Banned deucer.
Serperior probably will get Scale Shot at least, a number of other reptiles and snakes in particulars do.
and Grassy Glide too

Typhlosion with scorching sand, Muk with tear shot, Frostmoth with Powder

Feraligatr and scale shot anybody??? Jaw lock???

I have discovered a truly remarkable CT which this box is t-
is a Smogon Media Contributor Alumnusis a Battle Simulator Moderator Alumnus
A day late, but with the leak of the new Hidden Ability item, we have more additions to movepools of old Pokemon! Previously illegal combinations of moves and hidden abilities are now legal, expanding the options of Pokemon who really needed it, like Clefable.

Shoutouts to the other Matt and those who discovered it!
Thanks to readytolose for compiling a list! It's linked in the OP as well: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...datamine-thread.3656143/page-115#post-8543091

To see these new options (and a cursed thumbnail) in video form, click here:

So I have an actual curiosity on this and that is... does doing this on a pokemon with unreleased HA (like gen 8 fossils) flag them as illegal in VGC/battle spot?

It shouldn't, because the NPC only wipes out your moves, not change abilities, and by that time. The Hidden Abilities of every single available Pokémon will be legal, thus usable in Battle Stadium and VGC

I don't mean once Tundra releases, I mean right now :psynervous:
Since the item is tecnically available but isn't meant to be, and there are a handful of unreleased HAs (like gen 8 fossils) that would become available with it.

My guess is that the game would flag them as illegal and not allow them to be usable in BSS / VGC, just as BW/ B2W2 did with Pokemon with unreleased HAs.

On the other hand, however, given the huge amount of people running around in raids with obviously hacked shiny legendaries and people using Libero Cinderace in BSS months before its official release and GF botching their own shiny Zeraora distribution (it was fixed in less than a day, but it was still pretty glaring since it was an official distribution that triggered their own hack check), I have my doubts :blobshrug:.

You know I'm pretty sure Volcarona is the only Fire type that didn't get Scorching Sands.... WHY!? balance is the only excuse but would Volcarona really be that op with ground coverage?
From an OU perspective (which gamefreak ignores, obviously), it would hit Toxapex, Heatran, and Tyranitar for SE damage in one moveslot. Only the pink blobs would be safe switch-ins. I'll edit this later with comments on which mons benefit most from the new moves.

Isn't Bug Buzz already not enough for Tyranitar ?
 
Grassy Glide requires the user to be grounded for its effect, right? What's the point of giving it to Celesteela then? (Shaymin is at least grounded in its land forme)
There's no real reason. It's just that Celesteela is a non-Grass type plant lifeform, so it gets the plant tutor move.
 
But doesn’t get the usual terrain boost if you’re levitating
140 BP with no terrain boost is better than 90 BP with no terrain boost in the same way that 140 BP with a terrain boost is better than 90 BP with a terrain boost. If you have Electric Terrain set up anyway, Rising Voltage hits harder than Thunderbolt whether the user is grounded or not.
(Still weird that non-grounded Pokémon are getting Expanding Force and Grassy Glide, though - they actually do require the user to be grounded to get the added effect at all.)
