    According to GameFAQs, three new attacks were found in X and Y via RAM dump. These are called Hold Hands, Thousand Arrows, and Thousand Waves; former is a normal-type move, and latter two are ground. With Hold Hands, your Pokémon should be able to raise the happiness of its ally. Thousand Arrows strikes opponent if they're in air, pulling them into the ground. As for Thousand Waves, if your foe gets struck by it, they would be stuck and unable to escape (could be very useful in roaming legendary battles). Anyway, what are your thoughts on them, guys? Are you expecting them to be distributed eventually as an event-only move, like Celebrate, Happy Hour, and Hold Back? d:
     
    From the speculation I've seen, the latter two moves could be exclusive to Zygarde, perhaps some sort of twist we haven't seen yet. Hold Hands sounds more like a gimmicky move, so perhaps that may be an event-only move.

    Sounds like a double battle move like helping hand to me
     
    Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves must be connected to Zygarde somehow. Maybe he has two alternate forms, depending on either Yveltal or Xerneas? Thousand Arrows links to the sky (Yveltal), thousand waves may link to the ground(Xerneas).
     
    I agree with everyone else, they almost have to be connected to zygarde and and new game. With holding hands being similar to celebi and inkay ' s event moves.
    I'm excited to hear about this as this is the first time seeing anything about them. Thank you for posting this Peitharchia.
     
    God I would love some new content for this game. Really enjoyed Y, but it felt like it was only 2/3 of the game was there. More moves, more legendaries, more megas and maybe a new smaller region would be awesome!
     
    Not sure about Hold Hands (maybe an event move/signature for Pokemon like Plusle/Minun), but the other two are definitely linked to Zygarde imo, especially since they're ground-type moves.

    Zygarde, like Rayquaza, is a balance to the two other legendaries, and these two moves appear to help him do just that. Thousand Arrows would be to counter Yveltal, possibly ridding him of his flying typing, and Thousand Waves would be to counter Xerneas.

    This reminds me of when Freeze Shock and Ice Burn were found in Black and White's data, later revealed to be signature moves for new Kyurem forms. So who's to say this could be the very same thing happening here? If so, we can conclude that, like Kyurem, Zygarde will get new forms somehow in the next version, either 2 Mega Evolutions or two alternate forms, each to counter either Xerneas or Yveltal. Personally, I'm hoping for Mega Zygarde X and Mega Zygarde Y. xD
