Is Alolan Muk supposed to look like refraction off oil? Either way I'm glad cause Muk is cool and Poison/Dark is a good typing.

New Muk is cool and he's joining my team of cool dudes.

Now I just need to figure out how to pet him without dying.

Yes, GameXplain confirmed this in the Q&A vid. Apparently you get it pretty early on too, but they couldn't remember when you get it in gen 6 so they couldn't compare. But yeah within the first 1-2 hours.

Oh, thank Christ. I already want to use waaaaaay too many Pokemon. Silvally just earned a spot on the team and so did Tsareena.

drat it, November, get here faster!

Alolan Muk doesn't actually smell bad since all the toxins are concentrated in its body and crystals. In contrast, Kanto Muk is constantly seeping toxic fluids.

I don't know. The descriptions of Queenly Majesty and Dazzling are a bit different...

Bruxish can have the new Ability Dazzling, which no other Pokémon has ever had. The Dazzling Ability prevents opponents from using priority moves that normally strike first.

Some Tsareena have the Queenly Majesty Ability, which no other Pokémon has previously had. The effects of Queenly Majesty are so intimidating that it prevents opponents from using priority moves.

Since GF loves to play word games with their descriptions, they could be different abilities—Tsareena's priority killer may be a field affect, which could affect ANY priority move while it's in the field, and Bruxish's priority killer affects Bruxish itself and only prevents priority attack moves.

Her Lycanroc is also lvl 27 :/ she is the second Kahuna tho, and we see Guzma with mid-30s during an event on the third island, so it's possible the level progression will be decent and the third Kahuna will have 4 or 5 pokemon. I'm just really hoping because some trailers have lvl 50 wild pokemon, so maybe things will get wild later on.

Good. Having random trainers have six Pokemon was pretty boring, they were all low level shits. And since you faced loads of trainers every route, making them have less, but stronger Pokemon, was better.

Also, you face Gladion with a Silvarry at level 53, so unless it's a postgame fight that's an indication of when the Skull plotline might come to a head.
