SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword & Shield Pre-Release SPOILERS - Check Post 2!

It seems the direction for TMs now is mostly filler moves (with a few exceptions like U-turn). The stuff you really want is the TRs. Making TMs decent for in-game (assuming they come early enough) but TRs are for competition.

Are TR repurchaseable?
 
As long as Iron Ball continues to exist it will be strictly better.

Not necessarily, as Iron Ball always halves your Speed, making it detrimental outside of Trick Room (whereas Room Service does nothing).

Room Service could have some utility as a Trick Room check on a non-Trick Room team, but I'm not sure.
 
IDK if this is an just an ingame thing, but the Corvisquire on stream seemed to restore its health when it Dynamaxed. Anyone got a clip of this?
 
I remember reading somewhere that in the demo, terrains now seemed to effect even flying mons. In the stream that's been going around, Dynamax Eldegoss used Max Overgrowth, and I don't believe the leaker's Corvisquire was healed by grassy terrain. The video has been stalling frequently though so I might have missed it.
 
If Stonejourner is a Sword exclusive, what's its counterpart? Falinks?
Duraludon feels like a semi-natural counterpart, they're both big non-animal pokemon that do not evolve. Also, Duraludon has its rivalry with Tyranitar, which is Shield exclusive.

But I feel like GF would have said in advance if Duraludon is version exclusive, it was one of the first pokemon revealed
 
That depends, did they buff it?
It was already buffed from 14 BP 85 acc to 25 BP 95 acc come Gen 6; it's solid enough as is without need for a further buff.

Unless they decide to make it perfectly accurate like Icicle Spear and Bullet Seed, but I don't see that being likely since these two started out perfectly accurate, whereas while they have buffed Pin Missile and Rock Blast's accuracy from their debut generations, they seem to want to keep their inaccuracy as part of their identity.
