Question,
I thought the wiki decided to decomposite Pokémon, as in, make game characters only scale to game feats, anime only scale to anime feats, etc. It looks like most if not all profiles are still composite, so did those changes ever go through?

Introducing a Newly Discovered Pokémon! — The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet
Mystery surrounds this new Pokémon... its name and true nature are shrouded in mystery.
It's also on the official website.
Although, mild SPOILERS FOR POKEMON: HORIZONS THE NEW ANIME caution given the details on there that aren't included in the Twitter post.
I feel like they just made this page in response to the anime's airing. All the details are stuff the episode reveals, & there are no other details so far.
Like, no height, weight, type, ability, nor classification, are listed!
Heck, the English version, at least, uses "Apparently,", so it sounds really uncertain/vague. Maybe the original Japanese language version is more definitive??
I guess at least we got new art?
Call me crazy, but it looks like it has a heavy motif of 4; There are 4-pointed stars, & diamonds (When drawn 2 dimensionally, a diamond has 4 sides.)
Its shell also features rectangle/trapezoid shapes, which also have 4 sides.
If this is like Gen 7 ("Legendary" that evolves introduced in the add-ons, ala Poipole & Naganadel. & also a 3-Stage "Legendary" Evolution line in the base games.), then this is probably a pre-evo rather than a form.
Combined with Terapagos's prominent pentagos, this makes me a little more confident Terapagos is the middle of a 3-Stage line.

It's been done. It's just a slow process applying it since we're working on a standard procedure for it

Gotcha. I ask because Mewtwo is still using both game and anime feats.
So are Pokémon going to have (theoretically) separate profiles for their game, anime, and manga selves?

Working on the hardest profile I've ever made, any advice?
I want it to be really detailed. Red and Elio have profiles, but fail to take into account that they can canonically catch any Pokémon available to them in-game. I'm hoping to fix that with Ethan's profile, even if it means a lot of work.
Idk if I should give the Arceus event its own key or even include it at all. It has its own series of cutscenes and could be considered a DLC expansion, but I wanna hear some advice.

This is a link to a Twitter post.
Apparently, download cards for the DLC will go on April 24th. An optimistic view says this means we'll get news on that date, or some kind of announcement.

I don't recall if we consider the unreleased Arceus Event canon or not. I am pretty sure we reference the lore connected to it, though. I think.

More Pokedex entries have been deleted from S/V.
Mind, this doesn't mean those Pokemon had entries before. To quote the user who made the Tweet:
"They do not appear in any Pokédexes, so there is no point in questioning it, imo. Pokédex entries in this case refers to any text that would be displayed when you view it in the Pokédex. Walking Wake/Iron Leaves are not Paldean natives, so they have no entries."
More they said on the matter:
In Scarlet & Violet Ver. 1.3.0, Game Freak have deleted even more Pokédex entries. In addition to all of the entries from my last tweet, the following have been removed: • Unova starters • Kalos starters • Carbink • Galar starters Full list here:
When SWSH deleted Pokédex entries in 1.2.0, all of those Pokémon ended up returning in the DLC. This list is still tentative, as I've mentioned in the past. It should be noted that this list includes species that are already in SV, but do not appear in any Pokédexes.
What do I think? When we look at SWSH 1.2.0, there were Pokémon that had Pokédex entries deleted but still did not end up in any Galar Pokédexes (mainland, Armor, Crown), like all of the Dynamax Adventures Legendaries. I expect some similarities with Teal Mask/Indigo Disk.
Here's the list.
What do you all think?

Uhh the plates were still knocked off him by a meteor that's pretty bad.
Of course the movie is PIS so it doesn't really matter for scaling.

More Unowns
- 10,411

I forget, what's our stance for that 1 Unown that put everyone into Larvitar's mind or such?
IIRC, we have this annoying habit of wanting to keep Unown at Unknown both because thematics & also because Arceus used them -as a group-, so each has an amount of 4D Power, but since their gimmick is that their power increases with more of them, we don't know how much power an individual has, as they lack feats as individuals.
(Plus, that whole "uncertain amount of 4D power per individual", but I still want to like, ascribe power to them as individuals, or even as small groups?)
Anyway, in the tweet's video:
5 Unown. You can see them at 20 seconds in.
Curiously, they spell out "NIGHT", if you read in this order: Upper left, middle, upper right, bottom right, bottom left.
(Or "THING" with a different reading order.)
Curiously, the Unown seem to teleport/disappear away when defeated -One shot by Cynthia's Garchomp- despite that their illusion's scale shots could seemingly match it.
But if I'm understanding what the dialogue implies about the rest of the episode, the Unown made "illusions" that were doing the same things as the Pokemon they fought, but they didn't copy Cynthia's Garchomp's action to fly up when it was concealed in the sandstorm.
Meaning the Unown were probably directing the illusions themselves, based on the Unown's own perception, seeing as the illusion Garchomp didn't fly up to mirror Cynthia's Garchomp's action of flying up.
Ergo, Unown are capable of perceiving & reacting to the moves of Pokemon like Cynthia's Garchomp, at least with commanding their "illusions"; They seemingly only didn't do so when they couldn't see what the Pokemon to copy was doing.

So the illusions scale to Garchomp but the actual Unown don't, huh? That doesn't give us anything, only that they can make illusions of up to 2-B level strength But since there are 5 Unowns and their gimmick is that their power increases with the more of them, that can't be used for scaling, right? Unless we make a key for 5 Unowns but that's dumb. At least their reaction speed scales to Garchomp
I don't remember any stance on that 1 Unown that put everyone into Larvitar's mind but since that's the only feat that an individual Unown has we might need to reach an agreement on that.

"""illusions"""

The Unown created the "illusions", but yeah.
If multiple were involved, then we run into the problem of 1 of Unown's few known abilities: That they're more powerful when there's multiple Unown, but we don't know HOW MUCH more powerful how many Unown are compared to a different quantity.
How much stronger than 1 Unown is a group of 5 Unown?
Good question. I wish I had an answer.
2-B? Scaling Cynthia's Garchomp to Creation Trio? (Also, "they" for how many Unown? 1? 5? More?)
Yeah, unless we have a way to determine the multiplier for a group of that size, but AFAIK part of the problem is we dunno if it's like, linear or exponential or additive or what.
Ex: For a base power of 100 for 1 Unown & a group of 5 Unown, is it:
A. 100+100+100+100+100=500?
B. 100 + 50 per Unown beyond the first? 200 beyond the first? An amount that changes as the quantity does? (Such as add 100, then add twice as much as previously added for every additional Unown.)
C. Exponential, such as 100^5, which equals 10,000,000,000? (10 billion! Much different from 500!)
Agreed.
I'd like that, too. Anyone familiar with the episode or such?
That is what the characters in the Pokemon anime called them, at least in the English dub. I also find it silly. Perhaps it's a quirk of the dub, or there's an explanation in the episode as to why they'd somehow match capabilities yet only be "illusions".
It may be worth while to look into the episode more, &/or check what they're called in the original Japanese episode's dialogue?

There is 1 new piece of info, but not from the trailer:
Apparently they can inflict Bad Poison on the opposing Pokemon with any move -contact or not, seemingly- that they hit with.
I guess we also got to know that there's a nearby location called Mossui Town: https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-ca/news/dlc_locations/

To start with, that. I recommend CTRL+F-ing my posts & responses, conceited of me as that may be, as I & the responses did a lot of the analysis.
The main source of indecision is determining which kind of moves Pheromosa is likely to go for in-character-ly, & how to factor that into its chances of winning.
