Check :keldeo: Keldeo @ Choice Specs Ability: Justified EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Tera Type: Water / Fighting Timid Nature - Surf - Secret Sword - Vacuum Wave - Flip Turn Cannot switch cleanly into Draco Meteor, but once Hydreigon locks itself into any move, including the aforementioned...

I know calling Sticky Hold “a lazy solution to an obvious problem” is probably meant to be a snarky off-hand comment, but as the one who suggested it, I think that sufficiently convinced me to concede my case. After thinking about it for a bit, Magician is the better, more interesting fix to the...

Since I suggested Sticky Hold, I want to defend my suggestion. In my post suggesting the ability, I talked about how losing boots makes it really difficult for us to do our job of wanting to click Beak Blast, especially against U-turn due to the charge telegraphing exactly what we are using...

Previously suggested Neutralising Gas to help against Libra, Hemo and Gliscor, but ran a bit of calcs and realised that Stakeout is equally as good against Gliscor and Hemo, and BB still doesn't do anything to Libra even ignoring Bulletproof. Instead, gonna suggest Sticky Hold. One of the best...

I was intentionally avoiding mentioning the E4 as Singapore-based. Malaysians and Indonesians already see us as elitist as it is. Imagine getting called out by Gamefreak too :psynervous:

I know Indonesians and Malaysians are happy to get their regions represented, but as a Singaporean I'm hoping for some reference as well. I don't care about national pride and all that, but if even the SEA region doesn't have a city or Pokemon based around Singapore, then there will likely be no...

:sv/tentacruel: Tentacruel @ Assault Vest Ability: Rain Dish Tera Type: Dark EVs: 252 HP / 240 SpD / 16 Spe Calm Nature - Flip Turn - Rapid Spin - Mirror Coat / Icy Wind - Sludge Bomb I'm tired of AV Mola giving Waterpon the free switch-in so I started using this thing instead. It's kinda like...

Strengths Aside from the 2 immunities that it has, I think the biggest strength that this typing has is that it is imo the single best type combination at switching into Ghost and Dark moves, since most commonly carried coverage options only hit us neutrally. In addition, it lacks glaring...

Check Moltres @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Flame Body Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 248 HP / 148 Def / 96 SpD / 16 Spe Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Flamethrower - Will-O-Wisp - Roost - Roar By virtue of its typing that resists everything Enamorus does, Moltres can survive pretty much anything and 2HKO back...

Water / Flying Steel / Flying Dark / Flying

Has not been able to participate in discussions due to a busy past 2 weeks, but am happy to see that we are working with Beak Blast and Water/Flying is looking to be the forerunner among our candidates, and likely what I'm going to be voting for. While already probably mentioned a few times...

Check Ting-Lu @ Leftovers Ability: Vessel of Ruin EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Tera Type: Fairy / Water Careful Nature - Spikes - Earthquake - Ruination - Whirlwind Fears nothing but Focus Blast, and 2HKOs back with Earthquake. Technically, if you Tera Ghost you can beat Focus Blast, but if...

I'm gonna shill Double Shock a bit because Burn Up is dexited it really rewards good skill expression. I have talked about it in my Burn Up suggestion, but I'll expand on it in terms of Double Shock instead. As mentioned earlier, I think I would classify good users of Double Shock (hereby...

Since my favourite options have already been suggested, mainly for the sake of completionism, I would like to suggest Burn Up in addition to Double Shock, while at the same time throwing some support behind Double Shock. Condition: This move fails unless the user is Fire Type. The user's Fire...

You make all the right points about why lead AloTales is inconsistent, and for screens HO it’s true that is often suboptimal compared to DeoS. However, I do think the best types of teams to run Tales on is as a non-lead, on a more BO-oriented playstyle. As exploitable as AloTales lead is, if...
