The max is 6, yes. The probability depends on the raid the pokemon is found in. 6 star raids are guaranteed to have at least 5 max IVs, but 5 star and lower raids have a chance to do so as well, although the chances are slim and get worse the lower the rank the raid.

I'll be as "fired up" as I feel like when someone I've never spoken with in my entire life starts calling me lad and questioning why I asked a harmless question. And same goes for you.

For starters I don't appreciate being called "lad." It comes off as condescending. Secondly there are plenty of trick room teams that don't use Torkoal, not to mention I didn't say; "Why is Torkoal there." I simply questioned what they aim to accomplish with it, since they're saying things like...

Since nobody's replied to you at all, I'll bite. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with Torkoal? You don't really have anyone that benefits from having the sun up, if anything you put yourself at a disadvantage by having the sun up with caly-ice on the field. And the only other fire...

I believe he means that in 2012 it wasn't legal when the person wrote that article, as the ability was not available yet while in DW OU it was available, and was eventually made available in OU The only way to know for certain would be to go look for the threads that these analysis were posted...

Kyogre and Koraidon are literally in B tier and Lunala is in C. "If we ignore the pokemon with better results than it" ahh response The difference between the 3 is that Terapagos has yet to reach a final much less win, and don't say it's because its losing to A and S tiers. Stockholm Eric...

I see Atlanta and raise you; EUIC, San Juan, Vancover, the other half of top 8 in Atlanta, and another handful of tournaments where "worse" mons finished ahead of the highest finishing Terapagos. I don't see the justification of ranking something in A that is getting outclassed by things ranked...

I know that Reg G is coming to an end soon, but Terapagos should not be in A tier anymore. Outside of Stockholm, usage has been down across the board and the people that are using it are getting outperformed by players using "worse" pokemon according to the viability rankings. A -> B

I feel like there should be a discussion on moving Terapagos down a tier. Usage stats are down in the first 3 NA/EU regionals+EUIC compared to the first 3 NA/EU regionals+NAIC from last year and players that are using it are failing to reach top 8 while pokemon that are considered "worse" than...

Almost everything has been moved to the discord server

It doesn't help that CSR players were being greedy with their EVs/nature going either Modest or investing 128 or fewer EVs with a Timid nature, max speed Jolly Koraidon has 205 speed while 252 Modest CSR is only 202 and Timid 128 spe is 204.

I cannot speak for smogon's rules for trading/battling as it's been a hot minute since I looked at them, but if you're talking about in the eyes of Pokemon/Play Pokemon! when using them at VGC events or for putting into Bank/Home, no they're not legal.

Guess we're just ignoring the part where I said; "and quite a few mons just straight up threaten/ignore it in reg h." Like, Rain+arch laughs at it, mausape thanks it for the +1 attack and takes at least 50% of its hp off drain punch, 'dozo ohkos with wave crash, psyspam has psychic terrain to...

Feel like Incineroar being in A tier after being on only 1 team in top 8 at Worlds for masters division, and quite a few mons that just straight up threaten/ignore it in reg h is a pretty generous ranking.

Outside of having wide guard and quick guard, there isn't any supporting move it has that you can't find a better user of. Taunt/trick+screens? Grimmsnarl. Encore+Helping hand? Whimsicott. Twave/icy wind? lol there's at least 20 better users. False Swipe Gaming can go into better depth as to why...
