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.

It seems they have completely removed the out of battle effects of abilities, likely to get rid of any inconsistency in their descriptions. I guess they moved it all to sandwich powers.
To follow on this, my friend reported that if you catch a pokemon that knows a egg move from a raid, and forget the move, it won't be on the relearner table.
Though I guess while a bit obnoxious, this system makes re-obtaining the egg move fairly simple nontheless.
I guess that's just as well, overworld encounters probably made stuff like those weirder to use.
Like I'm not sure those abilities even worked in the Wild Areas or Underground
Hope Flame Body/Steam Engine maintain their effects, I bred a 5IV Coalossal just for that purpose.
A lot of people are talking about breeding for IVs but now that Bottle Caps and Mints are purchasable for just $20k and Bottle Caps can be used starting at level 50, what's the point of breeding for IVs? For specific balls in the rare case I guess but other than that, why?
0IV 'mons probably
Speaking of overworld encounters, has anyone got this weird thing where a pokemon would show in the minimap but nowhere to be seen on the actual game area?
I thought they would be in underground or something like that but I've seen this happen even near towns...
Am I missing something?

They probably do but like, eggs hatch in less than a minute each of walking.
It seems they don’t, though we’d need proper testing and a look at the internals to really know. A good sandwich will help though!
That's how it worked in Sword and Shield too. But still useful for transfer mons if moves including egg moves do get deleted.
Saving money because I'm a hoarder.
I imagine they left that in for people who still prefer to have perfect IVs built into their Pokemon. They seem to be trying to make competitive Pokemon more accessible overall, to make breeding more of a choice rather than a requirement.
The only thing left is for them to introduce a Rusty Bottlecap or something for the 0IV.
Save you some money grinding. Being able to just buy them is great but if you need a bunch of them they add up. So if you can just save a couple grand here & there, no reason not to
Wow, that's great news about egg moves! I'm really hyped about the new breeding mechanics, seems to be made easier than before.
I'm also interested in this information, and the experience group (Erratic, Slow, Medium Slow, etc) of the new Pokémon. It would be of great help to update both my team planner and EXP candy calculator :)

Or like Khu mentioned (probably won't be able to find the old tweet) a "pkhex" item which they hinted about in the DLC.
gamefreak getting The Itch for more weird grinds: Level 100 lets you use the turbo rare/expensive PLATINUM BOTTLE CAP to just tweak everything all at once
I imagine the pkhex-like mechanic is just going to be like, a gym. Like a human gym. And you can set what the IVs will be there.
If you pick a bunch from the box and disable animations they will all hatch at the same time?
From the position of a Super Ultra High Level
Of course, that's not to gatekeep mon collecting in any way. Everyone is free to build their mons whichever way they choose, and their various aspects are all equally valid. It's the amount of heart you put into them that matters the most. If you're happy with what you've got, then be proud :P.
"disable cutscenes " is a joke.
Like in Let's Go and and SwSh it only disables a handful of story cutscenes.
We've had cutscenes off for the entire play and eggs definitely still play (as expected). So no, have to still hatch them 1 by 1
Which mechanic?
To add to this, if you have perfect mons, any time you need to breed them for new moves or cause you want to shiny hunt or what not, the process is much faster if you don't have to keep going back to buy caps and mints.
The lack of such qol is probably an oversight. It would be great to hatch 5 eggs at the same time.
You can no longer disable animations.
Why do you need to breed for new moves if you can just smoke some herb and do it in a minute?
