#I think if I had the DLC I would definitely evolve the Kubfu into Single Strike Urshifu in Scarlet and Rapid Strike Urshifu in Violet

Some very interesting things about the Snacksworth Legendaries (plus Meloetta and the DLC-exclusive Proto Beasts and Neo Swords from Perrin’s quest for comparison because I felt like bringing Meloetta up a bit and I of course can’t go a post like this without bringing up the Proto Beasts and Neo Swords (although not Wake and Leaves because they’re event-exclusive rather than DLC-exclusive) according to Bulbapedia:

They’re all caught at level 70 except Kubfu who is caught at level 30. Meloetta is also caught at level 70 while the Proto Beasts and Neo Swords are (fittingly given Wake and Leaves are also caught at that level) caught at level 75

Their Tera types are of course fixed. The Swords of Justice, Eon Duo, Tao Trio and Light Trio all use the type shared in their group (Psychic for the Eon Duo). Everyone else (including others that are part of groups with a shared type) uses a type not matching the rest of their group but still matching one of their own types. The exception here is Lugia, who has the Water Tera type instead of Psychic (or Flying). Groudon also uses a type not matching itself but it gets a pass because it gains the Fire type in its Origin Form. Meloetta gets the Fighting Tera type which thinking about it isn’t as weird as I thought it was because I forgot its Pirouette form exists while the Proto Beasts and Neo Swords just have their primary types as their Tera type

A surprising amount of them don’t have a move matching their Tera type - Groudon, all three members of the Tao Trio, Solgaleo and both of Calyrex’s steeds are missing moves of their Tera types while Lugia’s only Water-type move is the status move Rain Dance. Meloetta is also missing a Fighting-type move but all of the Proto Beasts and Neo Swords have moves to make use of their Tera types

The few with multiple abilities have their main ability

The Swords of Justice are listed on Bulbapedia to be male. I don’t know whether this is someone on Bulbapedia doing something wrong or they’re like Carmine’s Sinistcha and in the data they’re listed as male even though their genders are unknown. Kubfu on the other hand is not listed with a gender so I’m assuming its gender is random (with the 7 in 8 chance of being male)
