Most impactful GO Battle League move updates for Season 18

The most impactful GO Battle League move updates for Season 18 are as follows:

• Feraligatr getting access to Shadow Claw dramatically increases its viability in the Great and Ultra League. In fact, it can potentially become one of the best Water-type in the game.
• Goodra has a strong Bait Move in the form of Aqua Tail. It can act as a budget Palkia for the Great League.
• Empoleon and Gallade with Steel Wing and Psycho Cut, respectively, are a lot more spammy than they used to be.
