That's crazy. As someone who lives in a coastal town with lots of pelicans I'm hyped!
It's up to the leakers if they'll test it, they might have things they consider more important than testing edge cases like that.
The fact us that those aren't tedious at all, now bulky archetypes can't follow anything to stop a DD user other than use a scarfer if higher speed bracket in singles.
They aren't improvements at all.
They're in this pastebin:- https://projectpokemon.org/research/sunmoon/gametext.txt
To find where they are input Ctrl + F and type in Text File : 97
I'm liking some of the expanded descriptions. For example, why Hyper Cutter was distributed only to Pokemon with anything resembling pincers.
This also confirms the -ates still increase damage.
I agree with the disappointment on a technical level, but from a more pragmatical standpoint I'm glad they don't fill the game with move exceptions whose relevance is dubious aside from being clunky off-color coverage moves. They were always more problem that they were worth.
They took a step at the right direction by boosting the Base Power of Flying Press whose novelty was even less appealing with it's lowly power. Instead of building up numbers on a rather unneeded mechanic start by making those move matter and make them worthy of our time. Was Hawlucha really in need of hitting Pangoro and Shiftry with 4x with an STAB move? Personally, I think the loss of supereffective damage over Steel pokemon is a bigger deal, but I digress...
Freeze-Dry in the other hand was a more focused and less clunky attempt to fix effectively boost Ice types by giving them an economic tool to save space in their movesets. It's not easy being Ice, so I think there just a handful of types that actually deserve this kind of narrowly distributed tool.
Edit: I'd be in for Freeze-Dry punch if you know what I'm saying :p

Lol
Lol
I've got to say, I like how a lot of Abilities have more in-depth descriptions now that they aren't restrained to a tiny rectangle on the status screen.
So according to TheMantyke , this was found in the datamine.
So this means we can buy bottle caps, better become a regular at the Festival Plaza! Also, he couldn't find anything on the bottle cap item itself, so no news about the idea of bottle caps being able to lower stats for Trick Room or not.
You use colored (red, blue, yellow or green) shards to buy them:
And there doesn't seem to be a cap for TR/HP/special attackers. Breeding will be the way to go in such cases.

Sadly it doesn't list the Pokemon names.
Now the question is... will the shards be easy to collect? :/
Hm, that seems a short list of pokemon. Let me just list them out and arbitrarily assign them some gen 6 banlists and...exclude the mythical pokemon, i guess
VAR PKNAME(0000)]　 = mewtwo
[VAR PKNAME(0001)] 　 = Lugia
[VAR PKNAME(0002)]　 = ho-oh
[VAR PKNAME(0003)] 　 = kyogre
[VAR PKNAME(0004)]　 = groudon
[VAR PKNAME(0005)] 　 = rayquaza
[VAR PKNAME(0006)]　 = dialga
[VAR PKNAME(0007)] 　 = palkia
[VAR PKNAME(0008)]　 = giratina
[VAR PKNAME(0009)] 　 = reshiram
[VAR PKNAME(000A)]　 = zekrom
[VAR PKNAME(000B)] 　 = kyurem
[VAR PKNAME(000C)]　 = xerneas
[VAR PKNAME(000D)] 　 =yveltal
[VAR PKNAME(000E)]　 = zgyarde
[VAR PKNAME(000F) = ????
I think I'm missing something here...
those are mythical pokemon so that'd be weird to add them but none of the other mythicals
I'm gussing mythicals just aren't listed? and if that's the case then it's possible ultra beasts aren't listed either which, well, its slight story spoilers but there's no real way to talk about the balist without it soooo
solgaleo & Lunala are considered ultra beasts too, apparently. so if there's a flat ultra beast ban, they'd get rolled into it without needing a specific listing at the tree?
also it occurs to me that Ash Greninja might be the final ban list. It's banned from VGC, after all
Doubt they'll ever allow event legendaries, plus I think Jirachi learns follow me in gen 5 through an event so it is not likely to be the potent monster it is in smogon doubles.
Considering VGC2017 is Alolan Regional Dex only, and Mega Stones are not allowed, I think you may have some trouble with that.
I mean, it would make sense why they nerfed Dark Void now.
They didn't bother before because you could only use it with Darkrai and Smeargle.
By making it a Darkrai exclusive, there would be no reason to nerf this move, since Smeargle can't use it anymore, and Darkrai is not allowed in any competitive format... unless...
I meant VGC 2018, my bad :p
I know I'm deviating from the topic, but no one said a thing about Shiinotic, how do you guys think it will fare in the S&M Meta? It does have that gimmicky recover HP equal to targets attack stat. Also has Moonlight, for the special attackers. Has spore and a pretty decent typing. But its stats just suck..
Grass Poison doesn't sound good tho (It is Grass Fairy, rigth? I'm not sure)
