Fairy is neutral on Zamazenta. Though Body Press makes 252 Def viable on Zamazenta, so it can probably still wall.
This thing is utterly ridiculous. Defenses only marginally worse than fucking Giratina, 148 speed and it hits harder than fucking Life Orb Mega Rayquaza with probably-better type coverage and no recoil. And it's probably immune to Knock Off too. Unless there's something incredibly exculpatory in its movepool, Zacian is without a singular doubt going to be banned from ubers.
Anyone know what Ice Scales does?
Frostmoth has a new ability called Ice Scale though, which we don't know what it does.
Also, fossils get Slush/Sand rush as HA.
They going all out with weather and Defiant everywhere
Confirmed not obtainable by the player.

Appletun is the first Grass-type Pokemon to resist Fire moves!
Bulky Water-types troubling your Sand team? Don't worry, fam. Dracozolt's gotchu.
Toxtricity has technician as HA..
Love the pic
But personally annoyed at the fact that we have
1 Drizzle (Pelipper)
2 Drought (Torkoal & Kanto Ninetales)
3 Snow warning (A-ninetales, Vanilluxe, Obamasnow)
3 Sand Stream (Tyranitar, Hippowdon, Gigalith)
Gimme at least ONE sun setter that is not trash please :\
Dark Void fails when rolled by Metronome as of gen 7, unless they reverted that nerf.
I'm going to be incredibly annoyed if it still hasn't been removed from the Metronome call list. I got screwed by that when I used Metronome in my Moon playthrough on the Snorlax and rolled Dark Void first time.
Eiscue’s Noice form has higher speed for lower defenses. No better attacking stats though lol
I can definitely see Thick Fat being the most consistent of Appletun's abilities. Turns the double Ice-weakness into just regular, Fire-resistance, and it already has great recovery options (Leech Seed, Recover) where Berries aren't needed.
I wouldn't count Torkoal out. It's pretty decent in the current USUM meta as a sun setter thanks to great bulk, Stealth Rock, and Rapin Spin (which boosts Speed now in SwSh, not like it'll matter much for Torkoal's slow bum, but it could make a difference for taking on slower mons like Clef, for example)
Well, it looks like Galarian Darmanitan is just Ice Type, but Zen Mode Galarian Darmanitan is Ice Fire and it does have a cool increase on attack and speed... btw... does someone know wtf is Gorilla Tactics (new ability)?
Oopsie... more than ninja'd
