The first trailer showed a Mega Charizard X clashing with a Tera Water Dondozo, implying that you can’t mega and tera the same Pokemon (similar to the natdex formats). Also, I enjoy theorymonning

Already speculating for the VGC meta for Champions, my thoughts on how viable the mega evolutions will be. This is assuming they'll all be available. Explanations for S-B. Kangaskhan got slightly better, Scrappy pre mega also makes it immune to Intimidate now. Trick Room is much more...

Smeargle’s not just good on Trick Room - I’ve seen it work well with Shadow Calyrex, since Fake Out + Follow Me is fantastic utility for Nasty Plot sets, making its setup all but guaranteed.

That would be nice, immune to Icy Wind and Blizzard and a free +1 in Tailwind

Ah didn’t know that. Still not big on Aerilate though, don’t want to see STAB 1.2x boosted Extreme Speed on something with at least 134 base attack

I’m hearing Aerliate a lot, but personally I’d prefer Dragonite to become Dragon/Normal type. There’s not many Pokemon with that type, and it has all the coverage to hit the Steel types that resist those moves

Everyone’s (quite rightly) gushing about Mega Dragonite and the return of Alpha Pokemon. Meanwhile I’ quietly dreading the thought of a VGC meta where Xerneas can Tera. Tera Fire blows most the Steels that used to wall it to bits, Tera Steel flips both its weaknesses, while Tera Fairy lets it...

Already working on my builds. For Wo-Chien Iron Moth @ Shell Bell Ability: Quark Drive EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Modest nature Tera type: Poison - Acid Spray - Sludge Wave - Fiery Dance - filler For Chien Pao Poliwrath @ Black Belt Ability: any EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish...

Your breath would be unbearable after eating that. Toothpaste/mouthwash wouldn’t help - what actually happens is you get a combination of mint/garlic

Life Orb Shadow Calyrex is a strong wallbreaker, but it can also sweep late game. Ditto for Life Orb Koraidon. Mystoc Water Kyogre is good to open some holes for the rest of your team. Both Urshifu formes hit really hard, if you want to focus on wallbreaking use Life Orb or Choice Band.

Not the most painful thing ever, but most painful for a long time. The other day I was out walking my parents’ dog and had this weird dizzy spell (been to the doctor since, nothing to worry about luckily) and fell backwards on my butt, right on a thorn. Worst part was I couldn’t stand up for a...

Some potential sets to beat this thing: Flutter Mane @ Fairy Feather / Shell Bell Ability: Protosynthesis Tera Type: Stellar EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD or 252 Def / 252 SpA 4 SpD Bold / Modest Nature - Taunt - Draining Kiss - Moonblast - Calm Mind Immune to both of its STABs, hits it back...
