What are you thoughts on Dragapult and Hatterene base stats?
I think Dragapult is way too fast, if it doesn't swords dance I don't see how it's better than Hydreigon.
Hatterene looks really solid, as long as it learns Trick Room (remember tapu lele?) it's one of the best standalone mons we've got so far this gen imo

It's a Gen 7 item that protects the holder from contact-based attacks/abilities/items, like Rough Skin, Flame Body, Aftermath, King's Shield, Rocky Helmet, etc.
Edit: I just realized you were being sarcastic.
Even if it is a wall it still will be using physical attacks
Isn't it Ground/Ghost? By far its strongest physical move will be Earthquake, which doesn't make contact.
Trick room: *gets set up*
Cooperajah to half of your team: "you are already dead"
Seriously though, that thing looks terrifying with the lower overall power level

The signature move is almost certainly Crowned form exclusive, so it'll probably work like Necrozma and try to teach the move when you equip the item.
Won't be at all surprised if they follow in the footsteps of gen 7 and have all three signature moves have the same effect of double damage to Dynamaxed targets.

It looks like Frosmoth is the Ice-type Pokémon we've all been asking for. Okay, it isn't in a three-stage family, but it appears to have both decent Speed, decent Sp.Atk, decent Ice-type moves (Ice Beam and Blizzard are great moves, they've just lacked good users forever), and most importantly, a non-ass coverage movepool. With Dazzling Gleam and Bug Buzz it already has coverage moves of two different types (bar Normal) with a base power of 80 or more, which is practically unheard of for Ice-types with a SpA over 100. It also has boosting moves. This can actually turn out quite good.
Also, another "screw you very very much" to Game Freak and their localization team for not allowing the games to be played in Metric. Like Gen 7 Talonflame said, it infuriates me that Grimmsnarl is 4'11'', because I have no concept of what that means. There's only one country out there that has not passed a Metrication act, and it's Liberia. Why can't they see that those meaningless apostrophes make no sense to almost the entire world?

Y'know, i have been so caught up in what pokemon are and aren't going to be in the Galar meta, i hadn't really considered that the NatDex meta will still be greatly affected by the removal of megas and z-moves and addition of dynamax.
It will also be interesting to see where pokemon in the galar dex end up with an advantage over those who aren't, because they get access to new moves while the outsiders don't.

I expected it to get Boomburst because of the drum and the name, but some kind of Grass-type variant. It wouldn't surprise me if its Hidden Ability will be a Grass-type Aerilate.
Hold on, let me grab my calc (as idk what that number means either).
Hmm, it says... 5.9944 metre.
Me one day ago: My Zacian will destroy Eternatus lol.
Eternatus today: Not so fast. FLAMEEEETHROOOWEEEEER.
At least, I only have to tank 15 Flamethrowers xP

That's weird. It's showing up just fine on my computer. And I'm constantly refreshing the page as well to make sure.
Aint working on my end either.
also: Dynamax Candy huh. Looks like I was wrong and all dynamax levels do is increase the percentage of HP increase when you transform. I wonder if it’s possible to get a Gigamax via Candy then.
