    Pokémon Dipplin

    This is not entirely correct. Knock off still does bonus damage to Sticky Hold users. You're right about Mega Stones, but it's not equivalent. From Bulbapedia, here's a screenshot describing the interactions: EDIT: Woah, posted from mobile and that image was HUGE. Fixed that.

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v3

    For clarity, not just when Terastallized. As long as Ogerpon is holding a Mask, it's all the time. And as clarity for what I believe arnimacarni actually asked, no. A knocked out Ogerpon is still only worth 1 for Supreme Overlord. FuecocoBoi was just making the equivalency that Ogerpon's 20%...

    Pokémon Fezandipiti

    I kind of like the idea of the pivot set to fish for Toxics off U-turns. The EVs could be played around with for that though. I came up with this for it: Fezandipiti @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Toxic Chain Tera Type: Water (or whatever) EVs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 160 Spe Timid Nature -...

    Pokémon Torterra

    A fun benchmark I found looking at some spread ideas: neutral-natured max-Speed Torterra reaches 422 Speed after a Shell Smash. Timid max-Speed Dragapult hits 421.

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet: The Teal Mask

    I cannot, sadly. And I'm on Violet. So I guess I can't post evidence here for y'all, but I'm sure someone else with it can confirm.

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet: The Teal Mask

    A friend of mine with Scarlet confirmed that Gligar gets both Spikes and Toxic Spikes.

    Gastrodon doesn't get Scald.

    Yes, Alomomola gets Scald back.

    It does not; I got to a TM shop in my game and checked.

    This was found in the data and tested if I'm correct. Folks hacked in Zamazenta (and others too like Palkia, Dialga, etc.), and then eventually the auctions at Porto Marinada will offer those Pokemon-specific items. I don't know if it has to be in your party or in your box, but the game knows...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    I'm honestly incredibly excited for all the meta changes that could come from this. So many interesting other mons are more useable now, including the above Wo-Chien. It still has problems of course, but now it's not an automatic 5v6 to try it out. As more and more people feel the teambuilding...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    Okay I'm gunna be that guy. 5 Pao 1 Garg 1 Ghold 2 Espathra Pao is stupid, and I'd hazard to say we all know why - because the offensive Ruin abilities are freaking broken. Both Garg and Ghold are not issues at all and are completely containable, balanced, and in my honest opinion healthy; if...

    Totally agree! This is the plight of most Ice-types to be fair; the one guy earlier had that whole post about Cryogonal and how it has potential relevance even in OU. It's also part of why both Avaluggs probably aren't up to non-niche OU standard. But if we're comparing normal Avalugg to Hisuian...

    My brother in Arceus, have you heard of Terastallization? I think H-Avalugg does have some minor merits over regular. Most notably, provided they keep some semblance of the PLA learnset, it has access to Stealth Rock. Be it in OU or wherever it eventually lands, a titanically bulky [insert best...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    I've been using Garg a ton as well. It's arguably my favorite Pokemon to come from Gen 9 and has been on almost all my teams that could fit it. If I'm being honest, I really don't see that much of a difference between it and prior-generation Toxapex. That explains why people dislike it so much...

    I've been seeing that thing several times over my 5 suspect test runs so far. It's actually kind of infuriating when it works. Typically I've seen this Dragonite @ Leftovers Ability: probably Multiscale Tera Type: ??? Who knows on EVs and nature, I was too angry to figure em' out - Fire...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    I have to chime in here too and absolutely agree, this bull is actually incredible! I've been trying a bunch of sample teams and new mons as well, and the incredible utility Tauros-PF provides is crazy. The feeling of relief I get now when I see Chien-Pao at preview knowing it can't really break...

    Metagame Terastallization Tiering Discussion [ UPDATE POST #1293]

    Thank you, Finchinator!! This is a great update on the direction that the suspect test will likely go. An additional HUGE thank you for assembling the results of the survey data. I also believe that the idea of the two-question vote and the ranked-choice voting will give us the best outcome as...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    Praise Arceus for that, if you ask me. Not everything needs Toxic and Knock Off, let alone a ton of other things like random tutor moves from back in Gen 3 (looking at you Softboiled). This will be an incredible breath of fresh air that we needed. EDIT: At above, if battle-ready mark was...

    I wanted to circle back on this question, since I'm probably not the only one with it and I don't think it got an adequate answer. To be clear, I mean no offense to RajonRandom, as that method should work. That said, I'm sure it's not the most practical way to exactly calculate the effects of X...
