talking about acrobatics damage does it do full 110 damage or 55
Because Z-Crystals aren't used up, Acrobatics will still only be 55 Power because it requires your item slot to be empty.
Not sure I understand what you're asking, since Safety Goggles still block all powder and weather. This has not changed from Gen 6.
Perhaps you are thinking of the Swimming Goggles rumor from Gen 5? It was a bad rumor that ran wild for a time before finally getting squashed.
Are the Primal Orbs obtainable in-game? This is important for PS! tiers.
Hau'oli City shopping mall along with the creation trio orbs.
Posting that Charizardites are available for this SuMo Gen!

It will be good to have Mega-zards here in SuMo too!

Knock off does not gain a boost from it and does not remove the item (so the same thing as Arceus).
First hit breaks disguise, the next ones damage it.
Parental Bond does not cause a z-move to hit twice.
Edit: posting here for records. Battery boosts SpA of the ally by 1.3x

I tested Sheer Force interactions with this with the whole Emergency Exit debacle earlier, and iirc it still blocked it. Knock Off also still seems to hit off items before they trigger.
Also, PS doesn't have Psychic Fangs implemented as a "Bite" move, and I can confirm in-game it's boosted by Strong Jaw.
Maybe I misunderstood the premise, but Emergency Exit can most certainly activate more than once per battle. Had it activate in a trainer battle, healed him up with a potion, sent him back in and it activated again after dropping below 50%.
Also went ahead and tried a different approach: I let Emergency Exit activate, this time brought it back in below 50% and used Leech Life to bring it above 50%, and the next attack that lowered its health below 50% again caused Emergency Exit to activate for the 2nd time in the same battle.

On Showdown I was using Normalium-Z Porygon-Z (to try out Z-Conversion) and I also had HP Fire in my set. When I clicked to use Normalium-Z it had the option to use HP Fire (because it is a normal move) but it would turn into Inferno Overdrive. I had assumed that HP Fire would either become Inferno Overdrive with Firium-Z or Breakneck Blitz with Normalium-Z. This has to be a bug, isn't it?
Yes, but that belongs in the Bug Reports thread.
Meanwhile, about this Burn Up type change. I understand that if you then use Revelation Dance, that move now has ??? type. Presumably, like Struggle, this doesn't affect the target if it has the ability Color Change, and Conversion 2 fails?
How does Protean interact with Burn up? Specifically, can you
- use some other Fire-type move, then Burn Up, then repeat the two moves ad nauseum
- use some other Fire-type move, then Burn Up, then some move of another type, then repeat the three moves ad nauseum
- use some other Fire-type move, then Burn Up, but subsequent attempts to use Burn Up fail until you switch
Edit: I apparently fail at reading comprehension ugh. My "answer" didn't answer your question.
-Yes, you can alternate another Fire-type move and Burn Up with Protean
-Yes, you can transform between types and then use Burn Up, as long as you used your other Fire-type move on the turn previous to using Burn Up
-Yes, subsequent uses of Burn Up will fail because the move fails before the Protean trigger
Assist cannot call Z-moves.
Anchor Shot and Spirit Shackle do not lock in an opponent holding Eject Button;text says, "The opposing <Pokemon> cannot escape!", then Eject Button activates like normal.
