I like how this says 2022-2026 as if Flying hasn't been a top type for the past 12 years. Anyways with Gliscor gone the type is going to really suffer from Knock and Status, I could see Fighting maybe getting a bit more viable? Maybe not. Dragon won't have to run as many weird breakers for it...

I would like to repeat and elaborate on my take that Spikes Gliscor is broken. People weren't running it for a long time due to Flying's lack of spinblocker. But let's look at how the types can deal with Spikes Flying: Relies on bouncer: Fairy, Psychic (Hat) Relies on spinner: Normal...

Every time I play against this mon, I get the overwhelming feeling that I need to be playing significantly better than my opponent consistently over many turns to make even marginal progress, while at the same time it is easily and brainlessly forcing progress itself. Gliscor invalidates usual...

Platinum Altruism Rain water is cheat code. Only two losses were to mono-dragon (unplayable :puff:) Team here: https://pokepast.es/3ec9797aca3a797a https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9monotype-2606498211?p2 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9monotype-2606496704...

Silver Triumph Bronze Altruism (rain or stall water is really easy for this, also why did so many of my replays get set to private? I assume it's because of the other players?) https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9monotype-2605641055?p2...

Just found out about this thanks Axe Time Bronze Triumph Silver Ability, Bronze Knowledge Bronze Resolution IDK if this counts but I played all my games after thread start though this is an older account, Silver Knowledge on my main trich: silver knowledge doesn't count but rest are good!

Fighting is generally awful into flying but both Hands and Shifu easily break the core you mentioned. SD Punching Glove Shifu in particular doesn't have to worry about Helmet on Corv or Flame Body on Tres. Band Shifu just OHKOs Tres/Gliscor and 2HKOs Corv/Cuno, and has the advantage of being...

Let's be honest here though, "Tera lets this mon beat its would-be checks" isn't really a mark against a mon but rather something to be expected. You can say the same of most of the mons in the tier, offensive or defensive. It's maybe a bigger problem on certain ones like Arch, Gambit, Ghold...

It's a crime that we used "London Bridge" instead of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" for this announcement. Anyways this thing is all over SPL and also ladder, I actually thought it would be too slow to be impactful in the meta but it's so tanky that it always can 1v1 whatever you send out against...

IDK about how necessary Rillaboom is, it's good vs opposing rain but you have Archaludon and Raging Bolt. Would probably replace it with Iron Treads, since you're also lacking hazard control. As far as Bolt, I'm not sure if CM is the best set for rain? I personally prefer Weather Ball +...
