Is Tera only going to be subject to just one suspect after DLC2 or could it potentially end up with even more than just two suspects?

Am very low ladder but I resort to trying to outspeed OHKO it even going as far to spend Tera on doing so before it can setup screens since i'd rather deal with Baxcalibur without screens than deal with it behind screens.

Am I crazy for wanting to put Heavy Duty Boots on a DD Dragapult? I was initially going to put a life orb on it but my only form of hazard removal is Glimmora and I highly doubt it will stick around often enough to remove hazards.

Does Jugulis even get NP? I remember lots of people complaining a lot how it was useless and specifically mention it losing NP was a big reason normal Hydreigon was better.

Question if OU decides to ban Tera does it immediately apply to all lower usage tiers like UU and NU and so on?

I am a horrible player and can't give great examples in pokemon specifically but in other games i've seen open sheets on what you have availible as options almost always tends to benefit the more skilled player in any given match. It probably wouldn't change much for the lower end of the ladder...

Haven't played much so take my feelings with a grain of salt but if the mechanic absolutely needs addressed in some ways I like Terra Type in Team Preview the most out of all the options. I feel like this gives us the best balance of keeping said mechanic around and allows for tons of...

Quick not meta related question when exactly do the quickbans go into effect on showdown? On a gameplay related topic how exactly do you deal with Grimmsnarl screens offense teams? I'm low ladder and feel like I see it most games but I am not really sure what I should be doing/what is effective...

I'm not really sure if i'm surprised or unsurprised that Chien-Pao got 0 votes in favor for banning. While it looks super strong it never really felt like it just decided the entire game on it's own when I used it or played against it. I haven't played very much since day 1 but not having to...

Gonna preface this with outright admitting I'm terrible and coming back to actually playing competitive for the first time since Gen 4/early Gen 5 Great Tusk is probably the second best new Pokemon for me so far. Booster Energy feels super strong on it but I haven't been dissapointed by AV...

Almost certainly not someone to give a great opinion on this seeing as I haven't really played competitive pokemon since the start of Gen 5 but this is definitely the feeling I'm getting as I lurk a bunch of other threads. I'm just wondering why people want to aim for the same power level of an...

I'm really curious how Snowstorm will go and this is the first time I've felt interested in playing competitively since Gen 4 was current. The Dark Legendaries look kind of scary at a glance so they'll probably be where I start experimenting in OU. The changes to Snow are interesting and I...

What would be good hazard removal support for an offensive team attempting to utilize CB Ho-oh and DD Rayquaza in ORAS? I want something that feels more offensive compared to Arceus-Water and I don't want to only have Latios for the role.

Okay this alone makes Articuno a much more interesting and somewhat better now. I'll add it to the top post if you don't mind.

Okay I overlooked Haze i'll add that in now. as for the Snow Cloak sets I really think Pressure benifits it more than Snow Cloak even in Hail and Bright Powder doesn't seem like it would be to helpful over Leftovers.
