The general consensus seems to be that Pokemon fans are tired of repetitive dual-types for each generation’s starter Pokemon. Fire and fighting has been a much used combination throughout the Pokemon series.

Firstly, the content of this leak sounds believable and even detailed enough to give it some credence. However, it is pre-tensed with that it could well be fake as it is a secondary source.

The leak does give those who want fresh types some encouragement. The details of each are below:

  • Grookey: Musician using its stick to play instruments. Grass/rock type
  • Scorbunny: Fast football player. Fire/electric type
  • Sobble: 16-17th century style actor. Water/ghost type

If these types are real then they provide dual-types not yet seen before from starter Pokemon in the entire series.

While they might no be all Pokemon fans’ cup of tea, they are at least a refreshing change. It would also be the first time that Pokemon had such a human-like connotation to them. So, a musician, footballer and actor – do these make you more excited for Pokemon Sword and Shield?
