Rumors & Leaks - Speculation/Discussion Thread

I wonder what abilities they will be given to give them viability. Most likely Cursed Body or Pressure for Zoroark.
The PLA Pokémon were actually given abilities a while back(I think when HOME compatibility was added, but the info might have been datamined as early as from PLA, I don't remember). These abilities can be seen on Serebii's PLA Pokédex.
There were a few adjustments now in SV, like Hisuian Samurott now having Sharpness instead of Shell Armor as its HA, but they mostly stay the same.

Man, I can't find any gameplay of Violet, just Scarlet lmao.
I think the Rom for only Scarlet leaked so far. Hence emulators for only Scarlet.

Doesn't Hisuian Arcanine have Rock Head now as it's hidden ability?

On another note, one current mystery about the game is if there is still a way to transfer egg moves. If there is, nobody's worked it out, but some think it could be linked to how male only pokemon now have egg moves and whatever the method is to get them.

Will sword and shield be able to transfer pokemon into S&V from the start, or will it be 2023 like with PLA? (I have some pokemon, shinies my uncle gave me (how does he have those) and legendaries I want to fill my pokedex once I complete the game (I don’t wanna transfer legendaries at the start and win every battle I accept) )

Speaking of Hisuian abilities, I can't wait until we can get Rock Head Arcanine. With Wild Charge, Head Smash, and Flare Blitz he'll be a fun Pokemon to use. Sharpness on Samurott will also be great since it'll make it better offensively, especially with Ceaseless Edge.

I'm surprised they simply went with it. Yesterday I've looked at the moveset and...

Head Smash. Flare Blitz. Wild Charge. Double-Edge.

Even with 4x weakness to water and ground, this thing is going to be crazy. Specially with the current type changing gimmick

This thing will murder once PokeBank is viable. lol

Tendemaus and Maushold have mouths,.

Also their signature move, Population Bomb, is bugged to always hit the opponent the maximum amount, being 10 times.

I honestly think that as much as they represent rodent packs, the concept of family growing and the like. I'm thinking they are a more literal depiction of the Spanish tooth fairy, which much like France's, is a mouse. But for SV, they literally are a group of mice that look like teeth.
