See I’ve run into sub behind screens a lot so tickle and status feel like a risky turn if it ends up being sub. I’ll try foul play Pech though!

What are the best answers to Tera blast flying Dnite that people have found? Corv seems to be the only obvious one to me and it still loses to encore. I also don’t want to use Corv on every team

How does this team deal with Kingambit? Every time it gets a swords dance on me, I lose if my tusk is chipped at all

I should add if there’s proper support, if the community doesn’t think there’s enough there than it is what it is. I’d be curious to see the results of a survey in a month or so.

I know there are tournaments going on so nothing can be done right now, but I think Dragonite at least needs to be suspected. It’s Tera flying Tera blast sets are extremely tough to counter barring a few distinct mons like Corv, Ting, and Molt, the latter two essentially require a trade to...

Amazing team as usual! Glad to see you back posting a RMT again Is the Tera speed boost/general speed control on Teal-pon the main reason to run it over Rilla?

The only reason I wouldn’t run Magma storm is if I’m running Zapdos on the same team. Relying on Hurricane and Magma Storm is just gambling with elo.

This is categorically untrue lol. A plain max defense Corv is a lot more threatening with brave bird to common moms like Oger, Valiant, Tusk, etc. it also doesn’t need to run boots, can absorb knock, and can win games with Idef+ body press (idef+foul play is not the same) Mandibuzz has such...

I think you have Rotom-W a bit low here. I would probably move it to B or B+. This meta is a bit more friendly to it. While it’s not a hard counter to anything, it the ability to soft check a lot of physical attacks in the tier. Specifically Tusk, Ace, Scizor, Corviknight, Zama, and to a degree...

Love the team build but having trouble with all of the HO on the ladder for this team. How do you handle set up spam?

Good point. Dnite and Gambit are sort of flexible any way you cut it. I don’t think either are broken, but I do think the meta advantages HO/offense more than bulkier playstyles right now.

I agree with your analysis, the only thing I will say is that all of these things are inextricable screens, Dragonite, Kyurem, Tera blast, Gambit, and Oger all are aiding HO or offensive play styles which make it feel really oppressive. Building to handle all of those threats at once feels a bit...

Good post but you’re reaching a just bit with that list of Oger checks lol. Even Corv is devastated by an unboosted crit, and Zap is definitely not a satisfactory Oger answer.

I can understand that. What are balance answers to Ceruledge though? I feel like it can usually take 1.5 mons down with it.

Was going to say this. The SD life orb sets on screens are almost always a guaranteed trade. Yet another Mon this gen that balance really struggles to handle. The Smogon Bulky Dnite takes ~70% from a +2 Poltergeist and Zama can only roar it out once in a game. SD is the best set but it has...
