I'm not sure if the odds on if you're going to wake up after 1, 2, or 3 turns is the same, but you still can only sleep for 1-3 turns and the counter does not reset when you switch.
Edit:
No
Did Tough Claws get nerfed? How does Fluffy interact with Physical Fire Type Moves?
Tough Claws is unchanged.
What about Iron Fist? Is it still strictly and vastly inferior to Tough Claws?
There is no difference between the two. The names are different for flavor purposes, probably because Golisopod realized it can use its ability "tactically."
With regard to trapping/partial trapping moves, I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess, I'd say it would still activate only because Volt Switch and U-turn can get out of being trapped. Someone please confirm or deny this, though.
Is there fairy-type Hidden Power now?
Does Marshadow's Spectral Thief ignore protect?
thx.
Does Marshadow's Spectral Thief ignore protect?
thx.
No, but it does ignore substitutes.
I wonder if other Shadow moves do now aswell, like Shadow Force?
Final post of the night.
Z-Sleep Talk calls upon a random move in the users movepool and uses the z-variant of said move. This is independent on the typing of the z-crystal and the type of the move (so you can call any move in your pool and still get results). It also applies the increased crit chance to it. (credits go to Blitzamirin )
Spectral thief steals the boosts, applies them to itself, the attacks. It does stack with previous boosts.
I worded that poorly, what I meant by it is that if you set it to target something on the foes side, the other foe won't attack the poke under spotlight. It should work like you mentioned as well.
It acts like Download + Primal Reversion.
They do, somehow made it into the fourth turn when spamming this though. King's Shield and Spiky Shield also go off of the same counter too.From the OP said:

It does normal damage.
In regards to Z-Geomancy, no. It should be the same for the rest.
Assist can call Dark Void, but it fails.From the OP said:
So is it possible to get this Machamp with no guard????
Ice types are immune to Sheer Cold, and it's less likely to hit when used by a non-Ice type.
Not that anyone uses OHKO moves, but still.
Nope, the only old moves that changed/gained flags are the ones in the first post listed next to Baneful Bunker (we still don't actually know what that flag is for), and the moves Dancer can copy, which is every move with "Dance" in its English name besides Rain Dance.
The only new moves that ignore substitutes are Sparkling Aria, Gear Up, Speed Swap, Instruct, Clanging Scales, and Spectral Thief.
We will know once the gen 7 bank is released. At worst, it will probably be an ability capsule away.
so if it chooses something like Rest or another status move it applies Z-Rest's status effect? and this will fail to pick a move if the user isn't asleep like regular sleep talk?
None whatsoever. Not even increasing Multi-Attack's power. It's disappointing.
Does corrosion Poison steel and Poison types with sludge bomb or any other damaging Poison type moves with the secondary effect of poisoning the target?
Machamp doesn't actually learn Sheer Cold, Horn Drill or Fissure*. They were likely hacked on for testing purposes.
*Except by TM in Gen 1, so it might be possible after Bank.
Corrosion only allows the user to inflict the poison status condition on Poison and Steel types. This means that moves with a chance to poison, like Sludge Bomb, should indeed have a chance to poison Poison-types. As for Steel-types, someone who can test this out should confirm or disprove this, but because they're immune to attacking Poison-type moves, I would think they're also immune to all of their effects.
See the post above, but additionally, you can inflict the Poison Status on Poison type Pokemon with the secondary effects of damaging Poison moves.
