Quark Drive does work for non-grounded Pokemon.
it's possible that it may drop to UU, but I would be surprised. bulky bulk up surprise tera (with flash fire) 6-0s certain teams on preview, and switches in to and takes advantage of tusk w tera, valiant, cinderace, dirge, volcarona, iron moth, torkoal, etc.; while weak armor SD sets can cheese on HO.
(Click the team for the PokePaste link)I'm REALLY struggling with Tera Bug, Flash Fire, Bulk Up Ceruledges right now. It's super frustrating and I have no idea how in the hell I can beat it with my squad.
The major problems is that assuming it's using the normal spread of Careful, 252 HP / 200 SpDef / 56 Speed, these things happen:
-Skeledirge can't do much to it. Torch Song is nullified by Flash Fire, and Shadow Ball doesn't do enough damage. If I commit to my Fairy Tera on it, then it just clicks Bitter Blade and outregens my damage output.
-Gren does nothing to it, just because of all of the special bulk and Tera-ing out of its Fire and Ghost typing.
-Tusk does literally nothing to it outside of smacking it ONCE with a Knock Off, then all the damage being negated by Bitter Blade. Rock Slide/Stone Miss on Tusk is too unreliable either due to not enough damage vs +1/+1 Bug Ceru, or lack of accuracy.
-Scizor dies. When Scizor comes in on the +1 Bug Ceruledge, Technician boosted Aerial Ace (which used to be Thief for the Dengo matchup) doesn't OHKO it. (67.2 - 79% vs +1/+1 Ceru)
-Corvi can't wall it because of Bitter Blade.
-Gastro can't touch it because of its bulk, and it just sets up on Gastro.
I'm seriously at a loss here. This is one of the few only sets that my team can't handle at all.
The problem with this is that not factoring in SpDef drops from Shadow Ball, it's outhealing you through Bitter Blade, unless it comes in on you with a Torch Song or two already under your belt. (Or if they switch in a Torch Song, then you're REALLY boned.) The only other option on Dirge is to switch to a different Tera to resist Bitter Blade, but then lose to non-Wisp Volc, or TPunch/EQ Dnite.
I don't use Amoonguss much but I'd assume it's because Giga Drain does a much better work at restoring health. It also has way better moves overall that are worth more in the long game compared to Synthesis. You always wanna run Spore and Giga Drain, so for the last 2 slots you're better off running Sludge Bomb, Foul Play, Toxic, Clear Smog or Stun Spore IMO.
This actually explains a lot, but I also look at various interactions (like Corvi vs Gambit) and I go "How is this passive? Corvi smashes Gambit for so much HP off of a single Body Press..."
If I were to make a hypothesis, it's a combination of a few things
Fair enough.
In the near future it is likely. It has just only been a day or two and it takes some time.
