I can't check right now but if I recall correctly, drizzle is the second ability, not the hidden one.
So this is the same case as magic guard soft-boiled Clefable, aka: you can catch a second ability Wingull in DPP and teach it defog. Transfer it to SuMo and evolve it there, it will have both drizzle and defog
Edit: or just use an ability capsule actually, I forgot about that item
Do we have details on all the abilities that had their effect changed? Like Gale Wings? Same with moves.
Oh yeah, forgot how sparsely distributed defog is outside 4th gen. Well that kinda takes away alot of the appeal of Pelipper.
It's Ability Slot 2, so you can get Defog Drizzle Pelipper... but you need luck.
Oops I didn't state properly.
I mean they said that they enter the forms when using those moves and also appear in those forms at some other time.
Same like how they described the Tapu's.
And they got a Z move
People complain about them nerfing stall and a bunch of the other incredibly irritating, tedious bullshit in the game like T-wave being nothing short of a soft KO for fast attackers and confusion being a coin flip... I don't get it. All of that looks like straight improvements to me.
Oh r
Oh really? I thought it was replacing it's current hidden ability.
What, are you sure it still works that way? I mean, I know it did for Gen 3 -> Gen 4, but everytime I've sent a Feebas or a Jigglypuff up to Gen 6 with their PA's, they've never gained Competitive.
Now that I read it, it may be impossible. At least, that's what Bulbapedia implies.
EDIT: Thank Revelation for reminding that Ability Capsule makes ability transfer a non-issue.

You can use Ability Capsule, I believe.
Is there any evidence to gen 6 horde battles returning? I know wild pokemon can call for help multiple times, but are there still battles where we just start out with the full horde of the same pokemon? I'd absolutely hate to see this feature disappear since it'd be a huge step back for EV training.
Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm just as disappointed as you, though. I want a mighty, versatile Pelistorm. After years of HM slavery, it deserves some time in the spotlight.
Allow me to complain about something completely different: Freeze-Dry and Flying Press.
When these moves were first seen three years ago, we were dumbstruck. A dual-type move had never been seen before. And Freeze-Dry makes an exception to the conventions of the type chart. This was something new and different! But... wait, there's only one dual-type move, and one typechart-exception move? Oh well, perhaps they'll make more in ORAS.Or in Z. Or, at the very least, in Gen VII.
But here we are, and the two different, unique "concept moves" remain at the concept stage. To my knowledge, there are no new moves with dual typing, and no new moves hitting for off-type-chart damage. Those were very interesting concepts, each with many great opportunities, but for some strange reason Game Freak chose not to progress with either of them.
Oh well. It's not the first time they've done so. I still lament the loss of dynamic music after Gen V.

Thank goodness we were reminded that, since it's not a Hidden Ability, we can change Keen Eye to Drizzle through the Ability Capsule... provided it was not removed, of course. I always liked Pelipper, and seeing it becoming good is a nice thing.
By the way, is there any dump about items?
Here you go, a full New Item list: https://paste.ee/r/zFXRA
Warning: Some Story Spoilers may lurk within.
Where are the descriptions for old abilities?
So there are Terrain duration increasing items and another held item that has the same effect as Long Reach.
Not really sure if either will be common.
Those are hidden abilities, it works for regular non-hidden
Edit: my bad, I guess I'm learning everyday

No, they're not. Feebas's HA is Adaptability, and Jigglypuff's is Friend Guard.
Terrain Extender will. The Protective Pads on the other hand...eh, yeah, probably not.
The Seeds have some VGC potential, though.
but is Drizzle not going to be Pelipper's hidden ability?
