GEN 4 PREVIEW

FINNEON, LUMINEON
Welcome, Trainers! We'll be taking a look at Finneon and Lumineon today, so let's dive into it!

FINNEON

  • CATEGORY: Wing Fish Pokémon
  • PRONOUNCED: FINN-ee-onn
  • TYPE: Water
  • HEIGHT: 1' 04"
  • WEIGHT: 15.4 lbs.

ATTACK:  96

DEFENSE:  119

STAMINA:  98

MAX  CP:  853

We don't expect Finneon to be very rare. We would expect the evolution into Lumineon to cost 50 Candy, but we could see this be the inexplicable 400 Candy evolution of this generation. Should it be found in Eggs, we'd expect the 2KM Eggpool to suit it best. We also expect it to take 1KM to find a Buddy Candy.
SUGGESTED: What Will Vespiquen Be Like in Pokémon GO? - Generation Preparation

LUMINEON

  • CATEGORY: Neon Pokémon
  • PRONOUNCED: loo-MIN-ee-onn
  • TYPE: Water
  • HEIGHT: 3' 11"
  • WEIGHT: 52.9 lbs.
Picture

ATTACK:  142

DEFENSE:  175

STAMINA:  138

MAX  CP:  1671

PLACE IN THE META: Lumineon won't be useful in Pokémon GO. It's a largely-forgotten Pokémon, even in the main-series games, and will be easily trumped by Kyogre, Gyarados, Vaporeon, and even Suicune. Yet another Pokémon that's nothing more than a Pokédex-filler.

Lumineon is a Water-type. This makes it weak to Electric- and Grass-type attacks, as well as resistant to Fire-, Water-, Ice-, and Steel-type attacks.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Lumineon:
  • Pound
  • Water Gun

Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Lumineon:
  • Blizzard
  • Silver Wind
  • Water Pulse

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Lumineon's movepool:
  • Whirlpool

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 4, Lumineon gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution.
