Ok so we have Rock Mushroom Pokemon, and Breloom is in the game, now we have Scuttle Bug.Possible skitter bug in the background of the camera features section.
Is Steel Terastallize gonna be Metal Cap too?

Why would they nerf rest? Is not a popular move, it would only make sense if we are getting PLA sleep mechanics, but I really doubt that.
I wonder if other healing moves have had a similar nerf. Spamming Recover, Roost and the like for 16 turns probably isn't the most exciting form of gameplay from Game Freak's perspective, and reducing the PP to just 5-8 would make healing a more precious resource that requires more strategy to maintain in the log term.
Rest nerfed from 10 PP to 5 PP
Watch the Psychic or Fairy one look like a Star Bit. And while we’re at it, Minior in general exists.Ok so we have Rock Mushroom Pokemon, and Breloom is in the game, now we have Scuttle Bug.

PLA Rest was actually kind of stupid if you knew how to use it, and depending on the set-up it’s essentially a better Recover.It looks like they may actually have switched to PLA sleep. In the terra battle with Chansey both Farigiraf and Drifblim have the sleep icon, but are able to attack.

(this is after Drifblim got knocked out, but earlier it also has the sleep icon and uses Shadow Ball)

The more interesting thing to note is the description of Rest. It matches the main series description word for word. This is an indirect confirmation that the Drowzy status is probably not in SV since if it was, the description should match PLA's: "The user restores its own HP but also becomes drowsy."
At the same time, RocketSurgery makes a valid point that makes sense about PLA's drowzy being in. Perhaps Rest still inflicts old sleep, while other sleep moves inflict drowzy sleep?
I think it'd be time we stop dozing on copium that the PLA mechanics (any of them) hit the main series.The more interesting thing to note is the description of Rest.

it's wild to me how NOTHING the explanation was, even the site doesnt clarify literally anything. Just "wow, you can find eggs!"What I'm most interested about are breeding mechanics. This' been the most important aspect of Pokémon to me since Gen IV -I truly love everything related to this things, thats why I'm a huge fan of SA2 Chao Island etc-, and I don't grasp at all how the new hatching egg thing will be. I hope it turns out fine.

That's how I feel about a lot of things shown in the trailer. They carefully show just minor tidbits while still leaving a number of unanswered questions. Like, will the PLA style dynamic overworld catching be included, in addition to the traditional catching which we have already seen? How about PLA's move learning changes?it's wild to me how NOTHING the explanation was, even the site doesnt clarify literally anything. Just "wow, you can find eggs!"
Hasnt that been the explanation for pokemon breeding for last 20 years though. The breeders also just "found eggs" without even knowing where they're fromit's wild to me how NOTHING the explanation was, even the site doesnt clarify literally anything. Just "wow, you can find eggs!"
I don't care about that I mean specifically the mechanics of it.Hasnt that been the explanation for pokemon breeding for last 20 years though. The breeders also just "found eggs" without even knowing where they're from
I floated as a brief idea before that Ditto would get dexited (mainly off-hand while discussing Transform's weird interaction with Type Change mechanics like Multitype and speculating Terastalizing)
With the Picnic system as a way for Eggs to appear in lieu of Breeding (the main utility of Ditto), this is seeming less absurd as a suggestion now.
what makes it a 2 layer punCud Chew got absolutely gutted in localization btw. Its original Japanese name is Ruminant which is a freakin brilliant two-layer pun why did they take this from us

Honestly I kind just of expect that you can have dedicated "spots" in the picnic UI or area to destinate pokemon to "breed" into.I would think Ditto would still be involved in the Egg spawning mechanic for Picnic somehow, they weren't totally clear on how the Picnic mechanic for producing Eggs actually works. I think Egg groups are still involved somehow even in this form of Egg spawning, and it would still depend on whether different mons in your party share the same egg group and are of opposite genders.
So Ditto is probably gonna be involved in some way. I don't see Ditto getting Dexited at all in SV in that sense, and even with this new method I think Ditto will still be necessary in some ways so I imagine if anything, this is one of those games where Ditto is returning. The only games I see Ditto getting Dexited in are future Legends games where breeding straight up isn't a thing.
What puzzled me is why they just didn't give it Psychic Surge. Same result plus a boost to Psychic moves.So... Queenly Majesty clone and something that looks like free recycle for 1 turn.
