Fun fact: zacian is implied to be female in her gen 8 dexentry

[@2ndLSFH25]

Yea I read about Zacian being Zamzamta's elder sister but it's not confirm

[@lagopusvulpuz1571]

Yeah, but the names "Zacian" sounds masculine and "Zamzamta" extremely feminine, I mean it sounds like Samantha and Matilda. I know that the names are of Japanese of origin (most likely), but still, just an opinion.

[@octosage2861]

While zacian is listed as genderless like most legendaries, Most infomation in media and the games implies/notes that the wolves are likely a nidoran situation with zacian (female) and zamazenta (male) of the same/similar species.

[@2ndLSFH25]

I remember reading about how Zacian could be Zamazenta's elder sister, but I believe it's just a myth

[@pdart0304]

"This Pokémon has slumbered for many years. Some say it's Zamazenta's elder sister-others say the two Pokémon are rivals." - Zacian's dex entry in Pokémon Shield, stating it as a sister, therefore female.

The Cynthia's Garchomp detail shows off how no matter how scummy, cash grabby, and/or lazy the Pokemon devs get, there's still one or two people in gamefreak who still genuinely care about this franchise, and I love that Edit: thanks for correcting me everyone

[@user-AADZ]

That's a sentence

Does GameFreak even work on this game? I thought it was mostly Tencent

[@2ndLSFH25]

@@pedrocto9474 Agreed! Though, the Cynthia's Garchomp detail has actually been in Unite for about a year now, and Timi studios is pretty much responsible for Unite.

Game freak doesn't work on their mobile games. A Chinese Studio Called "Timi" are the ones that work on Pokemon Unite.

[@Dr_Ugs]

In a previous version of the game, some skins for Sylveon and Glaceon used the opposite Eevee gender model, this seems to have been an error, as it's no longuer in the game

[@2ndLSFH25]

@@Dr_Ugs Yeah, I remember reading about it on Reddit while I was researching

[@leoalfre_the_bb-9e915]

Fun fact: when equipping the Dress Holowear with Umbreon, The Eevee Becomes Female. This doesn't happen with Sylveon. And i have no idea for Leafeon.

[@2ndLSFH25]

I might have read this on Reddit before, wasn't it a bug or something? Though, thanks for putting it here

[@leoalfre_the_bb-9e915]

I mean, it does feel intentional, considering that's a "Girly" Holowear. But I guess it would be up to testing it on the practice range, considering you can choose any Holowear there

[@maricelagonzalez881]

That doesn't happen, neither with Leafeon.

[@eossyoutubeaccount5152]

I'd like to note that the wording of the Zacian entry implies the professor(s) writing the pokedex entries were simply stating the folklore surrounding these two mythological beings. Scientific facts or hypotheses wouldn't be worded as "some say *insert information" Imagine your science textbook saying "People claim that gravity exists" or "Some people think that rain falls because of a process they call condensation"

[@2ndLSFH25]

True 👌

[@aaa-xe9gr]

Within the game data (according to Elchicoeevee) female Pokémon have their gender specified next to their name (and males only have their name). After an update, Zoroark, Chandelure, Lapras, Gardevoir, Wigglytuff and Eldegoss were defined as female (I think Delphox and Meowscarada too but I'm not sure about these two, Meowscarada may already entered the game with the gender defined as female)

[@2ndLSFH25]

Yeah, I came across this while researching for the video, and it was pretty cool. Though I decided to focus only on Pokemon with confirmed visual differences between male and female in Unite to keep things simple.

[@gabrielaragon9562]

The trailer gave me a hint about Meowscarada, those hips can't lie 😳

[@2ndLSFH25]

[@luigiboyinblu]

Love how despite Leafeon, Umbreon and especially Sylveon being canonically male in unite, they still receive mostly female-style holowear.

[@lobsterkurotora]

Fun fact: Even though Scizor is female, the Rider-style holosuit shows the model of a male Scizor.

[@2ndLSFH25]

Really 🤔?

[@Prince_Icarus]

Hello, some months ago I made a post on PoKeUni’s subreddit, there I explained that in the files, every Pokémon has gender/sex, even if they’re genderless in the mainlines. Following playable Pokémon are female according to their file: Lapras, Comfey, Chandelure, Mimikyu, Zoroark, Gardevoir, Blissey, Dodrio, Meowscarada, Scizor, Tsareena, Clefable, Wigglytuff, Espeon, and Glaceon. The rest of the playable Pokémon are all male, even Legendaries, even Mythicals, no exceptions. Miraidon, Mewtwo, Hoopa, etc. are all marked as “male” in the files. Yes, Sylveon is a pretty boy.

[@2ndLSFH25]

I might have come across these during my research, though I aimed for a simple video based on visual differences. Thanks for sharing it here for anyone who is interested

[@kingkhup9557]

Gardevoir used to actually be male in-game, but was changed during an update, since the genders of some of the pokemon are coded into the game, and the Ralts line was male originally (Ty ElChicoEevee for this info!) Tho I am sad for the change because the idea of Gardevoir being male is so cool, I wish we got more male/masc garde rep

[@Zolrain]

I remember hearing Zoroark is female. I think its because they went with the movie zoroark's gender which was female.
