Having Curse or Swords Dance in its regular moveset was really the only way they could make Meganium remotely threatening even as a 7 Star. Upon seeing its moveset, I took my max HP/Sp.A EVs Armarouge online and it's worked great so far: Armarouge w/ Light Clay Clear Smog Reflect Will-O-Wisp...

This is a good point. However, when it comes to Alolan Rattata specifically I can definitely see a good case for its inclusion in this game. Here is Alolan Raticate's dex entry from Moon: This gourmet Pokémon is particular about the taste and freshness of its food. Restaurants where Raticate...

I just realized that in the likely scenario that Pokemon size variance is retained, we will finally see how GameFreak reconciles Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist's forms with the Scale value introduced in Legends Arceus. Like all other Pokemon, Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist in HOME have already had their Height...

I just tested the latter parts myself and Smeargle seems to be able to pass moves just fine. I had one Sketch Night Shade and a Hoothoot was able to learn it from the Smeargle via Mirror Herb method. Additionally, I had a male Smeargle knowing Wish breed with a female Raichu and the Pichu...

There is a twist with Terapagos though, which is that its tiny form has an ability that auto-Terastallizes it into the cover art form as soon as it enters battle, although it doesn't appear to use up your Tera option since that is needed to reach its final state. I suppose this means that...

It wasn't downloading manually from the home screen, but when I booted up the game and tried to connect online an error message popped up indicating that an update was required, and let me start the update from there. Maybe it just became available to me between first attempt and the ingame...

Outside of BDSP, it might be notable that this is the first time since Gen 5 that we see the legend in full before initiating battle. ORAS had us interact with Hoopa rings and USUM showed only a silhouette/shadow before the battle starts. I suppose one can bring up Dynamax Adventures and how...

Additionally, the Gimmighoul line is ineligible for personality Marks, so that is also nice. I find the 0 IVs to be good things as well since that means its Attack IV is 0 while the rest of its stats can be Hyper Trained.

As soon as I saw that the legendaries are placed in the overworld to interact with, I actually had a feeling that meant they were shiny-locked. Otherwise, when would the shiny be determined? With Snacksworth? When flying back to Paldea? It couldn’t be when you started the battle, because then...

I actually had Neutralizing Gas at first, but I could never figure out if it actually benefited my allies. On more than one occasion I saw an ally with Intimidate return from fainting on a later turn and the messages for Intimidate activating and Scrappy blocking it popped up, which shouldn’t...

For online I have found Galarian Weezing to be a useful support option. Tera: Poison Ability: Levitate Item: Wiki Berry (or nature-appropriate equivalent) EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Spe Nature: Bold Taunt Stockpile Acid Spray Sludge Bomb/Clear Smog With the 6 Speed EVs you outspeed Decidueye by...

Not sure if this is conclusive, but I moved a Rillaboom from SS with Grassy Glide into SV after this latest update and the HOME move relearner allowed me to reteach it Grassy Glide. This was after I had already reached Kitakami but before interacting with the TM Machine there and unlocking all...

Does it get a boost in any other stat in exchange? This is extremely baffling if not, since Breloom has no VGC presence. And I'll bet that it still can't learn Spore by level up...

Actually, it's always had only Steadfast as a non-hidden ability before SV. Some Steadfast Gallade moved in from previous games will acquire Sharpness in SV if they internally are Gallade with the second ability slot (which stays as Steadfast in those other games).

How, it already has three ability slots? Did they actually replace one of them? If so, hopefully it's Pickpocket as that is a pretty useless ability in general.
