Yeah the gen 8 learnsets are pretty well done. I won't update every Pokemon to use them as it'd take far too long, but I'll do it for a few mons like Squirtle or Lucario that got major improvements. I'm glad GF changed their mind on the move reminder, putting them at the league was a terrible idea.Utilizing gen 8's learnsets does sound better tbh. I'm not super familiar with swsh (I prefer romhacks lol) but just skimming them, it feels like they found a much better balance for levelup sets. Maybe it's because of the wild area giving you much earlier access to a wide variety of mons? It definitely seems like a better base to use though with the adjustments they made, though I think it'd still need some editing due to the heavy amount of level 1 moves (love how they went from gen 7 having the heartscale tutor at the literal end of the game, to swsh having it free and accessible from any pokecenter LOL) but otherwise seems p nice.
I believe they're dumping from pk3ds and reformatting things but I'll have to double check haha. Also we've very much noticed the scariness of rising stars and ace trainers! I'm always terrified of running into the trainer with the Horsea- 252 spatk, modest, and buffed 85bp/100acc Octazooka is downright murderous😭Route 12 is equally terrifying. I discovered the hard way in my nuzlockes that there's a trainer with 252 spatk adaptability normal gem Porygon-Z, and another with 252 spatk z-solar beam Delphox. May my Primarina rest in peace.
Ah that Horsea needs fixing again. It started out with Water Pulse, had it replaced with Octazooka after Water Pulse was buffed, and now it's going to need that swapped out for Bubble Beam or something. A few people have run afoul of that guy with the Porygon-Z now, that Route is nasty for Nuzlockes. Hard to say if that's a good thing or a bad thing; making the fodder trainers too strong can make clearing a route a bit tedious, but at least it's memorable!
