Huh, interesting. I just looked it up
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_base_stats_(Generation_IX)
Can't find any other Pokemon with base stat total higher than 535 that can evolve (Mega Evolve aside)

It beats Type: Null by one point. I imagine it's going to be a Scyther situation where they just reallocate the stats.

I like the new Raikou, don't get why it's getting so much hate.

It's a real shame the future pokemon have such boring designs, I hoped they'd spice them up in the DLCs but nope they're still just bland robots.

I mean, they kind of tell you that when they're all called some variation of Iron ____.

i can't wait til we get the final mon of the future, Iron Pokemon

The Pokemon World Championship are happening right now. During the opening ceremony they said some of the games would have an additional announcement during the closing ceremony so that's something to watch out for. Generally these aren't very big announcements and are something along the line of a new Pokemon or move.

Estimated time for the closing ceremonies is Aug 13 1am PDT / 4am EDT. But, strictly speaking they occurs after VGC finals end so the time can vary:

As an aside, there is also a Cherish Ball Gastrodon Mystery Gift event going on via the code "23WCSGASTR0D0N":

Part 2 of the DLC will have all past starters
New Moves:
Psychic Noise (PSY) - deals damage and causes Heal Block
Upper Hand (FGT) - will hit before a targets priority move
Tachyon Cutter (STL) - guaranteed to hit twice (wording is ambiguous but my educated guess is it also bypasses accuracy)
Thunderclap (ELC) - Will hit before an opponents attack

And a new 19th Tera type was shown, which appears to be all types at once, certainly related to that new Legendary turtle(?) thing.

So how would this work, it would only be weak to rock attacks?

There are currently no details about it, nor have any of the leaks explained it.

So we are supposed to be excited about returning Pokemon now..?

The announcement was made during the World Championships so it was targeted more towards competitive VGC players. The return of Incineroar is a big deal.
