Is there more than 1 battle facility? I've heard there are two and you can rent teams there?

Dragon/Fire and Fire/Dragon is the same typing. There is no difference between them so it is still correct saying Turtonator is the only non-legendary, non-mega dragon/fire typing.
And what he says is still correct as well (though if I had to choose which was more correct I think the / would indicate that the order matters)

Couldn't they always do that since X and Y? I knew it was implemented into those games, but never really paid attention to how the balls were passed down.

No only females can pass down the ball in XY. Genderless pokemon come out in a standard pokeball.

Someone please confirm whether males and genderless can pass down the ball in SUMO.

Ball inheritance is similar to how Hidden Ability inheritance worked previously, the hatched pokemon has the same ball as the mother, unless a male or genderless Pokemon is bred with Ditto, which means they inherit the ball of the non Ditto parent

With how lackluster the new Pokémon look for competitive play, it makes me really glad I don't play competitively.
I think there's a good chance a few of them will be metaworthy, especially in some tiers for Smogon. Another thing to consider is that this will shake up a good bit of VGC with the new nerfs and new mons, like A-Ninetales getting Aurora Veil.

I played locally competitively during XY's early days, but soon found it wasn't for me. Though that team is still competitive ready whenever I can bring it up with bank.

In singles yes. But in doubles some may get uses, and this is the format GF is pushing forward (also not true for minior, minior is awesome).

Also woohoo for EV being not a chore, I don't care about ally chaining since it seems too random but doubling the power item efficiency makes like Ev training only 2,5 slower than hordes.

Perhaps, but some have hidden surprises. Araquanid is shaping up to be a potentially amazing support pokemon thanks to Water Bubble and Entrainment. Even in singles (and all stats on the target being equal) a Choice Band Liquidation from it hits harder than a Choice Specs Hydro Pump from a Keldeo. https://archive.nyafuu.org/vp/thread/29883617/#q29886923

It feels like this gen went away from stats and typing to abilities with all their terrains and causing priority moves to fail.

Psychic Terrain/Queenly Majesty is probably why I'd run Leech Life on Golisopod rather than First Impression. These are mons that I want my bug type attack to actually work reliably. For situations where I need priority, there's still Sucker Punch (is Aqua Jet a better option in any ways?).

Asked this a couple pages ago but no answer, so...

Do we have the clothing items for males?
