Sounds likely. Possible egg move with the fighting octupus being a thing though. I assume the octo is in one of the water egg groups. (if there's even more then one now)

Still confused how it will be the metagames with only 400s mons around. It's a shame and hard to believe a game like this will not have Dragonite, Abra, Squirtle and Bulbasaur lines and so much more like Talonflame and stuff. Galar could rly fix the SM mistake of not having national dex and they decided to not even give an upgraded pokedex of at least 600s.
Did you finish Sword and Shield? Yes.
What did it cost? 478 pokémon...

It was shown on the summary page that it learns Phantom Force.
We know it gets Phantom Force, it was in the Screenshot that showed it having Clear Body as the Ability.
Relax, i just did the calcs because i was curious.
If your opponent is +1 behind a sub, it has already gone too far. And if they are a Sub set that doesn't have the sub up? Who cares, Pursuit breaks them, and you spec'ed to tank a hit, and having them set to +2 is equivalent to that hit too.
It is not a good counter per se, but it is setting up an undeniably favorable position against an already set up sweeper.
As for Obstagoon's stats, i thought Durant stats was not so unbelievable as to just drop the calcs.

Wouldn't the multi-hit aspect of Dragon Darts be a problem for the penguin?
I forgot about that. But according to the leaks, the penguin has around 100 base defense, so I think it can survive one hit of Dragon Darts. Will it signature move be worth it doubles? Or should you stick to Dragon Claw?
Only if the penguin is already weakened. The ice head still absorbs half the attack.
Probably depends on Eiscue's stats and if hail is up or not.
Weavile, Bisharp, and Grimmsnarl will probably be the most reliable answers to Dragapult along with burn or paralysis. Smart switching between fairy and normal types might do well in walling its best moves but I'm not sure how reliable or sustainable that is. I think no matter what, Dragapult is going to be one of those pokemon that has good checks and counters but every team needs to plan for it in some way.

Is there a list of all tutor moves?
At worst it’s like a Dragon EQ that doesn’t hit your side of the field. At best there’s Stuff we don’t know about how it works, but that seems unlikely. Still, there are marginal situations where it’s better than Claw and fewer situations where you would probably prefer claw (unless even with the Spread Move Damage debuff you still do more damage to a single target than Claw) so I don’t see why not.
I mean it's bulk isn't great by any means, hard switching it in is barely an option, and if one boost doesn't kill what's in front of it, it probably dies.
No, I think the leaker stated he used a technical record to get dragon dance on something.
Probably a Mint for each nature
Add Mamoswine, Clefable and Togekiss to that list.
EDIT: Avalugg is probably the hardest answer though.
It's like Bottle Cap training: The Natures themselves don't change, just the affected Stats, so the Pokemon being bred will have the original natures.
Type: Null is a gift mon in the Battle Tower in the postgame, I believe for getting some winning streak in the tower? Stats and possible changes unknown.
Not on a Dragon Dance set but if the meta validates it maybe a mixed LO set could be okay.
I feel like unless you need it’s speed tier, a special set is outclassed by the like of Kommo-o and Goodra, especially by the former for mixed sets.
Potentially it can run a mixed Life Orb set if that's the case.
But who will rly stomp the meta is Excadrill
Excadrill and bisharp are looking really promising and it fills me with joy.
With the help of multiple contributors, Ditto has created this spreadsheet that lists all known Galarian (fully evolved) Pokémon, their stats and abilities. I've also added new moves and abilities in their own tabs.
I will be adding this to the OP. It's close to complete with the current information we have, but please let me know if there's anything missing.
