I’m really disappointed by this base speed. Even something like 80 would have been more acceptable. :/
The HA is nice, though.

Saw someone point out in another forum that King's Shield apparently only lowers attack 1 stage instead of 2 now
A lot of these seem bad for singles and questionable for doubles/VGC. What’s the point of Max Snooze if you can’t use any set-up moves. Same for all the trapping ones. The only ones that would seem to have utility are ones that set something up (rocks, veil) or cause status.
Indeed, it's in the data.
Gengar can set up by trapping a mon and using the Max Poison attack.
But yeah, I see what you mean.
honestly just confirms to me that in most cases normal dynamaxing is superior anyways and that it's rarely worth bring a pokemon on your team just because it can gmax
Yep.
Gen 7 Description: The user takes a defensive stance while it protects itself from damage. It also harshly lowers the Attack stat of any attacker who makes direct contact.
Gen 8: The user takes a defensive stance while it protects itself from damage. It also lowers the Attack stat of any attacker that makes direct contact.
It's now -1. Someone hates Aegislash.
Besides Aegislash, did any old Pokemon get any changes?
In fairness as someone who loves Aegislash, it's still probably going to be super strong lol
So, Aegislash will be OU?
where is this data on Move effects?
Will it take damage from the sand?
- use it on the last turn of dynamax
- you're not being damaged or being set up on yourself lol
- trapping = free switch
We'll see, I guess. It still has damn good stats and it's stance dance is pretty good ... time will show how the meta can handle it.
No, it won't. ^^
Unobtainable final boss - it has to be strong
Umm...both pokemon being hit with yawn status is a big deal. It forces then to switch, try and set up misty terrain, or suffer sleep. Meanwhile your partner pokemon has free reign to do whatever, and grimmsnarl can just use max snooze on whatever switches in.
Waiting on Move stats. But Rapid Spin is now 50 Power and Multi-Attack is now 120 Power.
Scroll up to King's Shield. It doesn't say it'll harshly lower attack. It just ... lowers, like, for one.
Okay, so WHAT ON EARTH is that Perish Body ability on Cursola?
If you're 2vs1 and you get Cursola hit, you literally win the game.
It's also quite... interesting, that some Megas and Z-Moves are recovered in the form of G-MAX Moves and signature moves.
Depending on how much HP Clangorous Soul takes away, maybe Kommo-o can abuse it for a pinch berry.
"Remember Ultra Necrozma?
We did as well."

I'm gonna be PISSED if Kyurem still doesn't get any physical ice move. Freeze SHock and Ice Burn do not seem to have been changed, though Dynamax inherently makes them more worth running.
Basically, the same thing - we never could get a Necrozma with all stats +2 xD
The Arcto- forms join Beartic and Alolan Sandslash as Slush Rush options that are just still too slow.
