Phantump, Trevenant gets Branch Poke, Sucker Punch, Disable, Magical Leaf, Hex, Endure

a lot of things get High Horsepower from TR, including stuff like Gurdurr, Conkeldurr, Dugtrio and Dugtrio-Alola, Rhyperior line, Diggersby line, Mamoswine line, Tyranitar, Quagsire, Hippowdon line, Excadrill line, Snorlax; which is honestly more game-changing for Doubles than Singles

Doesn't know how to attack
These moves used to be from purifying Shadow Pokemon from XD.

Kanto Vulpix and Ninetales learn Charm
Both Rapidash learn Baton Pass (Ponyta still doesn't)
Rhyhorn, Rhydon, and Rhyperior learn Helping Hand
Kanto Farfetch'd learnd Helping Hand (Galar Farfetched doesn't)
Togepi, Togetic, and Togekiss learn Tri Attack and Helping Hand
Natu and Xatu learn Baton Pass
Sableye learnd Helping Hand
Solrock and Lunatone learn Baton Pass
Duskull, Dusclops, and Dusknoir learn Helping Hand

(You still need XD for Charm Growlithe, Charm Dugtrio, Charm Swinub, and anything that learns Non TM/TR moves.)

Solrock and Lunatone also now learn Morning Sun and Moonlight respectively, which were event moves.

I think Rapid Spin's increase is chance-based and not guaranteed. See the discussion in these few posts: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...rs-check-post-2.3655568/page-135#post-8279091
Rapid Spin shows up in the move data with 100% chance of stat1 change (Speed +1). If the opponent really was Eldegoss, Shield Dust is not a possible explanation for voiding the stat boost, but Frosmoth and Ribombee can also have that ability which would produce the observed effect.

Unsurprisingly, videos are starting to be made using this thread as a resource. That's awesome - the whole purpose of this thread was to be a resource - but I want to clarify that the list in the second post is not necessarily complete. It's probably clear by now, but essentially most of what we're doing is going through the Pastebins and manually checking each Pokemon for differences, which is quite a task that nobody is expecting anyone to undertake on their own. I'm not sure that every Pokemon has been checked yet, so all in all, your contributions are appreciated and let's see if we can finish out this list!

Klinlang learns Electric Terrain and Power Gem (kling and klang also learn power gem).
Beheyeem learns Destiny Bond (Elgyem too)
Stunfish Electric Terrain
 
Just thought of something- I don't suppose they've changed Quick Powder so it could actually work after transforming? That'd be pretty big if they did that.
The Battle Tower list has four Ditto sets, which obviously can't change much about them but do use different items: Lum Berry, Bright Powder, Expert Belt, and Choice Scarf. If Quick Powder got a change to work after transforming, you'd think they would have plugged that in instead of the Scarf set.
 
Bisharp losing Knock-Off may just completely kill its viability; having to rely on Sucker Punch and Pursuit is a bad deal and it didn't even learn something like Darkest Lariat or Throat Chop to make up for it :(.

I'll be interested to see if Hawlucha wants Close Combat over High Jump Kick - trading 10 power for 10% accuracy and no chance of dying if your opponent switches in a ghost feels good, but Hawlucha already has problems getting worn down.
 
Ninjask also gains Flail
Pyukumuku gains Mirror Coat, Screech
Golisopod gains Mud Shot, Hyper Beam, Screech, Swift, Dive, Assurance, Endure, Muddy Water, Rollout
Passimian gains Counter, Mega Punch, Mega Kick, Revenge, Assurance, Retaliate, Endure
Oranguru gains Yawn, Last Resort, Hyper Beam, Mega Punch, Mega Kick, Attract, Imprison, Endure
Froslass gains Charm, Imprison, Icicle Spear
Gastrodon gains Water Gun, Weather Ball, Sand Tomb, Mud Shot
Reuniclus gains Stored Power, Psychic Terrain, Hammer Arm, Mega Punch, Power Swap, Guard Swap, Endure
 
I can't see Roost in TMs, neither in TRs, so assuming all Pokémons that learned it through tutor/TM now can't learn it anymore.

So listing the Pokémon who should have lost access to Roost:
Charizard, Butterfree, Mew, Togetic, Ninjask, Vibrava, Flygon, Vespiquen, Togekiss, Rufflet, Braviary, Hydreigon, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem (all forms), Rowlet, Dartrix, Decidueye, Vikavolt, Cutiefly, Ribombee, Drampa.

All other Pokémon previously learning Roost keep it via level-up or egg move.

Note that as of now, you can still transfer a Bisharp from previous generations with Knock Off into Sword and Shield. Bisharp's viability is assumed to be not compromised.

However you can still transfer them up with roost
