@jessalakasam , participate, since you are my buddy when it comes to the English card leaks.

This thread shows the Attack name changes on Pokemon's attacks in Forbidden Light. This I important because how TPCi changes negative words that is related to death or being connected to religion like Plague which is related to death.

These attack name change based on what saw on YouTube's Early pack openings.

Scatterbug's Plague to Abnormal Outbreak
Exeggcute's Sprout to Multiply because Exeggcute is not a plant.
Alolan Marowak's Alola Circle to Alolan Club
Delphox's Magical Torch to Mystical Torch
Pyroar's Dominate Fang to Dominating Fangs ???
Frogadier's Quick Shuriken to Gale Shuriken
Greninja's Wind Shuriken and Shadow Assassin to Shuriken Flurry and Shadowy Hunter ,respectively.
Scatterbug's Super Evolution to Ultra Evolution
Clawitzer's Standby to Standing By
Bergmite's Smash to Break Open
Avalugg's Ground Freeze to Frozen Ground
Heliolisk's Shockwave to Volt Wave
Xurkitree's Flash Bullet and Cable Ram to Dazzle Blast and Cablegram ???
Espurr's Energy Play to Energy Teaser
Meowstic's Teleport Break to Teleportation Burst
Honedge's Final Hour
Doublade's Blade's Curse to Curse of the Blades
Aegislash's Record of Death to Ticking Knock Out
Poipole's Corpse Revival to Knockout Reviver
Malamar's Psycho Recharge and Psy Missile to Psychic Recharge and Psychic Sphere
Dragalge's Poison Barb to Poison Point because Barb was an Item
Naganadel's Beast Ride and Jet Tackle to Beast Raid and Jet Needle
Cubone's Heavy Bone to Burdensome Bone
Z10's Earth Aura to Earthen Aura
Z100's Cell Connect and Judgement to Cell Connector and Verdict
Diancie's Princess' Cheers
Pangoro's Frenzied Punch to Untamed Punch
Guzzlord's King's Valley to Lord's Valley. Honestly, translated one should be fit
Flabebé's Headstart Evolution to Evolutionary Advantage
Floette's Petal Spin to Swirling Petals
Florges' Wondrous Gift
Sylveon's Wink to Wink Wink lol

Does this really need a thread devoted to it? It's really only the first one that's a major change to begin with. (And Shadowy Hunter, I guess, which admittedly is a fairly poor attack name, though Shadow Assassin isn't really any better.) And even then, "Plague" wasn't a very fitting attack name to begin with.

Nice opinion. Actually, my job when a new set came out is to look out for the attack name and how it was compared to the translated ones. Sorry in advance because If I comment the changes to the attack name, nobody cares about it. It was intended for the people to remember the English atk name rather than Japanese ones. I'll edit my first post once I get the attack name changes.
