Here are starter questions to give the thread some direction: - Do returning items such as Life Orb and Expert Belt still have the same effects as in other games? - Does rain do the same thing as in Legends: Arceus (0.75x Fire damage, no effect on Water moves)? - What is the Plus Move bonus for...

Probable spoilers, proceed at your own risk! Because this game is not turn based the information gathered here won't be very useful for simulator purposes, but it's still nice to have for completeness and so people can get into thoroughly researching game mechanics. Raw data courtesy of...
