They've actively given Girafarig/Farigiraf Ally Switch as an egg move now. It didn't have it before.
I'm shocked they gave clodsire recover. It seems very broken now.
Which is nice but i'm somewhat doubting someone will use that thing in vgc just for ally switch.
Cresselia, on other hand...
Baxcalibur gets DD! Yes!
Just noticed that Marill doesn't have Egg Moves but Azurill does. So that means they've scrapped the Incense gimmick?
Nothing then? :sadface:
Not broken with 8pp
+2 252+ Atk Metal Coat Tera Steel Tinkaton Gigaton Hammer vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 170-200 (55.9 - 65.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
HATERS BTFO
TINKATON WILL BE GOOD
Hot diggity. Enamorus gets everything I wanted for her and more.
How does this one Pokémon, an unvetted newbie, keep scoring higher and higher in my book?
I'll make a separate post for things I find interesting, but as of now I almost definitely have a new #1 Fairy.

WHAT?
Chesnaught and Zamazenta get Body Press!
And Rock Head Hisuian Arcanine has Head Smash, Flare Blitz, and Wild Charge!

Usually the big move tutors are in the second round of games (ultra sun/moon, swSh DLC, etc)
Thank you!
As I expected, Wiglett/ Toedscool are in different Egg Groups than Diglett/Tentacool. Their egg move learnsets are pretty similar though
Toadscruel gets Rapid Spin, Knock Off, Spore, Earth Power, Giga Drain, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Taunt, Leech Seed, Foul Play, Dual Screens, and Stun Spore. That's... quite a good moveset. Maybe it will find use in the lower tiers somewhere.
Scream Tail gets Boomburst which off 65 base Sp Attack hits about has hard as Hyper Voice off 112 base sp attack. So it isn't completely passive! Also Wish, Calm Mind, and probably every special attack TM there is.

I remembered someone said that "Cetitan is just slower and fat Beartic"
> 170 HP
> 113 Atk
> 73 Spe
> Slush Rush
> Defenses boosted on Snow
> Belly Drum, Superpower, Earthquake, Ice Spinner, Play Rough
the hell is that trashy bear thing near Chadtitan

It seems Flutter Mane doesn't has access to Nasty Plot, while it does have Calm Mind it might be a little more manageable, I could see it staying OU. Pawmot looks solid as well, good coverage and even Bulk Up, It might see some usage. Great Tusk looks fun as well. Baxcallibur is Solid TopTier right there, Meowscara has a very diverse movepool as well, sure it's not Sceptile levels of physical movepool, but what it has looks usable.
Edit: Another thing I noticed Spectrier now has a Draining Kiss. It has a special fairy move which HEALS IT. I guess it will remain on the shadow realm.

Lower tier mon discoveries:
Gulpin/Swalot get Swords Dance. Its a shame their attack stat sucks cause they have a good enough physical movepool.
Both Muk forms get Drain Punch. Its better than no recovery!
Not a lower tier mon traditionally but it hasn't been great in OU for a while now, but Breloom now gets Close Combat!
Masquerain gets Hurricane 0_0. 100 Base SpA and 80 Base Speed is nothing to scoff off for a potential QD sweeper. Even Specs maybe with its Water coverage?
I'll update this later with more discoveries.

It looks like ursaring, stantler etc still have evolutions programmed even if you can't access them. Does this mean they won't do a meltan and you can use eviolite on them and use stantler in lc?
Great news! The Samurott line gets Aqua Cutter as an egg move! This combined with the new Sharpness ability will finally let it have usable stabs!
