Leak Repository Thread (WARNING: Huge spoilers!)

So, this is another thing Affleck got right. Fun.

 

[Scruffyjay]

Yeah, as soon as someone rotated the image, all I can see is evolved Farfetch'd with a leek sword and shield

I swear to god if it's wearing fucking sunglasses

I figured it looked more like a knight's helmet visor or something.

Also, the fact that its japanese name apparently ends in "nite" means it's not farfetch'd itself, so it'd have to be sirfetch'd.

 

[Cute Charm]

If it's wearing sunglasses, then it's a logical upgrade from the mask the old Farfetch'd evo was wearing.

I really couldn't understand what people were seeing when they said rotating the pixelated mystery Pokemon made them see the Farfetch'd connection.

I took to DeviantArt to see if I could find a more complete interpretation and found this fan art by an artist named Gooompy:

I thought I would share this in case anyone else had any difficulties seeing it too.

I've never been a big Farfetch'd fan so I'm surprised that I actually really like this. I can't see it being just a Fighting type though.

 

[yudgefudge]

Well, then my team is complete if that is Sirfetch'd.

I just thought of this but maybe cause now it’s friday 13th which is a day thats well known for things going wrong and having this on the Pokemon official page so maybe this “glitch Pokemon” is to tie into it being 13th and we could get a trailer today I don’t know I could be wrong it’s just cool to think of

I love it.

Odd that "Sirfetch'd" is pure Fighting, guess Farfetch'd retired from flying after evolving ¯\(ツ)/¯

I'm still wondering how that'll work

The leek and shield might be much heavier than the bird wielding them, probably.

 

[yudgefudge]

The leek and shield might be much heavier than the bird wielding them, probably.

but it wouldn't lose the flying type; it still has the capability of flight; all he needs to do is drop the leek and shield

Unless it has a galarian form and is not flying at all here. I think I do remember the company saying something about only galarian forms get new Evos. Plus this is absolutely the only way I can see this being sirfetch’d the typing makes no sense either. It goes from normal/flying to pure fighting? No way.

 

[AzuSquish]

Did the affleck leak get ANYTHING wrong?? Ita definitely a sirfetchd but the typing, weight and pokedex is really weird

Galarian Farfetchd could be fighting and evolves into fighting/flying but the pokedex entry seems like its talking about an evolved pokemon, and the weight doesnt make any sense either

I really hope it isnt pure fighting ill be really sad if this ends up as "bad fighting type #173"

I really hope theyre just playing with the glitched aesthetic and its not actually pure fighting

For those who are seeing cubone and have trouble imagining it, look at this

 

[OdieCanardian]

Maybe the weight is kinda glitched too? Either that or the sword and shield are really heavy.

[ShieldFan]

I hope it is flying/fighting. But, I don't know if Sirfertch will be able to fly, so pure fighting does make sense too.

Spoiler: Pokemon official page quote

“Living in the unique environment of the Galar region, some regional forms have developed unique Evolutions unseen in any other region. Obstagoon, which evolves from Galarian Linoone, is one example.”

Yeah, I think this definitely means we have to get a regional farfetch’d. So, if, this is sirfetch’d they must both be fighting. While I do see it a little sideways. I am not convinced this is him due to the weight, and the fact that they turned it sideways, but only time will tell...unless it’s all a cruel friday the 13th prank...too bad they already dropped polteageist. XD I really hope they say today what it is.

 

[Pokeshopper]

Can we get a summary of it please? I really don't want to watch an 11 minute vid of what could just be a fan being like "I dunno! Could be this! I want it to be this though!"

Honestly don't know why I bother wasting my time here lol.

Enjoy Sword and Shield though!

Hey I watched it and appreciate the info, man. =P

I agree on th

To be fair, the amount of videos that get posted talking about "leaks" where it's really just some random 4chan/twitter/whatever post... Is far too common.
