Aegi has always been great in BSS, it's been consistently on the most used mons list.
I don't know much about VGC, but I recall it being good in some non GS Cup formats.

According to a stream currently running, I think I've seen Hydro Pump listed as a TR

In fairness, that conversation happened before it became clear that SmashPassing was a thing. Knowing what we do now, yes, the move definitely needs to remain banned.
Unrelated note, but I love the flavour of the wolf legendary learning Moonblast, especially when that move is probably as utterly useless on it as Outrage was on Xerneas.

What’s the aegislash nerf?
Its 150 base stats in both forms have been reduced to 140.
Assuming you don't invest in it that leaves Aegislash with 6% less bulk lol.
There's no post-game. Battle Tower and keep walking around the wild areas to catch Pokémon you already have. Altho that was to be expected, Pokémon haven't had a real Post-Game since 3DS era.
Ah damn, although yeah I expected that, well is the story at least sizable?
So the Rookidee line are Saiyans. Got it.
That I can't answer, because I haven't played the games nor spoiled with details about the adventure, but I'm pretty sure it'll be at least equal to most Pokémon games.
Which 3DS games had a real postgame? Pokemon's post game died with the Nintendo DS
Uh, Delta Episode was pretty comprehensive in OR/AS I'd say.
Story seems to be decent, albeit a fairly standard fare and there's a postgame episode. It also feels complete in a way that makes a third version very unlikely.
There is also Max Raid Battles, which look like there will be content releases or seasonal events.
Thinking about it, that is a possible source of post-Eternatus dex entries if we're being optimistic -- it seems unlikely that Pokemon you can't get at the time of the game's release would be required for dex completion or otherwise conspicuously missing.
Not to sound like a downer, but I'm seeing a lot of questions here that could simply be answered by looking at the 2nd post of the thread. It's the hub of info basically includes everything from the new Pokémon (and their stats), to the entire dex that's in Galar, to new moves / abilities / items, to TMs/TRs, to even dex entries. The only things it doesn't really cover are:
- Relearners (too many of these, though I guess a list of notable moves could work)
- Story stuff (most people don't want to look at these)
- Miscellaneous info like Raid stuff (prob have to sift through a lot to include notable stuff)
So I urge people to look at the post if you have something that I mentioned above.

There is a bit more to the post-game that was not mentioned. It is:
The Zacian/Zamazenta plot that involves the Galar royalty concludes in the post-game. The main game instead deals with the League Challenge and Eternatus.
Wow, they really wanted to make hazard clearing more practical. I like it.
Oh. I meant to say good* post game died with the DS
I was watching a bit of that stream, and... it seemed that Gossifleur speed rose after she used Rapid Spin
Did... did they gave Rapid Spin another secondary effect, or was that speed increase something else?

Man, I wish mega blastoise was around to see this.
Yes, that's what I was saying. Pokémon post-game died IN 3DS, which is the same as Pokémon post-game died after V Gen.
I assume you mean the DS era. We’re still in the 3ds era until Friday

I hope it's clear now. If not: Pokémon Post-Game ended with BW2.
