Hi. Tera Shell activates first making the move not very effective, preserving the Chople Berry for a later attack. Hope this helps.

Hi. Beat Up uses the attack stat of the form that an ally started the battle in, as shown by DaWoblefet in Gen 8. I confirmed this is still the case using Terapagos in Gen 9, too. Palafin specifically is yet to be directly tested but this holds for every other case. Hope this helps.

Hi. This was already checked by me in this post a while ago. Teraform Zero doesn't activate upon Tera or otherwise for baby Terapagos or for other Pokemon, with or without Tera Stellar. I repeated the test to be completely sure of this interaction in the newest game update, though, and it's the...

Hi. I see what you mean now. The terminology around these sorts of things can get really confusing, so I tested what I thought you meant. Apologies for any inconvenience. I'm afraid testing what you actually want tested is beyond my current capabilities, though I very much agree it's an...

Hi again. No need for apologies. Great questions that have led to some exciting findings. Ogerpon, Ogerpon-Mask, and Tera Shift Terapagos never enter their special forms (Ogerpon-Tera, Terapagos-Stellar) if they Terastallize while already Transformed. For instance, Ogerpon never receives...

Hi. Good catch. I previously thought the Transform wild check was for "if species equals Smeargle" so it didn't even cross my mind whatsoever at the time of recording, but it turns out it's the much more restrictive "if species does not equal Ditto or Mew." Here's the corrected video footage...

Lum Berry will activate before Thermal Exchange and Immunity in these cases.

Hi. Good questions. I've attempted to answer all of them with footage except for the Unaware questions this time around. I've also confirmed that the initial use of Outrage won't cause Confusion when attacking into a Fairy-type. Outrage appears to work as it has since the introduction of the...

Hi again. Some tests with footage for mechanics that were being discussed on Discord: A Pokemon holding Life Orb that heals its ally with Pollen Puff does not incur Life Orb recoil damage. This notably doesn't match Showdown's current implementation. Dragon Cheer's crit ratio boost can be...

Hi. Matcha Gotcha is affected by Liquid Ooze and so does reduce the user's health instead of restoring it. In a Doubles battle with Matcha Gotcha hitting one foe with Liquid Ooze and one without, the order of the draining restoration vs Liquid Ooze draining damage for the Matcha Gotcha user...

Hi. Thanks for the follow-up question. I covered it in this post earlier in the thread. In short, TSpikes won't trigger Poison Puppeteer even if Pecharunt sets the TSpikes itself and then phases a target into the battle with Whirlwind. Hope this helps.

Hi. Poison Puppeteer does activate when Pecharunt inflicts Poison on a foe by using Baneful Bunker, as shown in this footage. This notably does not match the current Showdown implementation, where Poison Puppeteer fails to trigger in this case. Great idea! Hope this helps.

Hi. I tested using a Darkrai with an Attack stat of 306 and a Special Attack stat of 275. After lowering Darkrai's Attack stat by two stages with Charm to make it lower than its SpAtk stat, Terastallized Tera Blast was a Special category move even on a Critical Hit. This indicates that it's...

Hi. Yes, this is accurate. I tested it in this post. Hope this helps.

Hi. Anubis beat me to the Fickle Beam + Parental Bond question, but I still have plenty of other information to share that I collected while I was checking that. Sharpness appears to apply before the Same Type Tera BP Minimum. This means that Fury Cutter under your conditions is only 60 base...
