It looks like Normalize is still in the same step it used to be, Hidden Power and Weather Ball were unaffected by it.
No
Because Gamefreak doesn't write out real ability descriptions, which the only thing about abilities that can be datamined. They have to be tested.
so the beast ball can be use in any pokemon? what special propieties does it have, a catch rate boost for UB?
You can use it on any Pokemon, I don't know the success rate I'm afraid but it seemed pretty poor, took 3 balls on a female grubbin with status and half health^
Very inefficient but still, the animation looks beautiful
IIRC the datamined text said it has a lower success rate on non-Ultra Beasts.
(1) Has Trick Room the same negative priority (-6)?
(2) Does Trick Room last 5 turns including the turn in which you cast it, such as in the previous generation?
(3) What is the effect of a Z-boosted Trick Room?
(4) Does Guts still ignore the detrimental effect of burn?
Thanks for the answers.

Expected, but Shields Down is immune to Skill Swap (the move fails).
Seems to be the Battle Tree, so my guess is that this was a beta Kommo-o that didn't get removed after they finalized its official movepool.
Just out of curiosity, can anyone check to see if Desolate Land and/or Primordial Sea have been altered in any way? A small part of me hopes that Primordial Sea will now "wash away" Ground-type attacks in addition to dousing Fire-type attacks, so that Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon are on more level ground (or sea or whatever).
that was my first thought, then i thought "future event."
wishful thinking but Pichu gets Volt Tackle by having a parent hold light ball, yet Volt Tackle is not in the datamine move list.
More Special Egg Moves like this would be interesting, but very very unlikely.
Not sure if this was even tested back in Black/White or X/Y days or if it's different in Sun/Moon, but how does Wonder Room stack with Power Trick? Are the Att/Def stats swapped before Def/Sp.D swapped (from Wonder Room), or is the Def/Sp.D swapped before the Att/Def swap? An easy test would be to use a Smeargle that knows Wonder Room and Power Trick and baton pass that to a Blissey.
A question from the Terrain thread: Now that Misty Terrain blocks Confusion, how does it interact with Swagger?
This is a good point. Seems like the case where the Sun and Moon Official Strategy Guide might give a few handy secret details. I've seen hidden info that people didn't know about until reading the Player's Guide in past generations. Special egg moves may be unlikely, but it doesn't hurt to check.
Edit: Pikachu learns Volt Tackle through a move tutor now according to this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=224248464&postcount=4078

Buffed.
Maybe I got skipped over but I'd love to get an answer to this, if possible.
Does Toxic Thread inflict regular poison or toxic poison?
Yeah when I tested it, they both seem to stack together.
