DHR is slowly compiling such list in the other dedicated post.
Otherwise, can just wait for release day as Serebii is likely to compile one (They probably already have but won't publish it until it's live)

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.

About Galar Darmanitan Zen Mode, it might be the first time a pokemon is happy to lose health on the Stealth Rock.
It can also lower its own HP with Flare Blitz because yes the ice Darmanitan learns it.
And who knows, pehraps Zen Mode got changed due to the power of this new Darmanitan, we will have to wait and see.

Litteraly just Max-Thunder Punch
50% at base, 100% with maxed dynamax level
They didn't remove moves which are simply not learned by anything. So yeah, I assume any move removed in this way is gone permanently.
It has great special bulk and bad physical bulk. Not quite the same as bad defenses.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.
Doesn't look like those will be available until Pokemon Home is available.
Gigamax moves are a version of Dinamax moves unique to Gigamaxing.
So for example in order to have Gengar's gigamax move (which is ghost type) Gengar needs to know at least one offensive ghost type attack.
Rotom doesn't get to benefit from terrain--you're not powering up the Volt Switch or anything here.
GUYS WE'VE MISSED THE WORST DETAIL
COURT CHANGE
Swaps sides for all field effects. Opponent gets your SR, you get their screens.
And who is this exclusive to
Fucking cinderace again
What is even going on

Have sprites, models, or images of the new pokemon and forms been compiled anywhere?
Edit: Sprites for everything are below (Gigantamax forms are at the bottom of the image).

It changes the type based on terrain, so Electric with elec terrain, Psychic with psyc terrain, and so on.
and you're not just basing this off the description, we know this for sure? It's not just camouflage in ability form?
does it turn it into psychic/steel etc, or pure psychic etc?
We dont know yet but assuming it works similarly to camoflage, yes
I really doubt that, and I really don't want to believe that. What would be the point of giving a pokemon a good new type combination only to make it be literally unable to use said type combination?
then again, these are the same people that are deleting moves now, too. Without return, what are physical normal-types supposed to use for their STAB? Mega punch, which is a TM again for some reason? That's nice. Hidden power is gone, so I basically wasted my time breeding for certain types of HP? Why is game freak so dumb.
Wouldn't it make more sense for G-Stunfisk and Cinderace to swap abilities?
You are saying this like it would be the first case :P
As far as actual competitive scenario goes, you wasted your time to begin with, because Pokemon bred in previous gens have *never* been legal in VGC, and you could actually appreciate not needing to ever do that anymore from now on.
what are you talking about
wow, participating in VGC is the only way to battle other people? I didn't know that, thanks for informing me.
Sneasel pre gen-4, Heracross pre gen-4 (it's moveset is ass) Gengar pre Gen-4... list goes on
Nintendo, TPCi, and Game Freak are not responsible for anything related to Smogon, and thus, the only form of competitive we can say they care about is VGC. If it doesn't affect VGC in any way, it's a non-issue.
Talking of GameFreaks making new pokemon with insanely good mechanics on paper, only to be on pokemon who are so terrible they can't use them.
Basically see half of Alolan pokedex. Komala who's too terrible to benefit from status immunity, Sandygast who can't even think of using its ability without dieing, Golisopod which basically has an ability that's detrimental to himself, I can keep going for a while...
Pretty much this.
that's...not remotely the same thing....
galarian stunfisk might have a type combination that literally might never be able to take effect in any capacity unless it gets hit by like gastro acid or something, and even that might not work, who knows.
I can't believe you people even think these situations are comparable
