Looking forward to the stache Alolan Raticate gets.

Also, that Snorlax Z-Move is literally the best thing in the franchise.

Pulvarizing Pancake is the best possible move for Snorlax. Stoked Sparksurfer is good, bu nowhere near as hilarious.

Puts the final nail in the Fighting type Alakazam coffin rumor one.

It claimed they'd be pure Dark, not Dark/Normal.

That leak had already been disproved by regular Arcanine showing up on the SuMo pages though since they claimed Alolan Arcanine was Water-typed.

So do Z Moves replace a move in your list or are they extra? I can't remember if this has been discussed.

They're extra but you have to have a move of that type. This may not hold true for Pokemon specific z moves

that's a nice rat, a moustache and some spikes and it does the four legged thing on back legs nicely without doing a purrloin. Plus Route 1 trash getting stuff is unexpected and cool

but that Snorlax is fantastic. look at that fat bastard go. he's beautiful

also the wiggly feet in the air :3:

you should be able to ride on a running snorlax and it counts for all the HMs.

he flattens rocks/trees and runs on water and jumps really high and that's basically all of them

you could even summon him with a flute, it is perfect

All the Barbacle hate in this thread is disappointing.

Also, while Alolan Rattata looks a little disappointing, Snorlax's z move is loving awesome.
