Anything to have us believe we'll be able to get zen mode Darmanitan normally like you could in B+W?

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
SPOILERS! Pokemon Sword & Shield Pre-Release SPOILERS - Check Post 2!

Floette isnt even in, what the hell is up with this move? Why are they not giving up on this pokemon already? Someone in gamefreak must rlly like it
Its description is intact, so anything you transfer from Home with Softboiled keeps it. It's just not learned by anything in Sword/Shield.
What? Even mew?
Nothing learns it but its still present in the games code
Presumely to allow the transfer of softboiled clefable and mew once pokemon home launches
Missed opportunity to make it a tutor move again...
Battle Spot singles is also one of the most popular formats in Japan. They'd for sure focus on balancing that as well
I think its ability with kings shield is inherently uncompetitive and, thus, banned from ou it will be imo.
Yes but that isn't the same thing as VGC. My point being Gamefreak is not necessarily focusing all of its balancing efforts on VGC so we shouldn't be surprised when we get singles balance changes.
GameFreak why is it that a fucking penguin who can't even make a fist, an armless salamander and a ball of gas can learn Ice Punch but not the ice dragon? smh
There are probably very few people who would ever care about this buuuut
UNFEZANT FINALLY HAS BRAVE BIRD
UNFEZANT FINALLY HAS BRAVE BIRD
The move still shows, it has no effect, and the description says to unlearn it asap.
Well you can just read all the G-max moves description, they actually specify it :P
Huh. So this is more of a retcon that will quite possibly be carried over into future games?
That has a lot of implications and issues for Smogon as well then, especially a full dex.
Cursola's hidden ability:
Perish Body When hit by a move that makes direct contact, the Pokémon and the attacker will faint after three turns unless they switch out of battle.
It has crap defenses but this is a pretty cool ability! Way better than Weak Armor. She can at least put certain sweepers on a timer, though Gengar and ghostly lizard boy will probably just f her up.

Full Dex smogon will never be realistic without inventing rules either ways. (which is why it was stated it'll be a OM and not the official one)
Purely because there's no way to know how Dinamax would interact with Z- and Megas.
Rotom learns electric terrain which could make a good duo with hawlucha (electric terrain then volt switch into the lucha).
And the only pokemons that can make good use of the new Mystical Fire TM are: clefable (which already has flamethrower), Gardevoir, Sylveon, Alcremie, Hatterene and Hindeedee (which has psychic surge has an hidden ability btw).
A lot of them can break the ToxaFerro combo with this new TM and the fact that most of them are psychic type.

Hawlucka just got two 120 BP accurate stabs, at this point he might probably just go LO/Band with Mold Breaker and remind us that talonflame was not the bravest of birbs
I understand it's a psychotic amount of work but is anyone compiling a full list of new moves learnt by old mons? People keep shouting out new stuff constantly and I was wondering if it's been compiled anywhere.
