That just seems absolutely incredibly broken doesn't it? Two quakes in one turn? Two dazzling gleams? Two surfs? Yikes

When you think of it as running two of X pokemon, X being the pokemon you hit with Instruct then yeah it's pretty good. Depends a bit on whether Oranguru has good speed but you could slap a Choice Scarf on him, plus it's very much a one trick pony that gets shut down by Wide Guard.

Let's run down the now confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt leak:

The Leak posted:

The anime’s Ash-Greninja will appear in Pokemon Sun and Moon
Alolan Rattata and Raticate are Dark-type
Alolan Butterfree is Bug/Psychic
Alolan Abra, Kadabra and Alakazam are Fighting-type
Alolan Nidoking and Nidoqueen are Poison/Fighting-type
Alolan Growlithe and Arcanine are Water-type
Alolan Doduo and Dodrio are Fighting/Flying-type
The previous versions of Pokemon which have taken on new forms will only be accessible by bringing in from older games
Furfrou gets new styles
A new cat Pokemon varies in type and appearance based on breeding
There is a new snowman Pokemon line with two stages and it is Ice/Ghost
Not to get hopes up, but there may be two final evolutions for each starter
There will be no traditional Gyms and no Pokémon League in Alola. Your goal is to actually create one. After you do, an Elite Four will appear which are the leaders of each island
The diamond stones will be collectible throughout the region and act similarly to Mega Stones but not exactly
New Pokemon based on a dolphin, sea cucumber, snowman, mushroom and a rugby monkey are there
Rockruff’s evolution is a Werewolf

Ok so we've still got a Snowman line and Dolphin to see. And a new cat. And more Alolan forms.

Good poo poo, S&M

They clearly wanted to incorporate Hawaiian dancing into gameplay somehow.

I hope that they use the 3DS camera option so that you have to recreate the move, with it's effectiveness varying on how well you recreate it

I dunno. A sunlight-based ability like Leaf Guard makes sense, seeing as it's never going to see use on anything but a sun team cause of Solar Blade. Depending on its stats, it might be better suited to being shielded from statuses rather than going fast with Chlorophyll or something.

That ridiculous Eevee animation where she gets powered up by all the Eeveelutions like she's about to unleash an insane powerful multi-eevee attack only to have the camera go back to the boring battle screen and go "eevee's attack rose sharply!" was pretty funny.

Since they're doing Hawaii for Gen 7, you know what they really, REALLY should do for Gen 8? Australia. They haven't done many Australian animals at all.

Plus they could go with the whole Steve Irwin: Crocodile Hunter angle. I miss that guy. RIP :(

there aren't gyms, though

they've been replaced by "island trials" with totem pokemon bosses at the end.

this is already confirmed

Dress up is in the game because it's the same engine as X and Y. Next gen, when they return to 2D sprites, there won't be customization.

We know traditional gyms are out though? Like thats official. Island Guardians replace them which is fighting pokemon of a type that gets a stat boost and the ability to summon other pokemon to battle you multiple on one.

We know Gumshoos/Faticate are the normal guardians in Sun/Moon. Alola-Marowack is the fire guardian, new preying Mantis is the grass Guardian, and Wishiwashi is the water guardian. I think there's supposed to be all 18 types represented as well.

Yeah it is, and most of the claimed Alolan typings have already been debunked too (Arcanine showing up in the SuMo site in normal form, Alola Raticate being Dark/Normal etc.)

So I guess there's no more need for out of battle antidotes and status restoring items, that's a really great idea to incentivize people to use Refresh

Antidotes and such are so cheap they are basically free, especially later on when you're swimming in money so I'm not gonna waste time on tedious makework like Refresh when I can just heal my mons instantly with items.
