I am far removed from the metagame these days. Historically, Earthquake is better vs. Sun headaches like Heatran and Iron Moth.

Cerulege typing is great on Sun but use Flash Fire. No Tusk? Tusk is sun Jezus. Esp w Assault Vest

I’m not sure for Heatran. My rocker on sun has historically been Torkoal but I heard Ninetales is better now. This is the Tusk set. Trust me, it slaps. Great Tusk @ Assault Vest Ability: Protosynthesis Tera Type: Fire EVs: 96 Atk / 252 SpD / 160 Spe Adamant Nature - Headlong Rush...

Fire team. Grassy sun is dope. I’ve run the concept before. My official recommendations are Miracle Seed SD Rilla or Band Rilla w Knock & Tera Grass. I’ve also had lot of success using Eject Button Rilla because it’s super easy to get Venusaur in with both Sun & Grass up by Turn 2 For Tusk...

I picked up Stadium for a bit after a 20 year hiatus. Much easier now after showdown knowledge. I ripped through Round 1 everything except Petit Cup (haven’t built a team yet there, open to suggestions). Round 1 was so easy I only lost two Pokémon total. This was my Pika Cup team...

I feel like you need rocks on either Tusk or dare I say Gambit. Also, this team looks weak to enemy Raging Bolt. It nukes everything.

I’ve used it and came to the consensus conclusion; Mega-Gyarados is a fine Pokémon that unfortunately just doesn’t seem to work as well or consistently as its competing options. It’s never “bad,” and is viable, but your team is just better using other choices. Sucks because Gyarados has been...

I love this. Fellow Keldeo stan here. This whole RMT, and the Keldeo sprite, have big horn / big sword energy.

I feel you on Fire Blast. Sucks when that shit misses. But it gets the job done: +2 252 SpA Life Orb Scovillain Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 240+ SpD Slowking-Galar in Sun: 419-493 (106.3 - 125.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252 SpA Life Orb Scovillain Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Clodsire in Sun...

Nice fun looking team. Mon choices are great, couple suggestions / preferences to mention: Scovillain Tera Ground doesn’t seem that useful, as I believe you can get past Slowking with +2 Flamethrower in sun. If not, Fire Blast surely does. Tera Rock or possibly even Tera Fairy seem better...

Love It. Why Band Scizor over the GOAT Daddy MegaScizor? Speaking of Mega-Scizor, I finally got my Mega Scizor Rain to work. Here it is! https://pokepast.es/b6883faca46f9e04 Pretty brainless. I gave zero thought to the fat matchup because who cares. This team is just lay rocks and pivot...

Even in the case of Rilla, I swear by Miracle Seed > Life Orb for the SD set. Most of the benefit with no recoil. Life Orb Wood Hammer is suicidal.

Life Orb can be a great item but in my opinion is only ideal if the user has some way of mitigating the recoil. The three common ways of recoil mitigation are: Sheer Force - Feraligatr, Nidoking, Braviary, etc Powerful Draining Moves - Venusaur, Ceruledge Direct Recovery (Roost, Recover) -...

Tusk needs spinner. Not just for Gliscor. You go from beating Dragonite to being walled by it. Bad idea for sun.

FYI Dragon is a good Tera option for Zapdos if Ogerpon-W gets out of hand. Maintains the Grass resist. Also, Zapdos needs 16 SPA to OHKO with Hurricane: 0 SpA Zapdos Hurricane vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Ogerpon-Wellspring: 296-350 (98.3 - 116.2%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO 16 SpA Zapdos Hurricane vs. 0...
