That's not really what I was asking but thanks for the info.
I was talking about the heights and Dex info in general.

I was talking about the heights and Dex info in general.
GIgantamax forms don't have dex info. It's only Eternatus that does.
So they only gave the height info in the promos for the game but not in the game itself? That's dumb -_-
Although, has anyone found the scaling factor for Dynamax in general? (Like is the model increased by a scale of 20 or 30?)

can you gimme a relatively spoiler-free tl;dr of your thoughts and grievances? as i type im trying not to look at quoted text lmao
I'll try...
You know how Team Flare's comical demeanor really clashed with a motive like global genocide? So at the time I wished Gamefreak would go back to simple criminals like Team Rocket.
Let's say they took that ball and ran it further than it's ever gone before. The game is almost plot-less save for the absolute tail-end.
For those who want more explicit story spoilers, see the hide-tab below:
While I suspect this isn't a surprise to most of you, Rose is the true villain who awakens Eternatus to use as a battery for an implied energy shortage but of course it runs amock. But Rose operates independently with no support (save Oleana who is dealt with elsewhere), so you get a boss fight against him but no underlings nor dungeons to get through. It's just him. And after beating him he's waaaaaaaaay too chill about the whole affair and is quietly arrested off-screen after the fight with Eternatus.
Eternatus is ultimately a pokemon so as you should know by Gamefreak lore there's no such thing as a truly bad pokemon. You get admittedly a neat 4 on 1 fight against it's Eternamax form (you, Hop, and the two cover legends) but despite the hype it doesn't do much evil stuff. It's a re-hash of Necrozma, almost note-for-note).
Team Yell is exactly what they appear to be: rowdy fans. They stop being relevant not long after the mid-point.
80% of the story is instead a sports anime, just take away most of the drama.
There is a sidequest in the background about how the Galar royalty lied and stole the credit for defeating Eternatus in the past from the cover wolves, but it has sidequest stakes (largely resolved within itself with little impact on anyone else). It's mostly in the post game, and the Galar royalty are so foppish that they cannot be taken seriously even for a Pokemon game (get this, it's two brothers with their hair in the shape of a sword and shield). You do get a match with Hop and his cover legend at the end of it, but it's a completely friendly bout and nowhere near the level of N's fight in Black and White.

Watch GameExplain’s review. It addresses all his points while not spoiling the stuff.
I meant as in- are they in the game ?
They themselves can’t be captured in game but their models and move etc. exist and thus can be transferred from Pokémon Home.
That's good at least
Grass Knot is capped at 120 BP
Not really? Zacian looks to be the most dangerous Pokémon rn, and we also got Nasty Plot Mewtwo, Reshiram having an amazing type, Lunala also will probably be very good, etc.

Since we've been talking SWSH reviews...
Neat thread
Neat thread
But Necrozma isn't going to be in the game right? At least not into Home?
Hey, I found that the heights and info of Gigamaxed forms are in the game. So why were they not in the pastebin?

How often do pokemon with yellow auras spawn?
Still can't find a video of someone opening up the box and clicking "check summary". Oddly, I found pictures of this months in advance for Let's Go. Skimming youtube videos but they're long and all focus on the same story gameplay stuff. Find it odd that no one seems to have any interest in showing off what stats you can see in game or how the box system fully works... and its driving me crazy!
Suppose I'll know sometime tomorrow if I can get a chance to pick up a copy.

Werster uploaded his full first playthrough in full (8 hours, spoilers). At this point it's kind of not prerelease, but better safe than sorry.
One small thing I noticed here is that X items are used automatically on the active Pokemon, unlike since Gen 5 where they let you choose others in your party that would just fail.
EDIT: Werster uploaded postgame. He got the IV Judge and battle tower music after beating Leon in the Battle Tower, though he did it in one go so it may just have all unlocked when he came out. I like that you get a brief description of any new items you get. Don't like the 1 second animation that you have a dynamax band at the start of every battle.

One returning feature I missed in SM is the little jingles that play when you encounter trainers. In SM it was only Team Skull and Aether Foundation Employees who had unique jingles -- everyone else had the same standard track. In SwSh, we're back to having different tracks for different trainer classes.
Question: Ok, so...can I knock my Yamask out, feed it a rare candy, take it to the dust bowl and evolve it...or do I just have to damage it
