There's so much shit like this. Thank god they retconned Leafeon/Glaceon to Leaf Stone/Cold Stone in Sword and Shield (Though who even played Sword and Shield) and changed Grubbin to Thunderstone so presumably Magneton and Nosepass will be too, but the incense shit is still a thing and there's so much more.
They just barely escaped making Runerigus a federal issue since its retardedly location specific evolution can only happen in Galar anyways.
