Toxtricity is the only event one of the three.

Thanks. Toxtricity is looks good to me so hopefully the event is soon. Going to assume there is one Gigantamax for both, but wonder how the event looks when not in Gigantamax form.
And I am I reading it right that Rotom no longer gets fire, water or flying moves? Seems like all the Rotom forms got a big nerf. Seems like hydro pump, over heat and all that is gone.

those moves are technically event moves when you change forms
Apparently Zacian, Zamazenta and Eternatus can't Dynamax. Interesting.
Isn't the statement about the IVs outright wrong? Doesn't the datamine info mention the IV spread being random, or was it just for gifted g-max?
They still learn them, just not through level up. The moves are learned when Rotom changes form.
so they buffed howl for doubles, it now raises your partners atk stat as well
Late but here's one from gamexplain's IV judge video. Also I can't exactly tell but this may mean that box backgrounds are gone.

Awwwww. I loved the backgrounds. :(
EDIT: Also, if Toxtricity is an event pokemon how does that individual have one? When I heard it was an event one, I was kinda upset.
You get Toxel as a gift in game. He's no event.
It is gigantamax Toxitricity that people are saying will be an event
I'm not very far in the game yet, and I'm kinda afraid to ask since I don't see any pokemon refresh equivalent, but is affection automatic like it was in LG? And if it is automatic, is there any way to reset it? Affection had a huge negative impact on my enjoyment of LG, since it is outright impossible to create satisfying challenge rules when your pokemon will just randomly survive attacks that should have KO'd them.

awesome gaming
I'm assuming playing with your crew in Pokemon Camp would get you access to those buffs.
Ah good, I haven't encountered this Pokemon Camp yet. If that's where affection bonuses come from, I'll just avoid it. Thanks!
This may have been anwsered already but how can you raise Dynamax levels?
dynamax candy, you get them as rewards from raids
Ahhhhhhhh. Okay lol, thanks for clarifying that for me.
Pokémon sure do love their candy
Nothing easier than dropping 26 vitamins.
How easy is it to make money in this game? If each EV train costs about 500k in supplements, I can easily imagine this being a limiting factor.
I think money will be quite plentiful Galar.
I posted this in the Battle Tower thread, but it appears this incarnation of the tower does not have a banlist on pokemon and you can use the cover legends and Eternatus all the way to the highest tier.
And from the trainer data, nobody in the tower uses legendary pokemon at all (even the lesser ones like the 4 muskadeers). So Sword users feel free to steamroll with your Zacian.
Another change is that no regular trainers will Dynamax their pokemon, just the special boss at the end of certain streaks (like Red for the Battle Tree). Which I know we already went through this with mega's in Gen 6 Battle Maison but it bares mentioning.
I know "watered down" is becoming a theme of this generation but wow they've even made the Battle Tower bare-bones.
