thegamer.com:

This week was filled with a bunch of Pokemon news, even if some of it wasn’t from official channels. A Pokemon leaker has given us an apparent update on Scarlet & Violet, claiming that the upcoming game will feature time-travelling Pokemon, but no new Eeveelutions. On top of that, we have a new massive Pokemon plush taking the fanbase by storm.

All of that and more features in our run-down of the past week in Pokemon news.

However, they did find “time travelling” Pokemon, which would fit in with the themes we’ve seen so far in the promotional material. The story is also said to be shaping up well, although Pokemon will once again have to be cut. This time around, it’s said that Joltik, Milotic, Wailord, Metagross, Jynx and Golurk are getting the axe.

Believe it or not, Pokemon Unite is about to turn a year old. To celebrate, we’re getting three new ‘mon on the roster: Glaceon, Tyranitar, and Buzzwole. On top of this, three more Pokemon will join the MOBA at a later date, although these haven’t been revealed just yet. The first of the bunch, Glaceon, will be available July 21 - and can even be unlocked through gameplay for a limited time. After that, Buzzwole and Tyranitar are tagging in August 4 and August 16 respectively.
