Does Smogon, and by extension Pokemon Showdown, have a plan of action when Sword & Shield come out regarding the lack of a National Dex? Will Showdown allow all 800+ Pokemon from the National Dex in Gen 8 Singles even if they aren't in Gen 8? Furthermore, will Smogon run analyses for them in that case?

There's going to be some sort of Nat Dex metagames available, but no idea how analyses will turn out, as those are prob not going to be the mainline formats like SM OU, UU etc are.

Many popular UMs like ZU, AG, and LGPE OU have analyses in the OM C&C, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect those for National OU.
 
acupressure does not fall under evasion clause because of general randomness and a heave requirement on being bulky enough to set it up without being fodder for anti setup things like unaware, whirlwind, taunt, etc. note that even tho moody is the same thing, moody is an ability, and thus makes it basically impossible to stop without things like ability changers

Why Zeraora's UU analysis mentions Kommo-o if it was banned?
It wasn't banned from UU, it rose to OU by usage. Zeraora's UU analysis was written when Kommo-o was still UU which is why it's mentioned, but the lines mentioning it should be removed from the analysis now that it's OU.

Logging in with Google is (still, after several months since I last checked) broken. Maybe it's because the site is sending a Client ID of 0?

The best place I know is the Pet Mods subforum, but you should definitely read several of their already-existing mods' thread before posting anything.

By flags, I assume you don't mean move.flags, which is a list of flags for moves that exist in the ingame files. The details for those are defined at the top of data/moves.js if you do mean that. Other move properties aren't really documented well. You can find them in data/moves.js usually and if your looking for where their effects are calculated, try looking in data/scripts.js and sim/*.ts. A github repo search will also help you.
 
Can we actually get the male model for Cacturne? It has literally been years since XY came out and we don't have the form of Cacturne that matches the art for gen 6 or 7.

Sprites are uploaded to Smogon, and by extension PS, when someone makes them, as Smogon relies on contributors to supply them with them, as opposed to having a dedicated team to do so.
