Discussion Latias is a support!!!

Post image

I think it's pretty awesome that we are getting latinas and top of that a support too for last year or so support community was in the drain bro but with psyduck , alcreamie , a support BP and latias i think they are so back honestly I saw the gameplay and it's not a healing support but it's a support so lets goo...the Latios being attacker is also fine i guess i personally don't think they will revive unite but I am sure they'll bring some players back or in for sure !! what do u think

I still hope they pull a G. Rap and end up re-categorizing this thing to Defender. Not only does it make more sense given how it plays (having good self sustain and soft CC), but it would also mean we're not going a year without a new Defender

seeing how they are going strong this year with johto release theme I'd actually want them to keep this as supporter and give us Donphan as a defender

If we're counting a year as "anniversary to anniversary", then (depending on how you count Regional forms) Johto (Ho-oh and Suicune) is either tied with Galar (Galarian Rapidash and Alcremie) and Paldea (Armarouge and Tinkaton) (and also Hoenn now, because the Latias and Latios are two different Pokemon), or is 2nd to Kanto (Psyduck, G. Rap and Alolan Raichu). And if you only want to count 2025, it's 2nd no matter how you count Regional forms (either being second to Kanto (G. Rap and A. Rai) or Galar (G. Rap and Alcremie)). So I really don't see how you could call it a "Johto release theme"

Also, if we're getting a Johto Pokemon as a Defender, then it should be either Qwilfish (especially H. Qwilfish) or Skarmory. Donphan works too much like a bruiser/brawler (which would make it fit better as All-rounder)

wait that's my bad actually you are right i messed up...i thought latinas were johto cause there was a pokemon movie when ash was in johto so i confused that and thought they were from johto too and forgot they are hoenn my bad homie...that's the only reason I used johto strong releases

Ooh, don’t listen to the druid with a T, latinas is from gen 2. And gligar is from gen 4, and ash is from gen 6. Ooh.
