Not usually, but a common EV spread is max HP max SpD, which is also the spread listed on its Smogon analysis page.
It tends to run 0 or very little creep. SR sets can run max pdef or close, but idef sets tend to run sdef

A Mold Breaker Pokemon can use status moves on Garganalc?
nope, it’s immune to status themselves, Gholdengo is protected from moves
Yes, Mold Breaker ignores Purifying Salt.
The question was on Garganacl, not Gholdengo, and as I said above, Mold Breaker does in fact ignore these abilities, both Purifying Salt and Good as Gold.
Next big individual tour is smogtour right?
OST in January
how long until it is finally decided what will hapen with terastylization?
The vote goes up in about 3ish hours if im not mistaken for those who req. Maybe we'll get some info by end of day today or tomorrow?
I’d expect a longer vote but yes by Friday the latest
how do I check Tera Fairy Gambit and Ceruledge. These two always mess my shit up
Breloom beats Kingambit in most scenarios thanks to spore since you don't have to deal with 50/50 with tera.
Kingambit can pretty much be checked by anything that can have a free switch with a type advantage. Gholdengo can hit it with Make it Rain, as well as Terastilize to take less damage from Sucker Punch (this is the safest option considering Supreme Overlord will vary on the state of the game). Anything that can resist Kingambit with high attack can easily 1v1 it. Fairy Kingambit is the easier one to deal with, Flying gives more difficulty considering it then pretty much counters Great Tusk, any fighting type and essentially only becomes to Ice, Electric and Rock types, most of which aren't seen too much in the current meta, so Fairy is the least of your worries.
Ceruledge is similar, so long as Weak Armour isn't activated, it's very easy to outspeed with any kind of speed control on your team, any ghost or dark type, any ground type... Ceruledge has a lot of weaknesses with poor defence and coverage, really only carrying STAB moves and CC. Rotom-Wash + Ting Lu cores work well as Pokemon with high defences and good type resistances respectively, especially Rotom which can pivot with Volt-Switch into a check, which there are many of such as Gholdengo, Dragapult, Great Tusk etc.
When will be home avaliable?
Springtime
Where to vote on Tera? Can any member join?

Probably the metagame discussion thread
when will the reservation thread to talk about pokemon be open dnv? and the pokemon i want is not on the list either
Dusk Mage Necrozma
formerly XenonHero126
All Pokemon legal in OU already have threads. If you want a Pokemon that’s not on the list then it’s not in SV.
Edit: nvm, it’s only ones relavent to OU. If you think a Pokemon without a thread has an OU niche, message an OU mod.
