I was waiting to get a better look at this one
It looks more vibrant (?) in one the teaser pictures
I like it!

It looks like a mineral/rock and water type tyrant since we see it emerging from the water in the screenshot.
I couldn't say if it was an abyssal tyrant but I wouldn't rule it out.

Surely Water Mineral?

#

I remember people asking what this one was

#

Defiantly going on the team

little apex
#

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a late game encounter like lv 45-50

#

definitely a team member, if it isn't postgame at least

100% on my team

What an Awesome Nexomon

#

Looks like it could be a legend or at least super rare ( I know the rarity system doesn't exist anymore, I'm just assuming how hard it would be to come across it)

little apex
#

I just thought about something, since Godzilla vs King Kong is a reoccurring trend, I wonder if this guy has a similar rivalry with Goribilda (buff gym gorilla mon)

guys you can reply without mentioning people

A true ice cave dinosaur?

Original concept by Richard

#

Ross’s version is far more colorful

#

@fleet pine - Ross,Please don't bear any grudges but I prefer the Original Concept of Pulvrex a lot more

polar holly
#

Did you need to mention him for that one?

fleet pine
#

All’s well

Ironically, that’s why I redesigned it.

Team

calm grail
#

maybe a legendary or somewhere between Mega/Ultra Rare

#

The T-Rex is my favorite dino so will be in my main roster

calm grail

#

Nope

calm grail
#

but a nexomon i plan to use in my main roster

crisp gyro
calm grail
#

We sure about that? Just curious

crisp gyro
#

It was confirmed by Devs iirc

calm grail
#

ok, but unless something comes up, gonna assume the new nexomon are only 1 singular type

fleet pine
#

The new Nexomon can be multiple affinities of varying percentages. For example, 70% fire, 30% mineral.

#

Of course, some can be 100% of one specific type.

calm grail
#

though Omnicron proves that a Nexomon can use another Element that is not their own

calm grail
#

pulvrex i am definitely adding

little apex
#

Omnicron is from Nexomon 1, in Nexomon 3, nexomon have affinities as Ross pointed out, so they are no longer "fire type" but now have a certain amount of fire affinity and other type affinities so that the total makes 100% (100% fire or 70% fire + 30% mineral). This was the first piece of information revealed about N3. There shouldn't be a reason for a Nexomon to have a move from an element that they don't have affinity with. They can however (theoretically) have affinities in all elements (10% fire, 15% water, 10% wind...)

crisp gyro
calm grail
#

true.

#

Nexomon 2 Columbra, despite being a normal type, has fire moves, which is unique

little apex
#

I'm not sure, about the coverage thing, there are only 7 elements, if a mon has 3 affinities for example, they will probably have at least one element that deals neutral or super effective damage to the opponent, if on top of that they need coverage, that might be a bit much, it all depends on how super effective/resistances work. But imo affinities+coverage seems like overkill given that nexomon elements have generally been balanced

crisp gyro
#

in your example with 3 affinities, it's just one instance more than dual typed Pokemon who indeed have a lot of coverage moves. Coverage is important because sometimes you're not aiming at STAB bonus but at dealing the most effective damage possible. And especially with 3 affinities opposing you, that likely requires coverage.

little apex
#

In Pokémon there are 17 types and they aren't very balanced (ex : steel resistances, grasses weakness...) some Pokémon are only weak to 1 or 2 out of 17 types so coverage is required, Nexomon doesn't have this problem (unless they completely rework the element chart)

#

Each Nexomon is weak to 2 elements (we don't know anything about arcane so I'm not going to over complicate things by including it) if an opponent has 3 affinities chances are one of your mons has an attack that is super effective or at least neutral. If it's still going to be multibattles you just target what you have the best matchup against

#

It was annoying in extinction that there was barely any coverage, I'll give you that, but everything was monotype so it was a different story

calm grail
#

question now will be if new types will appear

little apex
#

They won't I assure you, it was a huge hassle, they decided on 7 (arcane replacing ghost and psychic, normal is now zero affinity so basically Typeless)

crisp gyro
# little apex It was annoying in extinction that there was barely any coverage, I'll give you ...

not really. Everything being monotype made it worse, certainly, but the issue doesn't solely exist in monotypes. It also doesn't quite matter if you have 18 types or 8, because that's still sufficient to make a more complex chart of, especially if an affinity system is used. Affinities can create very interesting scenarios where there's only one weakness and 3 elements are resisted, which you can unluckily just have; and generally you'd be aiming for super effective moves if possible as STAB is likely not going to be a such huge factor on triple affinities. Ultimately, being limited to 3 elements is too much for a game with otherwise oh so much diversity in its elements, and the battles would suffer from it.

#

Coverage is needed, you don't need to outdo it, naturally, but having 2-3 other elements that you don't have affinities of should be important to at least consider as a rule of thumb

little apex
#

If I've got a mon with affinities that are only both weak to and resisted by the ally I'll be switching out instead of using a coverage move

crisp gyro
#

losing a turn where you don't attack, giving the opponent free damage and possibly culminating in a switch spam from both sides

#

and thus, coverage is better

little apex

Depends on the situation and how the gameplay works anyway, too soon to tell now
