Not only are a good amount of Pokemon being left out of Sword and Shield, but the moves will also see some changes.

Due to potential controversies, some moves will be removed, some names will change (only certain languages will see this change), and a few moves effects will be updated.

>This is not a full list, but is a confirmed list.

>Moves being removed
Beat Up
Earthquake
Eruption
Explosion
Hurricane
Self-Destruct


>Moves being renamed
Milk Drink changed to Special Drink
Seed Bomb changed to Pop Seeds
Guillotine changed to Claw Crunch
Submission changed to Jump Smash (Jpn to Crushing Wheel)

Attract will apply to both genders, but will be less effective against Pokemon of the same gender.

This decision was also very difficult to make. The announcement will be made August 9.
