Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This champion of Fighting types, best in the game for the game's first three and a half years, began as a mere jester. The charged move Submission, mercifully legacy, came up with awful parameters that made it quite underwhelming until later stages of the game helped to give it much stronger moves.
What Pokémon of the following has ever had Submission as a legacy move?
2. In 2017, when Mewtwo was introduced to raids, it had access to this legacy move, popularly donned the "DX move", that was so absurdly strong that players began to call out of work, school and other essential functions in droves just so they could attend events where obtaining such a Mewtwo was even a possible. Only available in randomly scheduled EX Raids, it was close to impossible to comfortably fit acquiring this Mewtwo in one's schedule, sparking outrage and eventually prompting Niantic to change the way the system worked completely.
What charged legacy move did Mewtwo get here that was the center of such controversy?
3. Sporting only one bar charged moves and tithing in envy at its rival obtaining a two bar charged move, Groudon finally received a three bar charged move in 2020; the move sadly became legacy, but was basically mandatory if anyone wanted to ever use it in Player-versus-Player modes.
What move of the following became legacy for Groudon here?
4. The legendary Kanto bird trio of Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos all received exciting legacy moves in 2017 to promote an event where they were all released as raid bosses at the same time. Each bird received a different legacy move with varying degrees of impact. Which of the following is not a move that any of them received?
5. This massive, lazy Pokémon would seem to prefer just sleeping to battling; this is especially the case if it were to be trotted out to battle with its 2018 legacy fast move, Yawn. Which Pokémon of the following received this move as a legacy option in 2018?
6. Briefly released as a four star Raid Boss in 2017, this move became a mainstay on Gengar sets as soon as it was released. Need to be warned though; leaving your Pokémon in a gym that is weak to Gengar will cause it to be defeated before long, wherein it would return to you as it licked its wounds and consumed some of your potion and revive supply.
What legacy fast move did Gengar gain access to here?
7. The iconic first generation meme Pokémon, Seaking, has received lots of attention from Niantic over the years. This has sadly been negative attention, as it has had more moves taken away and deemed to be legacy than it has had moves given to it. Which of the following is an example of a move Seaking has had become legacy?
8. The Throwback Challenge of 2019 gave Cresselia a new charged move that it could put to use in PvP. It might knot seem terribly useful, but gaining niche coverage on Water types in Great League was generally useful. Which move of the following became a solid legacy option for it?
9. Politoed is well known as a Pokémon who shook up the fifth generation meta in the mainstream game, but this legacy move it held in 2017 hasn't really had the same earth shattering impact.
What is Politoed's 2017 legacy move?
10. A Community Day move in 2017, this move was likely a foreshadowing of its Dragon type Mega Evolution being released in the future; Dragon Pulse is otherwise totally useless for it to run.
Which Pokémon of the following gained this legacy move in a 2017 Community day?
