serperior is definitely ubers, and probably enamorus too. you can't even tera to stop their sweeps, that makes it worse
252+ SpA Choice Specs Raging Bolt Thunderclap vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Rillaboom: 141-166 (41.3 - 48.6%) -- 13.3% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Grassy Terrain recovery
I hope y’all are ready.
I hope y’all are ready.
This seems ass
Unless I'm reading it wrong, I'm assuming it's just neutral against regular targets
Ting sits on it like how ogrepon sits on specs wake. Idk, getting blasted by tusk, lando, ting and scor eq before hitting them is kinda rough. It's still hella sheist tho. I hope they give it an ice type vacuum wave in the future for the lols.
oh kingambit might just stay OU
This shit is fucking stupid, ban Tera.
Gourging Flames has way too close stats to Entei which I kind of don't like. They are good, but I wish it got similar treatment to Suicune did with Walking Wake.
Hydrapple, eehhh bulk special attacker with ton of wasted Atk it can't use because it's too low and has a x4 weakness
Archaludon gets decent stat buff, it's crazy to be the first non-Psuedo/Legendary to have 600 BST.
Raging Bolt, honestly was not expecting it to be that fast given its design, which is neat at least.
Iron Boulder does a 180 from terrible designwise to absurdly strong statewise.
Iron Crown looks like the worst of the 3 statwise, which is pretty disappointing.
Terapagos stats are pretty disappointing in how they're distributed. Base form is sucky, second form is pretty bland without that "Mew" style flavor as its not even equal, and third form is like really bulk Enamorus-T that's faster.
Pecharunt is also pretty disappointing statwise. Literally all stats besides Def are 88. It's literally legendary Onix.
Kind of neat, it also gets Solar Beam. While niche, I could see something like CM+Solar Beam+Thunderclap-Filler working well on Sun
Thank the lord. I HARD tilted when I moved my Breloom up and it lost Spore.
i genuinely didn't expect stellar tera to be something that manages to change nobody's mind on tera
Is Tera Blast still a Normal-type attack in this instance, though? When hitting non-Tera targets I mean.
It likely should get a one time boost from Stellar as well assuming that's still an option. For something like Serperior that would love neutral coverage it looks like a very solid choice if not absolutely bonkers.
i'm not sure? i feel like it might be omni-neutral but i'm seeing conflicting reports
if this is accurate, it only works against Terastallized Pokemon. That seems far too situational to be good.
Zmoves were the healthiest imo
pecharunt doesn't sound that bad? it has a strong typing, 88/160/88 is insane bulk and 88 speed is workable for a defensive mon. either offense being 88 isn't even bad for a defensive mon that is clearly meant to win through non-direct damage anyway. i don't count it out of competitive at all
What gets the Stellar tera type? A particular form of Terapagos?
anything
i'd go so far as to say it's actually somewhat of a nerf to tera because there's now a specific anti-tera option everyone has to watch out for
600 BST Steel / Dragon back to back
One’s a regional variant and the other‘s a cross-gen evolution
Nah, tera or megas. Z-moves were batshit insane, especially on stuff like lando and kyub which basically guaranteed an ohko.
