So Alola Sandslash's Slush Rush ability makes it speed up while in Hail.

It's a blue quilled creature with the ability to move at high speeds.

Hm.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Clearly a reference to Mario.

Elegant style
Girlish style

Interesting! Some days I feel elegant, other days I feel smug, and still other days I feel particularly left handed. A style for every kind of person.

Jokes aside I never got people who would argue for the use of moody

it just makes the whole battle a boring slog/crapshoot

poo poo at least it's something useless/squishy like Bibarel, imagine like Ferrothorn with moody

if you don't play RNG based heroes/gimmicks in every video game you can.

ABB, always be betting.

Yes

Though honestly outside the Z-Crystals there aren't a ton of new items. It also confirmed the unique Z-Moves only key off certain things so Snorlax requires Giga Impact, Regular Pikachu needs Volt Tackle, Hat Pikachu needs T-Bolt etc.

There is an item that extends terrains.

Trick Room counts as a terrain now, by the way.

Is there a restriction on how many Z-moves can be used per battle?

I like Gigalith because it can setup Gravity first turn with Sturdy, then Explode at max speed with Custap Berry. But I'm glad Sand Stream will give it the attention it deserves!

It's one per trainer, so in Multi and Royale Battles, there can be four Z-Moves, but in Double Battles, there can only be two.

Still wish that Growlithe got an Alolan form so the old rivals would be contrasted. Vulpix and Sandshrew needed it a lot more, though.
