Triple Axel and Triple Kick have the exact same move description, so it may very well just have been copypasted in localization.

SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword and Shield Datamine Thread

I haven't been able to go through the entire thread to see if this was mentioned, but this leak was entirely correct (except for Magearna, which is understandable because it is just a Home transferrable Pokémon now)! I understood the argument that it could have been just a very good guess based on the updated Home movesets, but I think guessing all of the rest correctly is enough to call this an actual leak.
This should give us a good idea of what is returning in the Crown Tundra (other than maybe a few more transferrable Mythicals). That means Hoenn Starters and a whole bunch of fossils are returning, along with the Ultra Beasts (which was pretty obvious based on the title of one of the datamined CT "episodes").
Good catch, I was thinking about this as I ran into some of hte POkemon today but didn't go back &check
I also don't know if this has been answered since then, but the way to get Max Mushrooms after the story trial is to—at least this is how it's explained in game by the NPC that makes the Max Soup for you—do Max Raid battles in forests and caves, which will "spread Dynamax particles that will grow the mushrooms." I don't know how long it takes for the mushrooms to grow after the raid battle.
So I think this is the Pokemon for Crown Tundra, then

I don't think I missed anyone. Actually I think normal Slowking is in the files now...? Might just be a blank listing though, I'm not sure.
e: Yes Slowking is #3 in the Armor dex, so i removed him from the listing
That's what GF is pushing for with that DLC. Crown Tundra will have caves where you can mine for fossils. The whole theme is spelunking LOL
I think lumping the fossils in is kind of unfair since they'll probably be available normally for the first time ever; iirc we've seen Aurorus wandering around the tundra in the brief footage we've seen?
The real thing they're pushing with the Tundra is legendary pokemon. Like it's literally the entire conceit of Peony's expedition: uncovering the secrets of the legendary pokemon and all the "titles" are pertaining to legends (the birds, the titans, the alola light folks (+ UBs), the musketeers). Plus the other big selling point of the legendary dens.
Pinsir in Sword and Heracross in Shield. Only ones me and my brother have come across so far.
Fascinating, evidence is definitely rather convincing now, especially with the datamined story event titles suggesting some ultra beast connection. I am very curious how the list was obtained; I guess most likely case is that TPCi isn't a very good judge of who's likely to break their NDA and post stuff on 4chan.
I suppose it's still within the realm of possibility that the CT list isn't fully finalized like the HOME moveset datamine turned out to not be. Still a bit perplexing that the CT list includes mythicals, though, given that magearna wasn't included. Even if we're willing to write off magearna as not being present because it's "foreign dex", it's strange that there would be mythicals in the actual CT dex and not just foreign dex entrees as well. Even more so if there are some mythicals that come back in CT but are still foreign dex. Very confusing. <shrug shoulders emoji>
Possible Magearna was just an oversight on the leaker's part or maybe a later addition ("hey should we make the pokemon we gave out for a full living dex available in the game" *snaps fingers* "OH RIGHT THAT THING")
Does anyone know the locations of all the in-game trade girls (and am I asking the right place)? I found a bunch of them at the beginning, when I didn't even have a Marowak or Sandslash, but now that I have them, I can't find most of the girls anymore. I think two or three were in the forest, but that thing is a maze and a half.
Speaking of generic npc girls though, I thought I understood waifus before, but I was wrong. Let alone male or female, there is not a single character in all of pokemon that I appreciate more than the bike customization lady in the Fields of Honor near the dojo. The change from unlovable to lovable for the bike outfit was that drastic. I feel like she deserves a unique model for what she does.

Ok Alolan Raichu is absolutely insane
+2 252+ SpA Life Orb Raichu-Alola Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey in Electric Terrain: 433-511 (61.5 - 72.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+2 252+ SpA Life Orb Raichu-Alola Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Ferrothorn in Electric Terrain: 299-352 (84.9 - 100%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

all calcs done with 140 BP Tbolt for Rising Voltage
Its also pretty easy to get to +2 bc of memento pinchurchin.

1.5x boost, which stacks with the initial 1.3x boost
it appears to be 2x on showdown, is this a bug? i ohko'd a togekiss when the damage calculator says this wouldn't have been possible with a 1.5x boost
It's in the game. I would guess they realised that it would super annoy people if they got the Original Magearna and then couldn't use it, considering how hard that thing is to get.
This also confirms something else that we could infer from the items datamine: Hoopa, Genesect and Arceus are not coming back. Which I guess isn't surprising given that the latter two are a big source of item bloat, but Arceus is quite popular.
Given that we've seen event flags involving Keldeo, I would guess that it'll be available in these games in the same way that Deoxys was.
*looks at Silvally*
Must be a glitch because those are all Kommo-o's moves.
