Per ADV: Tauros has been broken for 3+ years basically. That's how old its subtect toxic set it is if not longer. Tauros is basically Terapagos in SV. Vs non steels it just wins. Terapagos got banned, just ban Tauros. Ngl I don't play ADV so I don't have a horse in this race but if y'all...

Alr last team. Team: Clear Skies V6 Yet another dragon fairy steel. This one works though. Florges as a better sylveon beating prim / spa and slow attackers. Walking wake as the ol' reliable fire type beater + corv. Scizor filling in the gaps with good coverage + SD + bullet punch koing...

Team: Graveyard Blossoms Goodra Hisui with excellent typing + bulk + ability beats the things you'd want a steel + dragon type to beat (fairies, grasses, etc). It's main weakness is stall and opposing steel types which skeledirge handles with ease. The last main type needing coverage is grounds...

team: Echoes of Wonder Featuring two type triangles (dragon fairy steel and psychic dark fighting), this team features some of the most reliable pokemon of each category. In terms of dragons roaring moon stands out with its ability to 100% hoopa, water types not named primarina, and generally...

One last thing: I am tired of the uncertainty that :hoopa-unbound: brings. Yes this pokemon is beatable. Yes, its defense is terrible. But when you're staring it down at preview unless you have a few very specific counters it never feels safe to click versus it. It totally may be a skill issue...

Water types not named primarina seem extremely good right now (might be the most overrated pokemon in the tier). :blastoise: :manaphy: :urshifu rapid-strike: and friends are insanely good. Blastoise especially. Run life orb and watch it delete stuff. Blastoise @ Life Orb Ability: Torrent Tera...

Team Name: Raindrops on a Cloud https://pokepast.es/5ab71b5d752d9976 Custap hoopa beats the pokemon urshifu-rapid-strike loses to (ghosts, fairies, etc). Urshifu Rapid-Strike beats the pokemon Sylveon loses to (steels, fires). Sylveon as a fairy type is categorically broken and rounds out the...

The unhealthy 3 in terms of teambuilding (imo): :hoopa-unbound: mixed LO hoopa band hoopa specs hoopa, custap hoopa, super annoying to cover when not using very bulky very strong attackers. How broken this feels depends on ur landorus t and ursaluna usage. :regidrago: not the most broken...

I do want to note that unless ogerpon is running superpower pz is extremely favored for anyone that knows how to ev a little bit. I agree that ogerpon is annoying generally, though its individual sets have never really impressed me but that is just me. It is extremely versatile, maybe even too...

The regidrago of now is very different from the regidrago of the archaludon meta or the regidrago of sword and shield. It has incredible freedom to choose what it wants to run or beat. This is reinforced by the fact that regidrago's sets are all currently very good. It's an excellent scarfer...

252 SpA Choice Specs Ninetales Overheat vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew in Sun: 348-409 (102 - 119.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252 SpA Choice Specs Charizard Blast Burn vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 324-382 (95 - 112%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

6. 50/50s between two Pokemon means that the featured team does indeed have a way to counter it, and should not count as "countering." Hitting 2 blizzards is a 50/50.

This matchup is super inconsistent due to blizzard's low accuracy. A general guide is to try to make the matchup 87.5% accurate or more, counting all turns that play out to win. :cresselia: Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate Tera Type: Psychic EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid...

grassy seed offense is epic, s/o bo for helping me optimize it. smol edit: to KO things drop some spdef, modest specs hyper beam hoopa isn't real. speed tiers are super crowded, so fast charm prim puts in work, best bulk for ada band haxorus. idk why there isn't a set for guts ursa, just...
