Wimpod's evo has a move called First Impression. It's a 90 bp bug move that you can only use in the first turn that he's in battle, which seems bad, but it has +2 priority :eyepop:

So they are doubling down on the stuff they put forth in Delta Episode then, cool.

Dancing birds can change between the forms with use of certain items. I assumed they stayed the specific form you catch them in, so that's cool.

Edit: It doesn't seem that that Unova E4 member cameo is related to whatever is up with Looker.

Probably he's on the (story) full Bug team that Guzma gets, this would also explain that weird Ariados boost, since we know he has one of those

I like the story aspect that Guzma has a full Bug team because he tried to become a Trial Leader/Gym Leader but failed.

A move that cripples the usage of certain pokemon and enforces team building strategies is slightly more than a dumb meme.

There's text from an NPC saying there's laws against using Fly to travel and hands you the TM, saying they're nicknamed HMs in other regions since they're hard to find.

Heatmor got a unique signature move

Fire Lash
The user strikes the target with a burning lash. This also lowers the target’s Defense stat.


:psyduck:

There's a new steel Faint Attack variant with 80 BP and decent distro

Togedemaru got a decent Electric STAB. Exclusive

Zing Zap
Electric/Phys/80/100
A strong electric blast crashes down on the target, giving it an electric shock. This may also make the target flinch.


So many new moves are exclusive or close to it, its nuts.

Apparently the final "Ultra Beast", Necrozma, isn't actually an Ultra Beast, it's just a really powerful Pokemon.

Also, both Celesteela and Kartana are both UB04, so another version exclusive.

Some context for Guzma's "Y'all are stupid!" Endgame spoilers:

Guzma posted:

"I'm the Team Skull boss, and I've never been scared of nothing or nobody. Heck, I live my life making people scared of ME! So listen to what big bad Guzma has to say..."

"Y'all are stupid! How in the world did you even get to this place? I've got no idea how you did it, but here you are."

"It's all dark here...I've got no clue what's going on, but there's beasts everywhere... I tried to catch one of those things...but it possessed me! And that's when it happened! My body, my mind... They started running wild and I couldn't do anything about it! It was like I became somebody else, and I finally felt what fear feels like! It was terrifying!"

"I may be the Team Skull boss, and I've never been scared of nothing or nobody, but... that lady...she's on another level! She's way far gone! She's lost her mind over these Ultra Beasts! There's no talking to her, no reasoning with her... She's just gone..."

"That doesn't change anything. I still have to go!"
