If anyone is still teambuilding, here is a list of all VGC legal pre-bank egg moves I made a while ago. I just chose 1 parent within the same egg group that passes the move for the sake of convienence. For field any combination is possible since Smeargle exists. Rowlet (Flying)...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't swift swim changed to slush rush this gen?

No unfortunately. As a matter of fact, the only way to pass Iron Tail as an egg move (Field group) is to sketch Guzzlord's Iron tail since nothing else learns it via level up.

Question about Minior: Does breeding a specific color only produce that color, or are the core colors randomized? Is there a factor in what color is determined?

Oh, forgot about Salazzle. She's on the post bank list for fake out/knock off early this year since we have no Scraggy. ...I actually should post my legal pre-bank egg moves list in one of the resource threads.

Pre-bank, only legal Knock Off users now is Machamp, Alakazam A-Muk, Hariyama, and Sableye. Archeops, Carracosta, Mandibuzz, Salazzle, Pelipper, and Ledian also added to list once bank releases (assuming Alola dex only can only participate). Even without Knock Off Mandibuzz can do decently well...

I'm sorry for posting this here (can't find anything in the datamine thread unless I've been looking in the wrong places) but has any data been found on catch rates?

Psychic Terrain doesn't allow grounded types to use priority, but it protects grounded types from priority. That being said magnet rise users should be vulnerable to priority as they aren't grounded anymore for the duration.

As gimmicky as it sounds, Spotlight sounds great for forcing a swagger onto a physical teammate, provided you can find an optimal one against what Tapu Fini pairs with if swagger becomes popular.

Wow i'm dumb. I forgot the autotomize heavy weight drop thing. Just forget it over leech seed I guess for more longevity.

It seems like its a great bulky support mon with a myriad of coverage options (no recovery) even though Xurkitree easily stops it. I can see it being one of the better UBs to pick for Doubles though since its more balanced stat wise, works in a lot of teams and is less frail. Mixed attacking...

I thought it was based on the Diving Bell Spider

Doubles is much more fast paced and less switch heavy compared to singles since only 4 pokemon are allowed in battle. Tactics like Toxic stall, entry hazards, and setup moves to an extent are rarely used since you can double target the threat before it keeps going, and sashes aren't as common...
