Non-Story Pokémon SwSh Datamine Thread (SPOILER WARNING, It's Finally Here!)

Perrserker get's Steely Spirit as its Hidden Ability. Has anyone figured out what that does?
 
From what I understand, Milcery evolves by having it hold one of several items (which become its toppings) and having it spin around while camping.
 
Might work the same as Stamina, only instead of a Defensive Buff, its an Attack buff?
Steely Spirit - Powers up ally Pokémon’s Steel-type moves.
Nope. Kind of disappointing, I was hoping it was going to be like Justified but with Steel moves.

Here's a link to Ability descriptions -

New Abilities:
  • Ball Fetch If the Pokémon is not holding an item, it will fetch the Poké Ball from the first failed throw of the battle.
  • Cotton Down When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a move, the Speed of the attacking Pokémon is decreased by one stage.
  • Dauntless Shield Boosts the Pokémon's Defense when the Pokémon enters a battle.
  • Gorilla Tactics Boosts the Pokemon's Attack Stat, but only allows the first selected move.
  • Gulp Missile After using Surf or Dive, Cramorant will turn into its Gulping Form. If it takes damage, it will damage the attacker.
  • Hunger Switch A Morpeko with Hunger Switch will change between its Full Belly Mode and Hangry Mode every turn.
  • Ice Face The Pokémon's ice face can take a physical attack as a substitute, but the attack also changes the Pokémon's appearance. The ice will be restored when it hails.
  • Ice Scales The Pokemon is protected by Ice Scales, which halve the power of special moves.
  • Intrepid Sword Boosts the Pokémon's Attack when the Pokémon enters a battle.
  • Libero Changes the Pokémon's type depending on what move they are using. (basically Protean)
  • Mimicry Changes the Pokémon's type depending on the terrain.
  • Mirror Armor Bounces back only the stat-lowering effects that the Pokémon receives.
  • Neutralizing Gas Suppresses the effects of Abilities of all Pokémon currently in battle.
  • Pastel Veil Prevents the Pokémon with this Ability and its allies from being afflicted by poison. It also heals ally poison when sent out.
  • Propeller Tail Negates other Pokemon's abilities and draw in moves.
  • Punk Rock Boosts the power of sound-based moves. This Pokémon also takes half the damage from these kinds of moves.
  • Ripen Ripens Berries and double their effect.
  • Sand Spit Starts a sandstorm upon being hit by an attack.
  • Screen Cleaner When the Pokémon enters battle, the effects of Light Screen, Reflect, and Aurora Veil are nullified for both opposing and ally Pokémon.
  • Stalwart Ignores the effects of opposing Pokémon's Abilities and moves that draw in moves.
  • Steam Engine When a Pokémon with Steam Engine is hit by an Fire-type or Water-type move, its Speed stat is increased by three stages. Does not make you immune.
  • Wandering Spirit The Pokémon exchanges Abilities with a Pokémon that hits it with a move that makes direct contact.

If the full set of Kanto and Alola starters were in the data, why not include them in the dex to begin with? Legendaries I understand, but not starters.

Hey, guys! Datamining has officially started!

Among those, it's been revealed that some moves got the boot, mainly outclassed/redundant attacks, buy also some popular competitive moves -- like Return/Frustration, Hidden Power and Pursuit.

Here's the list compiled by Kaphotics.

No Pursuit and Hidden Power, no doubt that'll hurt the meta. What's odd is that Heal Order's been cut despite Vespiquen being in the game. Maybe Gamefreak thought 3 signature moves (Attack and Defend being the other two) was too much? :unsure:

I guess Sinistea and Polteageist have two forms? They both have two sprites in the spritesheet.



Heh.

I had kinda assumed the Pokemon with two sprites that looked the same were gender differences.

There's a bunch of Pokemon on that sheet with two similar sprites. Wobbufett, Roselia, Toxicroak etc. All Pokemon with gender differences.

Maybe Sinistea and Polteageist of different genders inhabit slightly different cups/teapots?
