Yeah, I must have forgotten to include that in my post here...

yes. Z-moves can be used regardless of the base move's (last resort for example) circumstances.
edit greninja'd
But i will say that the way i stated it is in general of all other moves
Confirmed that a taunted Pokemon does attempt to copy Dragon Dance, Quiver Dance, etc but fails due to taunt (similar to what happens if a faster 'mon taunts a slower 'mon about to use a status move).
No, they don't. Looks like only direct damage is negated by it.

Does Queenly Majesty / Dazzling block priority moves aimed at your partner in a double battle?
Disguise does not block status moves (can't confirm if it blocks getting status'd from the secondary effect a of direct attack like Nuzzle).
If a direct attacks hits a Disguised Pokemon's Substitute, the attack functions normally (dealing damage to the Sub) and Disguise isn't used up.

Asking because I've yet to find a definitive answer anywhere: Does Reciever work at all in Singles if you switch Passimian in after something else faints? Or is it a Doubles only ability?
no triple battles same goes for rotation.
Have any moves been added to be compatible with Mega Launcher? i.e. Focus Blast, Moonblast, Energy Ball, Shadow Ball, bomb moves, Flash Cannon, Hydro Cannon, etc.
Also, is there any confirmation on the boost of Water Shuriken with Ash-Greninja? I've been hearing that it's doubled, but haven't seen any visual proof.

Wait...so Galvanize actually gives 30%?
Because if so then you are most likely right since galvanize and -ate abilities all share the "power boosted a little" segment in their ability descriptions.
Doesn't work when switching in after KO.
I think the Water Shuriken thing was proven in the demo even.
Someone in another thread was speculating so I have to ask does Liquid Voice makes all sound moves including opponents water type or only Primarinas.
Is the one mega evolution activation per battle rule independent from the one z-move activation per battle rule?
Does Misty Terrain block mental status conditions? (Infatuation, Taunt, Torment, Disable, Encore, Cursed Body)
Also, Bulbapedia mentions Misty Terrain now blocks confusion. Can we have confirmation on this?

Weakness Policy doesn't trigger when the damage is negated by Disguise.
Also, a Pokemon's Disguise is used up (or 'busted', as the game calls it) when it hurts itself in confusion (and of course the damage is also negated).
Misty Terrain blocks Confusion.
Does Liquid Voice turn every Pokemon's sound based moves into water type? or is it only the users moves?
--"All sound-based moves become Water-type moves."
so far text is very different from Normalize and -ate abilities
--"All the Pokémon’s moves become Normal type. The power of those moves is boosted a little."
--"Normal-type moves become ______-type moves. The power of those moves is boosted a little."
This could explain why liquid voice does not get a a power boost. Also it alleviates the redundancy in Primarina's Sparkling Aria and Liquid Voice Hyper Voice.
To test, simply check if Liquid Voice Primarina resists a sound attack

They protect all Pokemon on the Dazzling side from Priority attacks. I am not sure about a priority attack which targets both opponents or all Pokemon on the field.
Hi guys, might seem like an obvious one but want to make sure.
''Stoked Sparksurfer
After obtaining Z-Power, the user, Alolan Raichu,attacks the target with full force. This move leaves the target with paralysis.''
If the opponent protects, I assume it breaks protect and deals 25% damage. Does it also paralyse the target?

Does Hyper Voice bypass disguise
