pop bomb persian is honestly pretty mid. i've used it on a couple teams but it's just eh. it's slightly faster than maushold, but worse in every other way. it also doesn't get tidy up, which is part of what gives maushold its niche

i've been having a ton of success with specs dragon energy pult, it's definitely horrifying. Dragapult @ Choice Specs Ability: Infiltrator Tera Type: Dragon EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Dragon Energy - Hex - Fire Blast - Thunderbolt i basically just...

eterrain has been working pretty great for me bc of one move: RISING VOLTAGE. i remember using this move on pincurchin in gen 8, but otherwise i have no memory of it. turns out it's actually pretty sick in this meta there aren't many electric r mons, but here are a couple who can abuse it...

oh my god v-create volcanion in trick room is wild please replace vine whip tho the coverage isn't worth running a 45bp move, just throw eq on there or smth

Carbink @ Leftovers Ability: Clear Body Tera Type: Steel EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Body Press - Ceaseless Edge - Protect - Cotton Guard i've only ever known carbink as a screen setter, but get ready for this monster. cotton guard + body press is insane, since...

revavroom has been my favorite paldean pokemon since the games came out, and i'm so hyped to see it be a menace in this meta Revavroom @ Air Balloon Ability: Filter Tera Type: Flying EVs: 252 HP / 56 Atk / 200 SpD Careful Nature - Iron Head - Rage Fist - Victory Dance - Recover air...

i haven't been playing super often, but dugtrio and muk are carrying me currently. team: https://pokepast.es/ae06e0859ccc2fb8 some replays: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9tiershift-1864573999 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9tiershift-1865108985-7y3zbmu6nq7049k9de45k1tyyug9efbpw...

this might just be bc i've been running into a ton of them, but protect is pretty valuable for slaking. maybe facade/night slash/sd/protect? sd seems like a pretty vulnerable turn, especially with toxic ticking down, so maybe cc instead of it would work even better.

revavroom is easily my fav gen 9 pokemon, and it actually benefits a ton from this om old spread: 80/119/90/54/67/90 new spread: 80/139/110/74/87/110 while it doesn't have access to great, reliable stabs (spin out lowers speed, gunk shot is inaccurate) so it has to run 80bp moves, it does have...

my bad, i forgot about electromorphosis with trick room LMAO arboliva and rabsca actually have insanely similar stats, but i prefer arboliva for ghost and powder immunities + better abilities. it's also much slower for trick room teams. some other possible trick room abusers pincurchin...

i might just be coping since i love this little guy, but bellibolt might be pretty strong old stats: 109/64/91/103/83/45 new stats: 109/84/111/123/103/65 speed is still a massive weak point, but the extra points to its bulk (and already solid spatk) are massive. 109/111/103 is an amazing bulk...

massive respect to you for making a solid sand team, i tried to and gave up (even when shed tail was unbanned) the point about the limited dex is so real, it sucks that this won't be omotm by the time home comes out REAL!! i hate feeling like all of my teams need to have flying...

that's why i chose to run overheat on it too. still didn't really do much, so time to go back to the eterrain team!!! plus if you run hdb to avoid hazards, you get outsped by anything above base 100 speed, which has a lot more than you'd think. i did not know drakloak was 102, but that terrifies...

yeah, it kind of already has all of the fire moves it'll ever use (just eruption/overheat). i've been using it a bit in my old sun team instead of tropius, and "meh" is honestly the best word for it. sure, it's nice, but sun boosted eruption doesn't change the fact that it has suuuper mediocre...

that makes total sense, thank you for clarifying!
