Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
"Tutor Move" is an incorrect description- it refers to evolution moves, i.e. moves that the Pokémon will learn upon evolving. Bayleef has Giga Drain as a "Tutor" move and that's what we saw it learn upon evolving in gameplay footage from the demos over the last couple of months.
Dazzling Gleam and/or Mooblast will probably be a TM, and I'm sure Meganium will have access to it. We don't anything about TM compatibility yet.
Pyroar gets Earth Power now. They finally gave that thing more special coverage outside of Tera Blast. That's if Earth Power sticks. Looking at you Ice Beam Gardevoir in Legends Arceus.
Notably Hoopa and Volcanion aren't in.
Also form now on the most forgotten Pokémon are Skitty and Tailow lines - they're the only non-Legendary non-Mytical Pokémon not featured in any new Dex since Kalos.
What Mewtwo is going to be doing in this game is, for me, the last big game design mystery of Z-A. Given Arceus' track record I would hope it gets some sort of boss encounter with its Megas, but where, why and how?
Tbh I count “screwed over” mons as the ones who haven’t appeared in SV or SWSH’s regional Dex’s. If they haven’t appeared in Switch VGC they fall into that group IMO.

it was just kind of chilling in a cave in xy tbf they can just kind of ram it anywhere. mewtwo hanging out in sushi high roller. driving a lumiouse city cab. playing blackjack with the ghost girl.

The mental image of calling a cab only for Mewtwo to poke its head out and telekinetically pull you to take you to some other part of town to beat you up is hilarious.
The pastebin isn't reloading with the TM moves for me did Pyroar and Drampa get any noteworthy new coverage besides the level-up Earth Power for the former that was previously mentioned

Skimming through. Centro (yeah I know) posted stats/moves. Over 1000 entries though that counts forms and even counting forms that seems high. Will skim through that list to. Does that list look legit? So far it is the best consolidated stats/move pools I've come across but not sure if it is fake.
Wow! Earth Power was my "stretch goal" of wishes, and I can't believe it really happened! And I have a good feeling those two moves will be kept for Champions, since they're pretty much given to Meganium due to its barren movepool.
GameFreak still owes Flareon a lot more after withholding Flare Blitz from it for so long, but it's a nice gesture regardless. It already has certain moves that the rest of of Eeveelutions don't, such as Superpower (which it did lose in SV due to no TM, but alas).

There are not 1000 individual entries in that list. They skip over the mons not used in this game and just list them with their internal numbers, for example Drampa is 1143 and it skips to Falinks at 1250 with the rest of the mons in between being unused but still having slots.
the way this is written makes me think tm also means move relearner, since light of ruin is counted as both a tm and a level up move even though making a tm for a single pokemon makes little to no sense
