How well do we expect Boltund to perform with its 90 attacking stats and 121 speed?

You will
Yeah, although Arcanine by the same logic would be a Legendary.
It VERY isn't.
can we all agree that sobble is a smol sad water bean that needs head pats...
...and that intelleon is honestly better than people think?

Thanks. This is going to be a challenge to even get to 1500! (if the scoring is the same).
I don’t think Inteleon will be OU material. Too much Ferro/Pex balance. But it might be an absolute menace in UU
Rooycoly's signature ability gives him +6 Speed as far as I know. Would made it broken if it is not Fire/Rock lol
Is it safe to say that we got a strong batch of starters this gen?
Yep. Fire and Water starters are great!
You mispellt: fire and grass.
Intelleon is going to go down as just a "much worse greninja" sadly, its bad moveset and ability don't really give him a favor over other offensive glass cannons.
I feel like Intelleon is gonna be like Duraludon and be a UU mon.
How well would Weakness Policy Cursola w/ Weak Armor work?
Likely really bad. Its too slow for even a +2 boost to make it faster than most mons, and its defense is so low it will probably die to most physical moves so it cant take advantage of weak armor. Its definitely not living any supereffective attack, so scratch weakness policy.
Was exploring options for the Nickit line and have to say I'm disappointed. There's no hope for using its physical movepool with 58 base Atk and then there's its usable 87 base SpA for a Nasty Plot set + Dark Pulse, coverage, Focus Sash and Unburden. Still, that's nothing to write home about... Then I thought well maybe it can make a name for itself with FEAR shaningans with Thief, Quick Attack, Parting Shot, and Ende- oh wait it doesn't get that! :[
Any other ideas for the Galarian fox?

Its only way of boosting its offences are Howl (and Competitive although its special movepool is barren) so I don’t think it will be fantastic.
That being said, its speed is fantastic and it makes good use out of Strong Jaw. Thunder Fang, Fire Fang, Crunch and Play Rough manages perfect neutral coverage. So it could perform quite well in say UU depending on the meta, so we’ll have to wait and see.
Ooooh it also gets Bulk Up...

It still hits really weak (90 Attack with a below 90 BP STAB), there’s better electrics for UU like Galvantula probably. It’s about as good as Zebstrika or base Raichu imo, which means it will be bad
What items would synergize really well with this Pokémon?
dont evolve it and use eviolite corsola-g
Got a question for morpeko. Since its signature move changes type each turn, could you get away without having a dedicated electric or dark move, to allow yourself to have even more coverage moves? Sure you may not always have that se attack needed, but with your speed raising each time its used it would be worth it i think?
If thats the case, how would be the best way to use it? Physical attack focused, shame it doesnt get any physical boosting items.
Aura wheel, psychic fangs, ice fang/seed bomb/fire fang/parting shot

Probably OU or UUBL.
Either it's pretty decent in OU or it's a freaking god in the UU meta that's too good for it.
Thunder Fang may technically be 65 base power, but with Strong Jaw, it's effectively 97.5 base power. Still not great coming from a base 90 Attack stat.
It also gets Wild Charge so I dunno where the below 90 power came from lol
Pretty badly
