Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
The big issue with ghost tera is it provides pretty much no offensive utility since Ghost hits the same types super effective that Dark already does and doesn't offer that much more neutral coverage for dark and steel, and tera types like fairy can lessen fighting type damage with a resist while...
If the stats are real Quaquaval honestly seems like a worse gyarados in many ways, stats are worse across the board except sp attack that doesn't matter at all, 1 point in def which won't really matter, and 4 points in speed but it's still going to be too slow for that to matter very often
I feel so bad for Spectrier. Like if it had a decent coverage move in literally any type besides Dark (which offers literally nothing Ghost doesn't besides hitting normal types) you could probably make a decent set with two attacks and substitute and nasty plot (or protect in doubles), but right...
I feel like an effectively 150 BP priority move (given that when it has priority, it's also boosted by grassy terrain) would be kind of busted

I get the feeling the three hit thing is just flavor text and not an actual mechanical thing. Would seem weird to make a move that always crits and can also bypass sash so easily
pretty sure we don't have confirmation of grassy glide and burning jealousy being either physical or special, and Shell Side Arm is explicitly stated to be special
