Wasn’t Grookey shown to have Knock Off?
People were discussing the hypothetical situation where its final evolution is Grass/Normal and would struggle against Ghost Types especially the Litwick & Gastly lines. It’d have a way to hit them super effectively with Knock OffYes it was according to Serebii. What about it?
That was the point I was trying to make earlier. Unless it gets Scrappy or a similar HA that does the same thing, Grookey could end up being picked the least out of the three Starters.People were discussing the hypothetical situation where its final evolution is Grass/Normal and would struggle against Ghost Types especially the Litwick & Gastly lines.

The more I think about it, the more I think there's a chance GameFreak will pull a G/S/C on us and make all of the starters' final evolutions monotype. The Affleck leak mentioned Scorbunny ending up pure Fire (maybe he was only referring to Raboot but the wording didn't seem that way, then again the whole leak was awkwardly worded in many places), and I struggle to think of a valid secondary typing for Grookey's evolution, unless there are design elements that weren't mentioned in the leak. Normal typing makes some degree of sense, but it doesn't officially represent sound. There are several sound-based moves that are not Normal-type (Bug Buzz, Clanging Scales, Parting Shot, Snarl, Grasswhistle, etc). I think if they really want to emphasize the sound-based elements of Grookey 3's design, they'll probably do so through a hidden ability that affects sound-based moves, similar to Primarina. That leaves its typing a very open-ended question. Finally we have Sobble, who I think is the least likely to be a monotype Pokemon of the three, but given that all we know is that Intelleon will have a spy theme, I don't think we can safely rule out monotyping at all. I'm leaning towards something like Water/Ghost or Water/Poison being more likely, but I don't think it's safe to say that we won't just end up with another Gen 2 where all 3 starters end up being monotype.
Actually your misunderstanding what was be said when it that Scorbunny was pure fire but had fighting type moves. It didn't mean that Scorbunny's final evolution would be a pure fire type with fighting type moves, and the line actually wasn't referring to either of Scorbunny's evolutions. When it said Scorbunny is pure fire but has fighting type moves, what it meant was Scorbunny itself is pure fire but has fighting type moves which is true as Scorbunny is a pure fire type and it can learn fighting type moves as we saw it use Double Kick.
Basically the Affleck leak never actually mentioned the typings of the middle stage or final evolutions of the Galar starters. So basically the part that your referring to is not referring to Raboot or Scorbunny's final evolution, it is instead referring to Scorbunny itself.
Then it doesn't make any sense to include at all, as we already knew Scorbunny's typing since it was revealed.
A new rumor, another calling Grookey Grass/Normal and 75 new Pokémon.
And this is not a rumor, but it says games could leak soon since downloadable copies are coming out soon.
I couldn’t find a place for the second one since I knew it wouldn’t be good in General.
If by easier they mean the AI doesn’t blatantly cheat anymore, then I’m all for it.Easier post-game battle facility?! Big yikes. I hope not.

Agreed.For that, I'd be asking for better AI as opposed to easier.. IVs, EVs, actual sets on the Pokemon, team synergy and using Dynamax.
The battle facilities have to resort to cheating because the pre-programmed teams have hardly any thought or reason to them, so of course they're not going to be able to compete against an actual player without cheating. Just need a bit more effort put into the feature.
In the video the change stated in the rumour was that it would simply take less wins to reach the boss stage, I believe, which doesn't fix anything for those wanting to go for streaks.
Why would Grookey’s evolution be Grass/Normal? I guess it would get more STAB, but other than that, what would the logic be? Also (if true) would this be the first time a Pokémon gained Normal-type upon evolution?
