Some early thoughts. Iron Hands is pure evil..... especially under screens/terrain, you need to bring a Skeledirge or Quagsire otherwise at least 2 of your mons are getting destroyed. Kleavor is great, also don't use Azelf/Mew as leads - Meowscarada fills in that role much better imo...

I think a Volcarona retest should be the least of our priorities right now honestly. Not only do we not have sufficient informarion on how it performs in the current meta, there are far more problematic things that we need to get out of the way and that includes Tera, which we should re-suspect...

Until it's CM/Specs Psyshock, in which case: +1 252 SpA Iron Valiant Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Sylveon: 228-269 (57.8 - 68.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery It's dead if it Tera into Poison. There are better checks out there

looking at the VR i realized we need some good pivots but with all the setup sweepers and hazards running amok that seems like a tall order. the higher ranks are mostly just setup sweepers and their enablers.

I don't see either very often but when I do it's just Breloom and not Amoonguss, and they don't even send it out. Between Grass and Flying Terastalizers, Gholdengo and Garganacl, and Lum Berry dragons running amok, Spore users aren't in a very good place rn imo.

Here's another Dondozo + Garganacl team ft. 4 offensive mons I made to reach Master rank. https://pokepast.es/8369b6f3abeda237 A few notes: Dondozo and Garganacl pretty much cover most offensive threats. Ghost Garganacl is there as a general Dragapult/Breloom check and status absorber, while...

Wow, I thought this was a classy party. Anyway, has anyone used Iron Jugulis with decent success? What sets are great for it besides Nasty Plot which it doesn't even get

Yes, but 1) you have to dedicate an entire team and item slot for a Z-move user whilst everyone can Tera and 2) Z crystals were only an offensive option, Terastalizing can be used defensively and offensively and the STAB boosts lasts the entire game. The benefits of a successful Tera is far, far...

Ban Tera omg It just allows so many things to get away with poor matchups and turn the games into their favor in just one click - very reminiscent of Dynamax, albeit in a different, less on-the-nose kind of way. Tera creates and encourages a a metagame with so many unknowns, one where basically...
