  1.  VGC 2025 Regulation I Metagame Discussion

    I've thought about trying Grimmsnarl soon as a Fairy support after using Whimsicott but Scream Tail is the current mon I'm using in that slot and has been nice even without setting any screens. Non prankster encore helps into a lot of mons and it still seems to be bulky enough to survive and...
  2.  VGC 2025 Regulation I Metagame Discussion

    Would Dialga-O and Ho-Oh be too lacking in power for a TR setup? I love Dialga so it's not coming out but I'm still pretty new and figuring out VGC

    Why does the Celesteela set from the Smogon Dex run a - speed nature? Also does it need all of those SpDed EVs?

    Ting Lu whirlwind would probably be the most consistent option. Brave Bird Corv also OHKOs offensive Volcarona after luring it in. Iron Boulder probably forces a Tera, switch, or revenge

    Use Blaziken instead of Hawlucha on a grassy terrain team. Rilla + hazards and their control + special wallbreaker/sweeper + speed control. Ripping this off the top without thinking about synergy but Tusk, Bolt, and Greninja give you top options for most of those roles and probably good synergy...

    Not the greatest player/builder myself but I imagine you're team at a minimum is looking like Rilla + Hawlucha and then from there you're going to add hazards, hazard control, and then wallbreakers + scarfers to open holes for Lucha and have a revenge threat outside of grassy glide. I would look...
