So a Tera Steel Powered STAB Bullet Punch would do the same damage has a non-STAB Quick Attack right? I can see this being useful in situations where I don't Terastalize, but otherwise I think the damage is the same. I like this Fissure change. So many times have I been stuffed with my Opponent...

Ah, right... totally forgot Focus Blast was a Special Move...

Hi all, please rate my attempt at a Gen 9 team for Battle Stadium Singles (Series 1). It's had some success on Pokemon Showdown and I was hoping to leverage the expertise here to make it even better. The general strategy is to lead with Scizor, Garganacl, and Hatterene; subbing out Hatterene...

Ok, this makes sense. Thank you.

I was breeding my Cursola w/ Perish Body with a 6IV Ditto w/ Limber. My egg Corsola ended up with Cursed Body... how is this possible? I got both Mons from Max Raids.

I'm new to meta in general. Could someone please break it down to me why ditto is so good in the Dynamax era? I've read 16 of the 24 pages in this thread and everyone appears to understand something I don't on what makes ditto so good. Treat me like I know nothing... because I don't :psysad...
