SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword and Shield Datamine Thread

Should probably have mentioned the "arcto" duo I guess

It was pretty obvious they were talking about the Arcto fossils.
Fair enough, in that case pretend i said nothing :P
And personally, I don't mind more slush rush users either. Hail as archetype really needs... something... as the existance of G-max Lapras basically made even Aurora Veil redundant :(
Well, we do know the datamine is partial data. It was partial for Isle of Armor too (a very small amount of moves were incorrect or missing).
Since "small amount" isn't 0, I never excluded that there might be "slightly more" or less than what the Tundra datamine has provided so far.
Like, we talking of dex entries confirming the returning mons, tecnically nothing is preventing GF from just adding more.
Until we see the model in the game its not really confirmed. It never has been.
They themselves might not know (even though they are usually on point with this stuff). Either that or they are dropping a bigger dex update than initially suggested by previous leaks.

These Pokemon could potentially not even get Pokedex updates like what's happened before. They'll just "exist" like in SM/USUM.
We do know that some legendaries won't get Crown Tundra dex numbers. Though every legendary was confirmed in the dex leak, which very strongly suggests that they scrubbed the entries for everything that was planned to be coming back regardless of them having dex entries. Either that or there are some legendaries not in the datamined list, which in practice would mean returning mythicals in Dynamax adventures (which I'd love, but seems tremendously unlikely).
Eh, disagree.
It's likely they didn't bother with new entries for some pokemon like they did in USUM.
For reference, none of the pokemon (legendary or regular) findable in ultrarifts had dex entries or numbers, even though they were regularly catchable in the games themselves.
Sure, but the point is that there aren't any legendaries left to exclude. All of them are shown as having dex entries in the datamine, which means that there aren't any left to be missing from the datamine on the basis of lack of dex entries unless the "legendaries without Crown Tundra dex numbers" are actually unconfirmed mythicals.
I think the more likely explanation is that legends without dex entries still got visibly scrubbed, and Stantler is a last minute addition like Magearna was. Though it's certainly an eclectic choice.

I could see Stantler being a thing of like... wanting more winter-y Pokémon for the setting, and maybe feeling like they were relying on Pokémon already in the game too much. Perhaps also a lack of non-legendaries and there being no newly returning Gen 2 Pokémon aside from cross-evos weighed in on that.
Leaks coming soon?
Just a guess but possibly Regieleki, Regidraco, Calyrex, both horses, both Calyrex fusions (last four in the bottom right), plus shinies?

Landorus / 
Landorus-TTRs/TMs: Self-Destruct, Scary Face, Weather Ball, Sand Tomb, Body Slam, Endure
IoA Tutor: Scorching Sands
So, Lando has now access to Weather Ball and Scorching Sands, both being good special moves. Weather Ball is the nuts under sun, and Scorching Sands is STAB and can spread burns all over the place.
With moves like Calm Mind, Grass Knot, Earth Power, Psychic, Focus Blast, Sludge Bomb/Wave already in his arsenal, do you guys think that a Special set up/wallbreaker set can be at least viable, or the classic Physical oriented version will be the only way worth going?
Pretty sure that's almost certainly the case.
I can't get a clear view of the horses but they really do look literally like horses, and the Calyrex forms seem to be Calyrex riding the horses. I suppose that fits with them being the sovereign (Calyrex) and its steeds (the horses).
Regieleki + Shiny, Regidrago + Shiny, White Horse + Shiny, Black Horse + Shiny, Calyrex + Shiny, Calyrex riding White Horse + Shiny, Calyrex riding Black Horse + Shiny
Also the shiny variants of the Galarian birds are literally coloured after their Kantonian counterparts which is a nice touch

Where are you finding that?
I was semi-expecting Calyrex to be riding the horses with not many changes, though I wonder what a jackalope and horse fusion look like...
That aside, I'm wondering about the horses' types and if Calyrex's type will change post-'fusion'. We don't know anything about the horses sans their codenames so we can't guess on that front, though in hindsight I'm glad we got Calyrex's type as soon as it was revealed. I imagine a good number of people would expect it to be Fairy.
