Does this still auto-crit with priority aswell? An Electric type Extreme Speed which autocrits and always buffs evasion is absolutely absurd.

It's still has +2 priority but lost its critical hit bonus.

Sorry for bumping a week old post, (well, I'm not that sorry when this glitch is fun to mess with :P) but what happens if you evolve a Nincadia Egg? Do you get Shedinja and what Level is it if you get one? I'd test it myself, but I really need to go to sleep.
Also, a minor amusing thing is if you pull of the glitch with a TM/HM the Egg can't learn, it says that the TM and Egg are incompatible. That somehow feels like even more of an understatement than when you try teaching a Metapod Fire Blast...
EDIT: Vitamins and Dynamax Candies work and the effects stay after hatching, but I'm not able to level it up with Rare/Exp Candies...
I remember getting a really quick game update before I heard about this glitch that Serebii didn't mention, so I assumed it was just the Switch thinking there was an update then not actually doing anything when it realized there was no update, but maybe an update fixed part of the glitch? :/ It could also be because of using a different language or something weird like that. (I play on English if anyone wants to test languages.)
EDIT 2: Maybe I just didn't know how to make Pokemon evolve with this glitch... I'll try that today.

So I had assembled a group of five Linoone for Pickup shenanigans.
I went to a Pokémon Center and as I happened to be there, I healed my Pokémon to restore PP from the Pokémon that was battling while the Linoone were collecting items.
What I noticed is that while Linoone's idle battle animation depicts it in all fours, the Pokémon Center healing animation has it standing on its back feet. I thought they were using the same animations there...

I think that the pokemon center uses the pokemonamie idle animations for some (all?) pokemon. It's more noticable on flying Pokemon. They'r all grounded, which they only do in amie/camp.
Do the tooltips even show it changing type?
OK so the animations thing earlier reminded me: has anyone seen pokemon sleep in pokemon camp?
Amie kind of went overboard. I dont know if ti was EVERY pokemon but I think it was way more than you'd expect: a ton of pokemon had unique, fairly elaborate, sleeping and waking up animations. I'm curious if they just cut those entirely moving forward.
Wouldn't be surprised if assorted other animations got cut too just because Camp doesn't have teh same level of interaction. Like al ot of pokemon had certain "batting" motions but every time i use toys it just plays the attack animation.

So what if I tell you this glitch allows us to evolve male Combee and Salandit?
Considering their evolution methods are pretty much made to screw you up, this is one bug I'm happy with.

My cousin has a Shiny Male Salandit, so he should be glad about this when he can transfer it to Gen 8. I'm feeling a bit dumb though, I was trying to evolve eggs by feeding them candies by pressing Down and A at the same time. (That wastes Exp/Rare candies, but it can make the egg use Dynamx Candies, Vitamins, and TMs/TRs. I haven't tested EV Berries.) This is way easier and it works!
I tried this now that I know how to do it and I got a Shedinja Egg NAMED Shedinja.

There was testing by, I think, dragonfree that seemed to point that there's a catch rate penalty in place if you are lower level than the pokemon you are trying to capture, with this penalty lifted after beating the game. They used special balls and the catch rates seemed to line up otherwise, though.
But beyond that I don't think anything has been determined. If I ever start the game over, though, I am incredibly tempted to just buy 100 great balls and start chucking balls to see what's going on, because it's been very unusual to see so many people (even those outside of enthusiast forums) notice issues with catching things that shouldn't cause trouble at all and the great ball in particular has been a point of contention .
...For standard captures, anyway. For raids, we have some hard numbers
Standard pokemon, Solo or as Host: 100%
Standard pokemon, Assist: Species catch rate (not flat %, the actual catch rate)
Gigantamax pokemon, Solo: 100%
Gigantamax pokemon, Host: Catch rate 20
Gigantamax pokemon, Assist: Catch rate 3 (NOT A TYPO)
Standard event pokemon (ie: if you run into a normal snorlax right now), Solo, Host or Assist: Species catch rate
Gigantamax event pokemon (ie: if you run into a g-max drednaw right now), Solo or as Host: Catch rate 20
Gigantamax event pokemon, Assist: Catch Rate 3
The happiness number only goes up to 160 in this generation and thus makes the highest base power Return can reach 64. Though there is a natdex mechanics thread so next time i would ask there.
I'm interested in source for this change, not in natdex interactions.
there are no new happiness interactions. outside of national dex metagames, happiness is absolutely useless besides evolving pokemon
They want to know who found it and where.
Huh, I wonder if that's why they axed Return and Frustration...
I thought Happiness goes up to 255, you just need Camp to get pass 160 https://serebii.net/swordshield/happiness.shtml
Wait, happiness bonuses (increased stats with happiness) is still a thing from Let's Go? Or are you talking about affection bonuses which have always required the Amie-equivalent?
Affection does not exist anymore - whatever Affection gave is now given by Friendship instead.
