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...

I'd handle protean whichever way monotype decides to. I don't have any particular opposition to protean mons existing in monotype because they can't be used as safe pivots and protean mons tend to be squishy anyways so it's not like the additional types are giving much more than damage (this is...

Alright, I've got one here, haven't seen it suggested yet in monotype OMs. Monotypify Premise: Every pokemon on your team will become the primary type of the pokemon in slot 1 (Edit: possible addition: if your slot 1 mon is shiny, it instead donates its secondary typing). Similar to other...

Zapdos (Flying) for A Rank ThunderMountain (Zapdos) @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD Calm Nature - Defog - Discharge - Heat Wave/Toxic - Roost Zapdos is Flying's best special wall. With 90/85/90 defenses and solid Electric/Flying typing, it can take on many threats...

Actually scratch that I'll reserve Charizard-X, Zapdos, and Skarm for flying.
