SPOILERS! Pokemon Sun and Moon Full Game Datamine General Discussion Thread

Unless they meant zooming as in aiming :P
Pollen Puff sounds like Rimbombee's signature move, but it's otherwise really nice, as it's Bug Buzz for enemies and Heal Pulse for allies.
Merciless sounds like a really... uhm... merciless ability for stall.
Weather Wars take two.
Lol, basically one of the fastest non-legendary non-UB mons in the gen!
GF obviously cares about VGC the most, but, Speed Swap Ribombee aside, I don't get this general speed nerf... this could encourage people to run old gen mons which are usable in VGC instead of the new ones D:
We also have Liquidation: 85 BP, Physical, Water, may lower Defense.
It's Waterfall for slow Mons!
And Lurantis better get Superpower via Tutor eventually so it can take advantage of Contrary.
I know this is a bit far off in topic considering most of the discussion here is about base stats, but does anyone know if the soundtrack for the game has been revealed yet? I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see if the Battle Tree includes remade trainer themes from the old games.
Comfey gets a signature move that heals more in grassy terrain and it has priority on healing moves. Tapu Bulu is bulky and auto sets grassy terrain. New cancer combo confirmed.
Passimian gets close combat and 120 base attack. Unfortunately its speed is mediocre at 80, but passing contrary to it could be a thing. It also gets some weird support moves like rain dance.
Palossand actually gets reliable recovery which is boosted under sand, sadly no trick room.
Type Null and Silvalley aren't breedable
Drampa has Cloud Nine as a HA which is interesting

Really hope hail gets a buff and boosts the stats of ice types like sandstorm does. If it boosted speed...
Good. My preferred tiers free from those ugly genies.
Well Ribombee has a Doubles niche. And geeze that is a friggin crazy, albeit kinda situational move for a defensive 'mon.
Yeah, but do you want to know the weirdest thing about this Gen? Bewear gets Dragon Claw.
That's it, I'm out!
Slush Rush Boosts the Pokémon’s Speed stat in a hailstorm.
Also we now have a new "Ate" ability:
Galvanize Normal-type moves become Electric-type moves.\nThe power of those moves is boosted a little.
Don't get me wrong, I love the lower tiers, but I'd much rather have them distributed all over the tiers... but whatever we don't know how everything will pan out. We'll see!
Well shoot. Guess I better be careful which nature I want unless you can get multiples.
"Hey, Mega Heracross, wanna switch in?"
This might interest CAP people more than anything else, but Silvally gets Parting Shot.
This.
Also, I'm curious on how the meta will settle with fields (which all seem viable until now) and weather; I will really appreciate it if all weathers and fields will be viable archetypes in the top tiers.
Tsareena has Play Rough, High Jump Kick, Acrobatics, U-Turn, Dual Screens, and Aromatherapy at its disposal. I. Love. It.
Also, Comfey gets Floral Healing, which is like Heal Pulse, but it gets buffed by Grassy Terrain.

Okay. Fair enough. I'm sure some will be top tier like some of the Kokos.
Sounds awesome. Acrobatics is something I did not expect. Aromatherapy + Dual screens makes it even better.
Alolan forms plus everything else is in this one: https://paste.ee/r/zYMUr
Alolan Golem line are the only mons with Galvanize. I think Magnet Pull is more useful for them, though (think about it, a Stealth Rock setter that can trap and eliminate Skarmory).

Usually we don't get any until the 3rd game or remakes
