Thoughone Pokemon might already be hidden in the trailerin a more direct-ish way, this other one was much harder to spot. It took twitter user @Mattyoukhana_ to spot it. When Matt zoomed in on one of the images shown briefly and blurrily at the end of the trailer, he noticed what looks like an Amoongus. And of course, if there is Amoongus there is Foongus, its pre-evolutionary form.
To those who don’t see the appeal ofthis Pokeball-patterned mushroom, its popularity lies in competitive play. Amoongus can learn the move Spore, instantly putting most Pokemon to sleep. If the opposing Pokemon wakes up, Amoongus can not only take some solid hits but its Hidden Ability, Regenerator, will allow it to regenerate 1/3 of its health upon retreating. Combining that with something like Stun Spore also makes Amoongus a very hard to get rid of Pokemon that can consistently cripple opposing Pokemon.
There is no official word on whether Amoongus and Foongus will make the cut for the Isle of Armor, but even if there are no further announcements before the Isle of Armor releases, players will be able to find out for themselves on June 17. Players who want to get ready should be sure to cash in on thevaluable Mystery Gifts that are being given outviaPokemon SwordandPokemon ShieldandPokemon Home.Players that usePokemon Homecan get the Galarian starters with their Hidden Abilities for the first time.
