Palossand: Buried beneath the castle are masses of dried-up bones from those whose vitality it has drained. One word, creeepy.



The fact that its BST and non-localised name could mean that it's a mythical event mon.
Yeah, i was thinking of using sandygast; it has a good moveset, but it's overall description creeps me out. I poured over the movesets of all the pokemon; no new egg moves for the old pokes, so i don't have to worry about breeding them. In general, i found some were useable, some i hoped were useable are kind of meh, and i'm actually interested in some of the ultra beasts. It would be nice to get the tapus at lower levels though.

Do we know if any other Pokemon besides Gigalith, Vanilluxe, Torkoal, Gengar, and Pelipper got ability changes?

We have seven trials (we know Kommo-o is a totem), but the Dragon trial captain is MIA. Lurantis mentioned that Lillie leads you through the fourth island to Solgaleo/Lunala's altar, so maybe she fills in as the trial captain or something.
If you search through this, its confirmed that you can battle each Trial Captain. It doesn't seem as though that there is a Dragon type Trial Captain. Six appear, the last one being Mina, who uses Fairy types it seems. Mimikyu is confirmed as a Totem, so this means we have a Ghost type Trial Captain, though I believe this is Acerola who is an Elite Four member.

apparently these older Pokemon lines from the Alola dex are sun exclusives (don't show in Moon wild Pokemon data):

Garchomp
Goodra
Braviary
Whimsicott
Vanilluxe
and
Castform
Porygon

But I can imagine that these last two are special Pokemon and not catchable in the wild.

Zygarde(Complete): This is Zygarde’s 100% form. It has enough power to overwhelm even Xerneas or Yveltal. Yeah, right!!!

While I am overall happy, I am displeased with how little some old pokemon got this gen in terms of new moves.

Rapidash got that new 100% accurate Steel move Smart Strike, but with only 70 power it is still better off with Drill Run if it wants to damage Rock types.

Tauros still has no STAB move to abuse with Sheer Force (here's hoping it gets Rock Climb back if DP is remade). Wish I could have gotten a dream world one when they were available.

Zebstrika gets NOTHING to help its horrendous physical movepool.

Do we know yet if the fossil pokemon available in the game are caught in the wild?

I believe Ryuki is the 7th trial captain specializing in dragon type, although I'm not sure why he's listed as trainer rather the Captain. Mimikyu is the totem from the Fairy type trial

I spotted Ryuki with a Kommo-o, though if they are a Trial Captain, its odd that Ryuki is not listed as a Captain. Mimikyu as the Fairy type Totem Pokemon would make sense, as you do fight it in an abandoned toy store, so that could be the Totem Pokemon for Mina's trial. Acerola is confusing me though, because she appears to have the Trial Captain pendant in her hair.
