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.

Thanks for the update, didn't know about those ones

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.

Starting to wonder if players can breed those that can be transferred in february to gain the stage 1 versions after the camp breeding is unlocked?

What they didn't say didn't include if the can import the small versions of Froakie and the others through HOME and or always have to breed to gain them. I'm talking for subsequent playthroughs.
We don't have many options for training full evolutions without doing things like new safe files if you need a separate copy of the final hisuian starters.

I don't know if it's been mentioned anywhere, but has anyone confirmed whether or not wild Pokemon scale in level with you (I would assume based on badges earned)? I heard the gym leaders themselves do not, but not specifically about wild Pokemon. Basically, I want to know if I can head out of the starting town and make a beeline straight to the Pokemon I want to get, or do I have to wait until I progress far enough into the story to have a chance of capturing them without fainting.
