Hidden Abilities will hopefully be introduced with the addition of legendary dungeons.

It's safe to say that Garchomp's Sand Veil ability is now useless in PvP as it no longer works, yes.

Thank you! Was this a recent change?

Correct, this change took effect almost two weeks ago. See Changelog: 02/04/2020

Balancing reasons, mostly.

Was it really that game breaking that they had to remove it completely? I just got a Garchomp today :(

The guys over in the competitive subforum would probably be able to answer this much better than me, but it has to deal with the combination of Garchomp's amazing stats and an ability that can create a lot of inconsistencies and luck based matches. Garchomp regardless will be a huge threat in the meta without his ability being active, and will still probably be highly used.

Even though it doesn't have its Sand Veil ability anymore, it is still very competitive due to its amazing stats - so just keep using it.

What balance? xD

Flygon is better than garchomp, have roost, dragon tail. Druddigon to, better than garchomp.

Should probably read up on Sand Veil. Statwise Garchomp has the distinct edge, add in an active Sand Veil and Garchomp becomes even more powerful because of the 1.25x evasion boost in a sandstorm which essentially causes it to break Evasion Clause. Evasion boosts make matches rely more on luck than skill. Without Sand Veil being active Garchomp still retains power but is more levelled with others in OU.

Any hint about when this will be available?
