fighting type. Would it turn into an acrobat and use spinning to attack physically? Would it be a more spiritual fighter like Lucario and use aura in its moves? The closest I got was someone jokingly saying "Mothman was in the game", which made me wonder if it would gain gangly limbs somewhat like Pheromosa and fight with those.
When this image dropped, my mind went with "Oh, it's an overgrown Larvesta that gets to keep its more physically inclined stats". So imagine my surprise when it shows up in the story's final battle standing upright ready to throw hands. "Volc doesn't have hands" is going to age like milk.

If they were going to lower its Speed, I'd prefer more than a +10 Attack boost personally. Too modest for such a useful stat to drop.
Assuming they are real:
A stat that surprised me ESPATHRA (the turkey mon)
95/60/60/101/60/105
Could make a good sweeper in lower tiers

Im not convinced just yet. Remember how Denifin evolves to a simillar looking mon, but has a form change? Where are the stats for said form change? Does palifin have the same stats as its prevo until it changes? The liat should have both.
This is how breeding works now apparently and like.. I’m just hoping that somewhere hidden that the day care is around cause this sounds so unbelievably tedious and rotten
I personally love breeding and breeding for my own flawless ivs/egg moves/balls I don’t like using mints and caps (even if it is easier) ughhh THIS is a weird choice

Dondozo's stats are kind of wild.
150/100/115/65/65/35
It has solid physical bulk, which I guess makes sense if it is taking hits for the Sushi mon in Doubles? (Am I getting that right?)

We also have Koraidon for Sun and I think Sandaconda is in right? Sand Spit would set Sand as well. And I was going to say Snow needs another setter, but with that Parting Shot/Snowstorm move I think it is good.
So is intimidate nerfed or not?

Woah woah woah. Those are actually some really good abilities. Guts Facade from this thing is gonna hurt as much as it did from Obstagoon, and it'll likely get Brave Bird and U-turn too.
The fucking parrot got off better than the Fairy/Steel thing. Damn.
Real Radical Red Hours
Please. I'd love an adorable pseudo. Bonus is that it'd be only the third pseudo that isn't Dragon type.
Not even Huge Power HA!!!

Still got errors.
Crowned Zacian lost 20 Points in attack, unfortunately Crowned Zamazenta lost 10 points in defenses.
EDIT: Zacian and Zamazenta Hero lost 10 points in attack both
