*POTENTIAL SPOILERS* To keep up the hype- A big recap of what I believe are the closest answers to this riddle while still leaving room for a few swaps. I think I’ve got Khu’s number 😜. Mega clean thread below for explanations #pokemonleaks @RuffledRowlit @aDrive_tK @eclipse_tt

It’s BDSP week but I wanted to get this out before games & news drops

@HybridHero I left manaphy here for you 😜

Also just maybe the last new Pokémon/evo slot has a tini tiny possibility to also be an electrode, Avalugg, Braviary, Zoroark or even growthile (maybe split) evo.

Many of the following quotes are from a lovely person (that wanted to remain anonymous) who gave there own answers to khu’s riddle and HE “LIKED” their answers. They gave us an Asian perspective, which is who this riddle was originally for. I will call them “AP”.

#1: 100 Vessels! Ghostly Typhlosion
The tweet below is another hint to all the Hisuian Starter forms (not going to post this tweet again but it applies to the 2 starters as well).

#2: Officially revealed as Zoroark line. Pic is Zoro (Zoroark) & Perona-ghost princess (ghost type)

#3: New, Post game mon. Sounds like a mythical or legendary, so being related to manaphy was the first thought (& still possible). It could also be an entirely new legend/myth Pokémon as well. Big thanks to @QuiteTheHoot

#3: Concerning it being a Legendary, AP said “Explain that it is a Legendary Pokémon. If you have to say cloud pokemon, I can only think of Forces of Nature. In Chinese, they are called XXcloud” Thanks to @poke_sirena it put this together.

#3:To add to this,there was a rumor on Tibea in Sept. about a new force of nature (4th) legendary.Further evidence are yokai & shinto mythology yokai.com/genbu/ that also connect to the other Djinn legendaries
Lando- Byakko
Tornadus- Suzaku
Thunderus- Seiryu
???- Genbu

#4: Has been out right said but Khu to be Voltorb line- Chinese Riddler (CR) also originally posted a hint for it and the starters.

#5:Least certain of all- AP said “#5 is Nishikino Maki,from LoveLive,she is an “ojosama”this word is difficult to explain,there does not seem to be a corresponding English word, I can only say it is a rich girl/lady?Liligant is the only pokemon that has officially used the word.”

#5:I believe Khu’s 1st tweet was pointing out that the girl tells us what the Pokémon is-while his 2nd tweet gives further details about this Pokémon that a“few fans nailed”. Similar to how he made follow ups to further describing riddles we already figured out,like Sneasel’s Evo

#5: I googled “ojosama pokemon” and it brought me to a Pokémon manga character- Dawn- of all people. Who uses this same exact word “Lady” that TPC used. I wonder if on the official website *in Japanese*, if Arezu’s “lady” Pokémon is translated to Arezu’s “ojosama” Pokémon

#5: Speaking of Khu’s 2nd tweet describing this mon.He says that what she says and the color of the bracelet are it’s typing. She says“I’ll hit/slap you”which many believe to be fighting type- but I’m not sure due to Decidueye already being that type.I’d go dark/grass personally

#5:Khu said (which was true)-ballguyleaks has true & false info.1 rumor was a“baby line”will get RF.I believe it false-but if true it’s most likely #5 as the others are nearly confirmed-leaving the jynx line(see link below).Or maybe Tsareena (unlikely).

#5: Lastly this hint from khu confirms that it’s cannot be levanny line or florges line, nor any Pokémon in this image for that matter

https://twitter.com/riddler_khu/status/1459512782060019724?s=21

#6: This one was one of the most obvious for the Asian community- Kotori = little bird (maybe a nick name for rowlit) and the muscles = fighting type. This was originally shared by CR.

#7: Khu said “kanji ON the image is the key” but I never thought to look at the original image he took the screenshot from. The kanji on the top basically adds up to “Blowfish”/Qwilfish’s name in Japanese.

#7: AP said: “The skill of this cactus is 針千本, which means 1k needles.Based on the Japanese name of Qwilfish (ハリーセン). In fact, this cactus has a stronger skill 針万本, means 10k needles, maybe it is the evo name of Qwilfish”

#7: lastly there’s a brand new “unfinished” story/myth added in BDSP in Canalave Library. It’s “ancient letters” are a clear hint to PLA and speaks of Qwilfish’s “huge” spikes- but normal qwilfish doesn’t have huge spikes?

#8: freebie from khu- he’s specifically says LINE here but in an earlier post he said it was a variant (singular). Since the former post is more recent, I’m leaning that way but I put goomy in the swap category just incase.

https://twitter.com/riddler_khu/status/1455388162201513986?s=21

#8: I think it’s important to stress again that there’s a high chance it’s not the entire goodra line leaving space for another RF pre-evolution. Also this is interesting info of the yokai Goodra is almost certainly based off of. yokai.com/shussebora/

#9: *See #1 from khu* but also the CR as well as ballguyleaks and eclipse have all agreed multiple times that the starters final evos are getting RF and their types are being described in these riddles.

https://twitter.com/eclipse_tt/status/1452058180142473219?s=21

#10:this was as obvious as Voltorb according to Khu-the image describes it.There was also drama around this one due to speculation that it would be an avalugg evo, but khu said it’s not. He also basically confirmed it out loud in this tweet about its type.

https://twitter.com/riddler_khu/status/1455202441675247620?s=21

#10: Also concerning a possible bergmite Hisuian form- I think it’s unlikely.

https://twitter.com/soulsilverart/status/1455894694353903620

#11: This is another that all these sources were in total agreement on starting with the CR- which is the most credible source. Sneasel may also get a RF due to its evo having such a drastic type change poison/fighting

https://twitter.com/eclipse_tt/status/1452313707082567682?s=21

#11: As for Khu’s typing follow up tweet here is the prevalent theory thanks to @Buzzlorddd

https://twitter.com/buzzlorddd/status/1456309243611602946

#11: However one of the ways Sneasel may not get a Hisuian form could be this.

https://twitter.com/soulsilverart/status/1456419703010861058

#12: Khu all but said this one flat out- centro stole this info from him- that it’s an ursaring (possibly rideable) evo. Small chance it’s a Teddiursa split evo but that’s just speculation.

https://twitter.com/centroleaks/status/1449080389922869250?s=21

#12: Some have speculated a Spinda evo(I’d prefer it)but there’s no evidence- other then it being based on an “Asian region” bear.And since khu pretty much said it flat out and this post is all about believing him- I think this yokai could be further inspo yokai.com/onikuma/

Also I have heard from some sources as well as eclipse that there are a “few” more forms that aren’t in this riddle. I believe them to be forms for the legendaries as it is normal to give the box legend a new form plus the “origin form” rumors of D/P

https://twitter.com/eclipse_tt/status/1454237027990388739?s=21

There’s also these 2 things maybe hinting at “other forms”. 1st was khu’s tweet about Giratina, why would he say the Giratina we’ve seen a million times has a “magnificent feat.” In PLA. 2nd was this image found in BDSP.Could be nothing, could be an old centaur arceus 🤷🏼😜

https://twitter.com/eclipse_tt/status/1458610780946026505

Still some wiggle room for 1 or 2 of these line’s pre-evo get a form- its between petilil,Sneasel,goomy&basculin for me. However if this is correct, the last new Pokémon/evo slot, must also have a new H-form pre evolution. My money is on Qwilfish for that 1

https://twitter.com/soulsilverart/status/1460107562649534469

*By* Khu, not “but”

That’s it for now, I hope twitter thread worked🙃.All that’s left here are the already confirmed mons and Arcanine- who has no evidence of being included other then that’s what Growlithe normally evolves into🤷🏼 I’ll add more if any updates come!

Now that BDSP is out & still no “forms” for Dialga/Palkia I think it’s unlikely they get them in PLA.Due to Khu grouping them in with “22 DLC”- which most assume to be false- therefore according to him DP forms would probably also be false?Unless he’s only talking about BDSP here

Oops I tagged the wrong @TheeHybridHero 😳😅😅😅 sorry!

@Nintendokusou @blazikerm @LegacyPsk9999 Check out the thread, I hope I made you guys proud 😉😇😂

Also thanks to @Jun17761 (especially you!) & @BallGuyLEAKS for a lot of this info

Almost forgot @demipokemon_ - I wanted to make you proud since you’re a thread master too 😂😜

Also @dustygogoat might have some fun content if you wanna go in depth 😜 I’m trying to get the word out!

Wanted to clear up that the Sneasel images here are not related to much of the text above them- just the fact that there is a lot of evidence that Sneasel will also get a regional form and a regional evo. Which would then make it two lines (qwilfish line) where this occurs.

*I already have a few updates*
#3: I forgot this screenshot of khu’s info (just for reference) and a fun little (western world view) theory I had originally about #3

https://twitter.com/soulsilverart/status/1456911604814069765

#5: it’s also been brought to my attention by Yoriden on Reddit that if we’ve truly cracked Khu’s circle/noble riddle then Arezu’s noble (it’s a noble so it must be in this riddle image) cannot be a new/evo but instead must only be a RF. Here’s why:

https://twitter.com/Riddler_Khu/status/1460164732636196872

After a convo with @Buzzlorddd & since khu said this list was wrong- I don’t think there’s a way where both Sneasel and goomy get a form- it seems only one of them can be a RF according to this (because one of these names has to be wrong) Good thing I put them in the swap cate.😅

https://twitter.com/soulsilverart/status/1460107562649534469

More evidence I hadn’t noticed before. Giving Sneasel a RF and not goomy is khu said “some similarities” meaning more then one (more then just a split evolution). This could just be me looking into it to much but he has proved so far to be very specific with his words.

https://twitter.com/Riddler_Khu/status/1452833942323679238

Note: 2nd image here is not mine. I was using it as an example to show that Arezu’s noble has to be in 1 of the blue circles since the yellows are all taken(unless this lady noble somehow uses sniff ride).This is not an image of my speculation of what the circle/noble riddle is.

#8: I forgot to post Khu’s first tweet about #8 for reference- he says “A new VARIANT” (which is singular) then he says goodra LINE in his 2nd tweet posted above. So what do you all think? It looks like only one can get a Hisuian form according to Khu… which will it be? Poll👇🏼👇🏼

Which do you think is getting a new form based on the evidence above?

New piece of evidence I missed concerning not only Arcanine but also basculin- they both got trademarks earlier this year- this is pushing me more towards it being basculin & Sneasel/goomy to get the last two “swappable”Hisuian forms- Also this is finally a hint for Arcanine 😂
