G-Slowbro in general is pretty disappointing though. Learnset is basically the same except with some new poison moves (but not Toxic Spikes!) and all around less-optimal stat spread.

No, not really, 95/95 bulk is actually pretty decent for something like Galarian Slowbro, and although it's not much to write home about, it's still something, you do have to give it that.
 
more cram-o-matic combinations
also 4 apricorns give you the respective ball

Yea, an 80bp flying stab isnt bad considering u keep g

I would like to know Dual Wingbeat's distribution

Specifically for Charizard, Ninjask, and Talonflame.

EDIT:

Now it's really time for Scyther to leave PU (maybe even NU) with 120 BP Flying STAB thanks to Technician.

Scyther is definitely not gonna be pu anymore with lower speed level, heavy duty boots AND a 120 bp stab move

Some neat move tutors I’ve found:
- scyther gets dual wingbeat
- steelix gets steel roller & scorching sands
- Sharpedo, barraskewda, Milotic, and Primarina get flip turn
- Weezing-g gets corrosive gas & misty explosion
- most fightings get coaching
- dhelmise gets steel roller & poltergeist
- indeedee gets terrain pulse & expanding force
- pincurchin gets rising voltage

Oh, I'm so happy that Scyther gets a good flying stab that's technician boosted. 120BP is excellent, plus it can mess up subs. Scizor doesn't get stab, but it's still 120bp flying move...would that help him in this current meta?
 
Zarude has a pretty weird movepool, but pretty solid. It can learn Grassy Glide and gets Sucker Punch from breeding which is really nice. It seemingly gets Thunder Wave, Spikes, U-Turn, Toxic Spikes...and Scald. LUL. EDIT: This is likely an error in the format.

Sharpedo and Barraskewda getting Flip Turn is pretty nice-both are fast and while Flip Turn isn't strong, the momentum is obviously the big appeal.

Rising Voltage specifically doubles in power when the target is on terrain i.e. grounded. So running it over Thunderbolt does mean that for instance Specs Koko wouldn't be able to OHKO specially defensive Corviknight. (Presumably still worth it, but there is at least a small drawback.)

Specially Defensive Corviknight is already dead in the 1v1 no matter what attack Koko is running, it's a lose-lose scenario for it, so in a practical sense, it's irrelevant.

If I wanted a Poison-type Regen, I'd just use Amoong. Similar bulk (114/70/80 vs 95/95/70) with access to status (including Toxic, which Slowbro doesn't get).

And if I wanted a Psychic-type Regen, there's normal Slowbro with a superior statspread.
 
Seems a good chunk of Fire-types can get access to Scorching Sands:

-Charizard
-Sandslash
-Ninetales
-Dugtrio
-Arcanine
-Rapidash
-Steelix
-Marowak
-Rhyperior
-Flareon
-Mew
-Torkoal
-Flygon
-Claydol
-Hippowdon
-Excadrill
-Krookodile
-Golurk
-Heatmor
-Reshiram
-Diggersby
-Incineroar
-Pallosand
-Pyukumuku
-Cinderace
-Coalossal
-Sandaconda
-Centiskorch

Wouldn't make much sense to require transfers to complete the dex. I'd assume we'll get them with the Crown Tundra, where some of them have been confirmed to be in raids.

I mean my thought was they were all just shoved at the end of the dex. Treated like Zarude, basically
