I still maintain that Stakataka's stat spread should have been 181/2/191/2/191/3 instead of the the totally unremarkable stats they actually gave it.
Wait Reshiram and Kyurem learn Noble Roar? But not Zekrom? Some of these are pretty cool, like Sticky Web Cutiefly, Meteor Mash Riolu, Close Combat Kommo-o, and even Sacred Sword Oshawott!? Wha???!!!New level/egg moves (not tutor moves), lots of good stuff:

Again, wat?
It already learns Scald, that's plenty.Pansage gets Spiky Shield, Pansear gets Flare Blitz... and Panpour gets nothing?
Wat?
Assembly is gonna be damn good in TR in VGC and doubles. 131 base attack and 13 base speed? Its gonna be a perfect TR abuser.804 - Naganadel - 804 (sticky evo)

Goodbye assembly for being absolute junk. That hellish HP isn't going to take super many attack, and speed tier is ridiculous (wow 13 that is a new low I guess). Though that physical attack is pretty impressive for a tank.
Adhesive's evo have pretty good attack stats, though by no means super impressive as that of pheromosa.
Burst has pretty good aggression stats.
Thing is what can the rock/steel coverage really do? A steel type is enough to block its way given it doesn't have other bigger moves such as earthquake (of which skarm, ferro and Celesteela will pretty hard-block it), and without TR this thing doesn't have enough special resistance to block a lot of things. The 2 4x weakness and things such as water type specials are gonna be nasty.Assembly is gonna be damn good in TR in VGC and doubles. 131 base attack and 13 base speed?

It got one hell of a defensive stat, Intimidate helps. It got enough offense, so can potentially run Z Crystals to get some quick KO's. I may not be tier 1 etc, but its definitely gonna get some usage.Thing is what can the rock/steel coverage really do?

Kinky ;)Tsareena - Punishment
Tsareena - Power Whip
does a good amount of damage compared to other forms.Lycanroc-Midday: 75/115/65/55/65/112
Lycanroc-Dusk: 75/117/65/55/65/110
They traded 2 SPEED FOR 2 ATTACK!
They removed 2 points from a stat where every single point matters and put it into a stat where it is extremely negligible. Dusk loses out on a nice speed tier and is forced to creep 110's now.
Now I don't know if tough claws can compensate for that, but this looks like a straight up nerf to me.

Ahh, it all falls into place now. This picture from ages ago:A novelty badge that you can receive at the Kantonian Gym. Rumor has it that it imitates the Badge of a Gym somewhere.
Literally no Gen VII moves? What a disappointment.Here are the Tutor Moves: https://pastebin.com/Uxme1NkC
