That too would be a Pokemon that's only available for the final boss fight.

Also are there two sets of tms now!?!?

Obviously I have no say in the matter, but I highly doubt that they would be added before the actual release of the game.
Speaking of rotom- have all its formes been confirmed?
Just as any other type could switch out from TTar before? I don’t see why Ghosts and Psychics (2 not overpowered types) needed an arbitrary nerf from the existence of this move
Nah. That's its full form -- it has a weakened Fairy-only form, and turns into the full Steel/Fairy form with a specific held item.
Quag? Trash? He’s chilling in UU rn
And is now better than before as it's one of the very few bulky Waters left.
Removing Hidden Power is so good. I can't be the only one who used it exclusively on Showdown and not in-game because getting the specific values needed for a specific type of HP through breeding was almost impossible
Edit: for anyone asking about Unown, if Nature Power still exists that is largely the same lore-wise

Based on the naming conventions (Eternatus 1 is the boss battle form that's unobtainable elsewhere), it's more likely that the item just gives the 'regular' Zacian and Zamazenta Steel typing rather than changing the stats as well.

Im pretty sure no one ever used Hidden Power in-game unless playing competitively. It makes total sense why they would axe it, to be honest.
All alternate forms have that naming convention, and we have already seen Zamazenta get the stat changes in a player's hands from holding the item.
Just when I thought GF couldn't get any stupider.
Does Clef finally get softboiled again?
150 stats in both forms changed to 140 and King's Shield now only gives -1 Attack.
Mega Ray has a new friend in AG, oh, wait.
Happiness evos don't affect competitive. We had some issues at tournaments where we had both players with digital versions and had to trade the team of one of them to a cart game to be able to setup streaming. The stream was delayed because the person had a Return Snorlax and the cartridge didn't have enough happiness berries to max it. They probably thought of something like this, but also for rental teams.
TPC is partly owned by Game Freak. They know what's bad on VGC and balance the game focusing specifically on championship play, not single player per se.
I hope this is enough to keep him out of Uber. One of my fave mons.
Even if he is OU he's still gonna be prominent in Uber as a way to handle the big legendaries in there.
1/3rd owned but both are independent entities.
I'm not saying Gamefreak is ignorant to VGC, just that we shouldn't be surprised when we see singles focused balance changes as well as VGC. Gamefreak isn't biased.
Does Aegislash really want to use close combat over sacred sword? It's a bit of extra power, but I'm not sure compromising on its bulk with the stat drops is worth it
Can anyone confirm if soft boiled got removed from the game? Nothing learns it according to the data sheet?
Anything to have us believe we'll be able to get zen mode Darmanitan normally like you could in B+W?
Floette isnt even in, what the hell is up with this move? Why are they not giving up on this pokemon already? Someone in gamefreak must rlly like it
Its description is intact, so anything you transfer from Home with Softboiled keeps it. It's just not learned by anything in Sword/Shield.
