We've got a look at the list of Pokemon moves that have been cut from Sword and Shield. This is a pretty big list and is pretty disappointing, especially if you are a fan of the competitive side of the games. This comes after all of the controversy about a bunch of Pokemon being cut from the game.
Not only have a lot of moves been cut, but if you bring in Pokemon from other games and they have some of the cut moves you will get the following message:
This move can’t be used. It’s recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can’t be remembered.
It should be said that this list was datamined, so there's a possibility that it ends up being wrong. However, it appears that all of the leaks we have seen have been pretty much confirmed by in-game screenshots and streams of the game.
Some of the key moves that have been cut are Return, Pursuit, and Hidden Power. These were all moves that were used fairly often in competitive play and will shake things up quite a bit in the meta.
