Not even close
When I heard that Electro Griffin isEvolve Stage 2‘s newest hunter, I immediately assumed it wasPokémon‘s Zapdos. A griffin is a mythical bird-thing and “electro” obviously means electricity. Neat! I’d take down a monster with Zapdos, maybe with Articuno and Moltres on my sides.
Nope. Wrong. So goddamn wrong.
As it turns out, Electro Griffin is a movie character who has abilities like “The Laser Storm” and “The Final Lockdown” — a bunch of electricity-themed weapons that don’t make him a legendary Pokémon. It’s all very ’80s too, and it’snot the first time we’ve seen that today.
Electro Griffin is seemingly available to those with founders status, and unlockable with silver keys for everyone else. BecauseEvolve Stage 2doesn’t have any form of monetization yet, you can’t just pony up some cash to play as him. You have to earn Electro Griffin, just like you had to earn Zapdos back in 1998.
