When exactly will we know the stats for Smackdown?
I have 6-7 good Larvitars ready for Smackdown but at what point on Saturday will we know if SD lives up to the hype? My understanding is that we MUST evolve during the 3 hour CD window. Since Asia has CD first we won't be able to learn from the advice of our fellow trainers in Europe / North America etc. How about trainers in Aus / NZ / Pacific Islands ... does your CD begin at 12 Japan time (like us in SE Asia)? Or do you begin earlier? If yes, hopefully we will get some SD insight from Down Under.

There is most likely going to be a game master update before the Asia CD goes live which will probably tell us the final stats, but you shouldn't worry about it either way. It's very unlikely that SD doesn't live up to the hype, it would have to be absolute garbage as a fast move for that to happen.
