Every serious team runs Zacian Crowned which Flutter Mane is completely helpless against. It's a tough meta for the little ghostie, unfortunately. It's also pretty hardwalled by Dirge as well which is also everywhere. The fact that Fighting coverage is literally everywhere also means it's a...

Its movepool diversity isn't itself the problem, it's that they gave it an ability it can do nothing with beyond the two usable moves it learns that it boosts. They could have given it some other ability that would help it in a similar manner. Or, had they given it, idk, Psychic Fangs and a few...

I still can't believe they didn't give this guy any more biting moves. They give coverage to everything nowadays but not for H-Avalugg, an infamously terrible pokemon even when it was new

What I intended to get across was "status moves in general" like Reflect and so on but for some reason my brain took a wrong turn somewhere and used 'evasion'. You raise good points anyway. I don't know if this dig/fly will be particularly great since there are a couple ways to deal with it...

The Dig/Fly glitch de-activates if the user uses either move again, though this of course would require PP stalling their other 3 moves until they're forced to switch or use dig/fly. So I guess that's a viable strategy? Might see something like Defense Curl Chansey or some such to win PP stall...

I would be shocked if my Chi-Yu Flamethrower OHKO'd instead of dealing 30%, you might be onto something

Doesn't tera flying do that, except objectively better lol

I guess it loses the Fighting weakness and gets resistance to Ground to boot, but other than that I don't really see what this does for Moon. Now it's weak to opposing Moons which are probably tera Flying so Acro is an OHKO surely, and of course Chi-Yu absolutely cooks it. I just don't see why...

See I don't think Tera's all that busted since that game 1 Chi-Yu terastallizing into a Grass type was the most obvious, telegraphed move in the history of Pokemon and idk how that didn't get predicted. That is, it's not unpredictability that's the problem imo. In game 2, there wasn't really any...
