Huh. Between this and the bottle caps/nature mints, maybe there will actually be cases where its easier to just catch a mon in the Wild Area, train it to level 100 and set its IVs and nature if you have a surplus of BP. Especially nice for trade-evo mons such as Dusknoir (and hopefully Gengar/Machamp from raids) which appear in the Wild Area.
Any concrete information on how the post-game will look like yet? Maybe new explorable areas?
Cause if we're stuck with just a battle tower again, I'm starting to loose hope for my eventual Sinnoh remakes
The Zacian/Zamazenta plot resolves itself in the post-game.
Battle Tower (and you can get Type: Null)
Wild Area stuff
Rematches (idk to what extent)
That's pretty much all we know rly lol

Ok whoa whoa whoa...throat spray raises special attack every time a sound move is used? You mean like, Bug Buzz? Its a good thing volcorona isnt here or-
ICE MOTH NOISES

It's probably a consumable.

A list of sound type attacks as a reminder. I suspect toxiricty will get some new soundnattscks for its ability.

It should. Otherwise, its ability would be wasted by a lack of STAB sound moves.
Primarina weeps in the back of the Galar walls....
Tbf, we still got Sylveon (assuming HV learning exists).
That's my guess as well. It would be hilariously broken otherwise.
The question is, does it activate before or after the triggering move is executed?
Well, could've guessed that, nothing too fancy. Wild area stuff will probably be all kinds of raids.
But in all honesty, if there really won't be a definitive third version/sequel as rumored, than that's quite lackluster imo...
Then, for some I don't know, even Trick Room Pkm have 31 Speed IV. Unless GF changed their mind, it's unlikely but not impossible.
Edit: So, the extra 4 are indeed added. Now, let's hope the speed IVs are 0 as well

Tyranitar was checked early on. The extra 4 were added.
Seems like a power level concern. Redirection plus overpowered setup move (e.g. Geomancy) has been a powerful strategy in several past VGCs.
Blitzamirin could we maybe get a section for new moves and abilities?
Friend Safaris will never come back, will they? :/
If a different thread on vp from the other day is to be believed, the leaker apparently said dreepy (or drakloak?) could be caught in that same area, which would mean that after at least 3rd gym it could be obtained. I will certainly be heading straight there once I get into the wild area if true, especially since dragapult evolves so late!
I'm ok with that. They were fun, but it did mean that some people's save files were just objectively better than others.
Wait, hol' up
Are you telling me we have a dragon-ghost with 142 speed, 120 attack in a meta with low power-level, access to Dragon Dance to outspeed pretty much anything even with Scarf and perhaps even a new physical ghost move?

Grimmsnarl eats him for breakfast.
Imagine the rage if it would get Parental Bond as it's Hidden Ability:-D
As an Ice type holder, I can confirm that, but it was a cool and nice way to catch HA mons.
Still, something using the friend list would be cool. But it seems that the whole focus now is the raid battles.
