As someone who has been trying to get back into smogon ou since the end of gen vi where i was super active during gen v and vi, I think its an acceptable mechanic if each player has a setting for their user name where you check a box "show Tera types" and if they match up with a player who also...

Thank you for the reply! What Tera would be best to run? And would moves like electric terrain, Tera blast, or aurora veil have any merit?

What are some of iron bundles best sets? It doesn't look like there's a thread discussing it at all yet.

Dude stop my girlfriend reads this thread

I love baxcaliber but how come outrage isn't even an option over glaive rush? I know it was mentioned but I honestly feel way better locking myself into outrage for 2 or 3 turns than halving my bulk when I might need him to take a hit while attacking

Would that mean the boost for same type tera stab is 4/3 × 2 so about 2.66x stab boost? I could see the stab same type tera boost being 5/3 x 2 thanks adaptability

What's the Tera boost for adaptability users using stab moves? I know Tera blast is 80 BP, and terastalizing to a type that isn't any of yours will give a 1.5x boost and same type terastalizing will give stab moves a 2x boost instead of a 1.5x stab boost. However, adaptability already grants...

I wanted to see how Breloom was doing this gen since I took gen 7 and gen 8 off and destroyed me in 5 and 6 but saw he was unavailable. I found that weird because I figured there had to be a way to transfer a mon from previous gens into the current gen. Then I saw there's like 200 pokemon...

What would happen in the event my opponent and I aren't available at the same time as each other at all? It sounds like being in vastly different time zones and responsibilities are getting in our way?

I would have to disagree with the drop, at least all the way to B instead of B+. Rotom-w has been great for me as an anti-lead whether its pivoting out of unideal match ups, threatening to hit hard with hydro pump, or using status moves like twave and WoW to neuter a threat. It's typing+ability...

Yea thats why I originally wanted to have whirlwind on there to get the threat out so they couldn't set up. I feel like mandibuzz suffers from 4MSS big time since it wants Roost, Foul Play, Toxic, Knock Off, Defog, and Whirlwind.

Shoot I forgot to include Roost. I guess it'd replace foul play and I'd need to run taunt over something like whirlwind even though all those mons save for ferro outspeed mandi. I guess there's better mons to run though. Thank you Finchinator

This is a bit old school but what's the opinion of a defensive core of mandibuzz, ferrothorn, and rotom-w and what are they weak to in the current meta game? Mandibuzz I'd use for hazard removal, knock off, possibly foul play and whirlwind I believe. Ferro would be used for SR, tanking resisted...
