Update on this. Also, good morning you all. Finally fell asleep at 7:00 am, couldn't resist the leak show anymore ;__;

Bro, my situation is more painful. I have to follow this thread at work, snitching free moments to use mobile phone. Then, when I get at home and can do the same without any risks, nothing more gets leaked.

Banned deucer.
I'm back from my eyes break, after using screens for 21h, a 3h break was needed. Thanks again for compiling everything, you guys are the best 
Just got back home to write about the new signature moves, and while Skele and Quax like the new moves, Meowscarada has a good chance of being broken Day 1.
To put it bluntly, if this weed cat gets Swords Dance, then these calcs become commonplace (Abomasnow is used because lazy, but Wood Hammer is set to 70 and crits):
Let that sink in, even with the absence of Protean, the signature move it gets will absolutely murder the tier it is placed in. I will not be surprised if this move alone will get Weed Cat banned if it gets even a handful more of tools.
Maybe that's why Skeledirge gets Unaware.

+1 252 Atk Life Orb Abomasnow Wood Hammer vs. 252 HP / 164+ Def Landorus-Therian on a critical hit: 250-294 (65.4 - 76.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after hail damage and Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Life Orb Abomasnow Wood Hammer vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Tyranitar on a critical hit: 367-432 (90.8 - 106.9%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
And even if it isn't in-game:
+2 252 Atk Life Orb Abomasnow Wood Hammer vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex on a critical hit: 212-251 (69.7 - 82.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Holy moly that's a lot of pages to catch up on but I finally did it. I'm loving the designs and new moves/abilities and I'm especially hoping that the Ice/Dragon pseudo can auto set the new snowstorm move.
The only thing that sucks is that the battle timer is still 20 minutes, how hard is it to just give us 10 more minutes.

Toxapex is in SV, we saw it in one of the official trailers.
No longer are starter HAs locked behind giveaways and such. Whether or not it's in game will depend on the availability of the Ability Patch.
Someone posted this earlier but to answer your question
You do indeed catch a 2nd Box Legendary presumably for trade fodder
I think Flower Trick is going to be really good, but keep in mind that it's still just a 105 BP Grass move. Is it strong? Definitely--but Grass isn't the best offensive type, and 105 BP isn't too unusual as far as base power goes. I haven't calced it, but Kartana probably hits harder with Leaf Blade.
Of course, if it gets decent coverage and SD, Protean will probably break it anyway.
I was hoping for her learning hex anytime, she is perfect for scorching sands abuse.
More important than being 105 BP is effectively ignoring intimidate and enemy def buffs
Do we think quark drive and protosynthesis will work with regular old electric terrain and drought respectively? If so, thats big for the viability of paradox mons below ubers since Torkoal and Pinchurchin have been confirmed to be returning. Pinchurchin is no Tapu Koko but at least its an enabler, provided that electric surge triggers quark drive and its not just hadron engine.
We're entering ROM hack territory.
Gallade might also get access to Aqua Cutter. This is a 20pp move that's not very effective against Sunflora, meaning it can't be Life Dew.

Koraidon and Miraidon's weather/terrain is just standard weather; the attack boosting component is conferred directly by the ability, conditional on said weather staying up.
Looks like an ability that came from a pet mod.
Assuming Critical Hit chance is the same and Leaf Blade has the same crit chance.
(1/8)*135 + (7/8)*90 = 16.875 + 78.75 = 95.625
Meowscada’s signature move is way stronger factoring in move alone.
It honestly doesn’t need its signature move to be broken (it has Protean after all and compare its stats to Greninja’s. Besides the lower offense it’s literally better and also benefits from Spore Immunity and Prankster immunity on switch ins too), and I honestly prefer these Crit/Always hit moves since it lowers the luck elememt to just.
Honestly if Wicked Blow was a little bit weaker or had a drawback similar to Close Combat, everyone would love that move.
Long overdue. Gallade deserved it
OK. That thing is awesome. Found the third member of my squad.
Dex for this guy.
Showdown getting a shoutout!! New mascot?
I'm not expecting that effect in particular, since it's already used for the sound subclass
