Oh my god, Wimpod is the new Magikarp. Evolves at level 30 only knows Struggle Bug and Sand Attack.

Can learn a few TMs/HMs tho.

Cosmog only learns Splash and Teleport, even less than Magikarp.

Slush Rush is a new ability that is a Hail version of Swift Swim. Might help Alola Sandslash somewhat.

That move that puts up both screens, Aurora Veil, can only be used during hail, but one of the Pokemon that gets it is Alolan Ninetails, who gets Snow Warning and has 109 base speed.

Yeah, but everyone was talking up how good Aurora Veil sounds so trying to balance the bad can only use during hail news with something.

Game tells you how many turns of rain are left, like Showdown. Unlike Showdown, reveals the use of Damp Rock.

Look at its attack animations. The anchor is just an accessory (this also explains its ability Steelworker), the real Pokémon is the wooden ship wheel. Wood = Grass-type.
