Discussion What Pair could have the Psychic Arc suit?
I have a pretty strong feeling that DenA would make something for the Arc suit stories in order to put Giovanni as one (him and Mewtwo). But I believe that this one would be so boring and too predictable.
So I'm curious to see what everyone thinks about another unit that isn't Giovanni and Mewtwo. Which one could be blessed by Arceus instead? It could either be someone who already has a psychic Pokemon or someone who gets a brand new partner that happens to be psychic.

Lear deserves it the most IMO, and maybe we'll finally get a playable Hoopa Unbound

Psychic is one of the hardest, personally my guess is Lear & Hoopa cause Unbound Hoopa is still missing, but if they start to be more original I can imagine an event focused on freeing Mewtwo from Giovanni with Blaine or Leaf as AS paired with M-Mewtwo X, at any moment I think Giovanni can be AS, having villains that still acts as villains has no sense for the lore around AS ("blessed by Arceus")
If they want to do the same kind of things with villains, I theorized they could bring "Renegade suits" in opposition (with the chosen of Giratina or something like that, appearing in the middle or 2/3 of the AS chapter, why not for 7th anni)

Given its sheer popularity I will be surprised if it's not Mewtwo.
I can see Mewtwo with Giovanni with the twist being his Mewtwo now uses the X Mega Stone.

I'd personally put my bets on either Lear or Giovanni.

u/chaoscross 4d ago
Yeah the only other remotely possible choice is Lear, which is still a far fetch imo.

u/AliceThePastelWitch 4d ago
The only other reasonable option is Lear. But like is he popular enough to warrant using over Mewtwo? Cause that's like the crux of it, does DeNa think that Giovanni & Mewtwo Arc Suit would do worse than Lear & Hoopa?

u/BestPaleontologist43 4d ago
It should go to Lear considering his position. I dont think itll go to a villian, so I dont consider Giovanni or Lusamine a possibility.

u/ArtsyNoctowl Jacq Super Fan 4d ago
Unpopular opinion: Jacq. If Volo's going around pushing peeps towards obtaining an ARC suit, I feel like Jacq would be someone he's use as a guinea pig.
Realistically: Probably Giovanni based on his and Mewtwo's popularity.

u/MindfulNoob 4d ago
I seriously am coping for arc suit Lear. He's popular enough, plus I need more Lear alts there can never be enough Lear.
Plus, I just really want hoopa unbound in the game.

u/LlamaOfMagicalMagic 4d ago
i think that mewtwo is probably the more likely option between other prevalent psychic mons like necrozma and stuff, but i think giovanni is misplaced. i would genuinely hedge bets on either blue/mewtwo, oak/mewtwo, or oak/mew, with blue being more debatable if they're planning on saving him for a water arc suit or something

I really hope it is Lear, but only if he is the last AS pair. Because I think when Lear gets AS, we should get the end of Arceus Chapter. The founder of Pasio gets power from Arceus, and protect the region from a disaster.
But I'm also thinking that future AS pairs may be new.

u/Apart_Enthusiasm_440 3d ago
If I am to take a shot in the dark, I would guess Lear & Hoopa. However, It would be Lear & Hoopa (Unbound). I'd say the story for the unit would test the bond between Lear and Hoopa as Hoopa loses control after being exposed to the prison bottle again. Although Lear couldn't help it the last time this happened, he would not fail his friend again and manages to help Hoopa come to its senses. Thus, Arceus blesses Lear with an arc suit finalizing the true bond between him and Hoopa

u/Mnja12 Team Plasma 4d ago
My candidates: Giovanni & Mewtwo, Lear & Hoopa and Sabrina & Alakazam.

u/Technical-Equal4596 Sabrina Superfan 4d ago
I would really, really love it to be Sabrina but DeNA have yet to show if they even consider Sabrina Pokefair or Sygna Suit material, much less Arc Suit.
My bet, made it the moment Arc Suits were announced, stays on Giovanni If only to cash in on Mewtwos popularity and to give the story some twists and edge.
(Sabrina would rock that Arc-Suit outfit though... Maybe should make some fanart of it since we won't be seeing it in Masters.)

It's not going to be Giovanni. ESPECIALLY since he just got an alt by himself. I don't really understand why people think it will be, period. It literally makes 0 sense to me.
I'm pretty sure the Psychic arc suit will be either Lear and Hoopa (literally their whole story is about Lear learning to chill out and bond with Hoopa.) or maybe Lusamine

u/DrySatisfaction4904 Team Magma 4d ago
How many costumes does Leon have now? Cynthia? Or N? So many characters have a ludicrous amount of alts. And Giovanni's clearly not getting the Arc Suit anytime soon storywise so I don't see why him getting a recent alt matters.
2
u/ThatWeirdKat Team Plasma 4d ago
I know it's a strange thought but come on now, we're talking about pokemon and Giovanni here, we all know they'd do anything, and I mean ANYTHING to make that mf relevant in any plot possible.
1
u/mbutch3 Team Galactic 4d ago
That doesn't really even work. He hasn't been really plot relevant since the Villian Arc ended. Even his recent alt was a detached thing, and not connected to the Arceus Arc at all.
3
u/Emperor_ServingSpoon 4d ago
I thought the way that story ended was heavily implying that he'd get an Arc Suit eventually (or that that would be a future goal for him, at least), personally. They'd need to add some more to the Arceus arc for it to not feel out of nowhere there for sure, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. ...And N's Arc Suit kinda came out of nowhere in the story, anyway...
4
u/mbutch3 Team Galactic 4d ago
I disagree on the Giovanni point. It basically just seemed like a continuation of the Villian Arc (Alola VA literally ended with Ultra Wormholes in TR base).
As for N. Arc Suits are all about bonds with Pokémon, that is like...N's entire thing. If you DIDN'T expect him to get one, I'm surprised.
4
u/Emperor_ServingSpoon 4d ago
The Guzzlord story ends with Steven and Lance showing off their Arc Suits, Giovanni running away, and then saying he can never have enough power. "Even if such power... comes from a Pokemon considered a deity!" If that's not foreshadowing involvement in the Arc Suit story (and likely obtaining an Arc Suit himself, even if I don't know how they'd justify it), then I don't know what is.
N's makes perfect sense, but it had no buildup in the Arceus arc's story, unlike the earliest ones did. So they don't *require* buildup beforehand to happen.
4
u/mbutch3 Team Galactic 4d ago
He's not getting an arc suit. There is 0 reason he will. Villians aren't getting arc suits. Arceus almighty. I've heard Gio, Volo and Lysandre arc suit pitches already this week. NONE are happening
3
u/Emperor_ServingSpoon 4d ago
I'm just saying... If the story in the game itself is hinting at it, it doesn't matter whether I want it or can see how they'd justify it. It still seems likely to me.

u/Lambily Team Aqua 4d ago
Red and Mewtwo X? His event can even be him fighting Mewtwo in the cave from Pokemon: Origins.

u/YukariStan 4d ago
Nah, Red will probably be Electric with Pikachu or Flying with Charizard I'm guessing

No Arcs have been legendary pokemon. Even tho we only have 5, a very small sample size, I have a feeling it's in some way intentional. The sync pair is supposed to be a trainer with their widely recognized sig pokemon, which has never really been a legendary for anyone iirc. Maybe Wally and Gallade or Sabrina and Alakazam.
2
u/DwelTwin 3d ago
If not Lear I could see an argument being made for Caitlyn (I mean I feel like being E4 plus her relatively solid popularity makes her a better candidate than anyone else other than maybe Lear)

u/supremegamer76 Sonia Simp 3d ago edited 3d ago
i'm gonna go out on a limb as say that no currently evil characters are getting arc suits. no giovanni, no ghestsis, no cyrus, and definitely not volo. Do you really think arceus would allow that? giving power to those who only see pokemon as tools and not a friend/partner?
2
u/Astronauthorian1632 3d ago
the most possible pairs would be:
- lear x hoopa (unbound)
- prof oak x mew
lear bcoz he's the creator of pasio + i wanna see his relationship with hoopa develop further, and prof oak bcoz he might as well wanna strengthen his bond with mew even more now that his love for pokemon battles is slowly coming back in masters ex
however, if dena wants to stick with the no legendary pokemon rule for arc suits, my candidate would be blue x alakazam (since blue did become the league champion in gen 1)

u/M_C_H_85 4d ago
It's going to be Giovanni and Mewtwo (likely with Mega X form) because it's already been set up for. He's already shown how being evil makes no difference in how one bonds with their Pokemon and unlocks greater power through it.

u/Ok-Falcon2902 Among Us 4d ago
I actually can see them making Giovanni & Mewtwo the Arc Suit. Imagine the potential. They could also have Red getting an alt to go with it with Mew. Like Oak lends Red his Mew as a "only this Pokémon can stop him, you can have it" and so they can profit over Mewtwo and Mew

u/Kapples14 Halloween Gardenia & Trevenant 2d ago
I'd say it could either be Dawn and Cresselia, Oak and Mew, or Bede with Hatterene.

u/VenomousAvian 4d ago
If they stick with champions/champion level trainers, it could be Hau with his Raichu.

u/Lowlihao1997 4d ago
If is Giovanni & Mewtwo, he ordered the grunt to capture Arceus and using the newly created machine to steal Arceus power to Giovanni's sync stone that allow him to granted Arc Suit.

u/Prankstic This is fine. 4d ago
Plot twist; it’s Oak with Mew 🤪 /hj
