So I took some notes, here are my thoughts:
-Galar Darmanitan is amazing! It essentially has a Choice Band for an ability (which means it will hit HARD with a choice band), and they FINALLY fixed Zen Mode! Zen Mode Galar Darmanitan gets 160 attack and 135 speed, and becomes Ice/Fire!! Holy cow!! I'm in love!
-Scorbunny gets essentially Protean, and has great coverage moves. It will be scary. Maybe that is why Inteleon has one point extra in speed.
-I am in love with Stonjourner. It has cool stats (though yikes for that Special defense. Even in sandstorm it is frail specially), and good moves, but I don't understand its ability.
-You guys, GUYS! Eiscue is amazing! It has Belly Drum, plus its ability, and its second form has 130 in speed! If you go against a physical attacker, it can safely set up Belly Drum, then sweep for days! It also has great coverage moves, including Liquidation and Icicle Crash! It also gets Agility.
-Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Steelix, Milotic, Noivern, Salazzle, Drampa, Necrozma, Hydreigon, and Eternatus learn Dragon Dance. This is HUGE! Especially for Zekrom, Kyurem, Necrozma, and Hydreigon. Garchomp lovers must be crying he got cut this gen.
-I am very sad they didn't touch Kyurem or Klinklang's movepools that much. They needed help. Kyurem got Icicle Spear for whatever that is worth, but no physical ice.
-They gave the fossils moves that double in power if they attack first... and then gave them horribly low speed. lol
-DRIFBLIM GETS STRENGTH SAP! I have been begging for Drifblim to get a recovery move for forever. SO HAPPY!
-Pincurchin doesn't have the best stats, but it has an AMAZING movepool! Electric Surge for an ability, plus acupressure, recover, a ton of water moves like liquidation, hydro pump, and scald, hex, and more!
-Close Combat also got a lot of distribution: Escavalier, Haxorus, Golurk, Incineroar, Golisopod, Solgaleo, to name a few older mons.
-Primarina finally got Calm mind!
More to come from my notes.
