Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Hopefully it doesn't become a problem but I was never a fan of STAB stacking when it came to Terastilization. Are there any non stall answers to Tera Fairy Enamorus that don't involve sacking and revenge killing?
One of the hardest things to get used to in this Meta was the fact that...
Am I the only one who can't really see the justification for ever using Razor shell over Aqua Cutter on H-Samurott? Are there any specific damage benchmarks that Razor Shell's 5 BP difference hits to where it's actually worth using over a 100% accurate, non contact move?
Just a couple of questions I had to get some discussion going
Why the lack of levitate users in OU?
Also, why do you guys feel so many Mons can go without mosty using their ability in this gen more than any other Gen (Darkrai, Paradox forms when they aren't using Booster...
I was thinking about Ground Tera Blast as well since it learns Gravity which also makes its Thunder (100%?) Accurate. It just kinda sucks it doesn't learn Focus Blast
I wonder why Grassy Seed Zone isn't a thing. At +1 Def, it can OHKO Kingambit with Body Press and it seems to pair really well with Rillaboom since it helps with the Corv Match up
Magnezone @ Grassy Seed
Level: 100
Modest Nature
Tera Type: Grass/Water
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 232 Def / 100 SpA...
I don't think the Rillaboom/ Lucha core does well in the current meta. They share way too many weaknesses to the same mons such as Zapdos, Moltres and Corviknight.
Also, Grassy Terrain is the biggest double edge sword of all three Terrains since there's not much that can be done from...
The Calcs are off since they don't take into account the SpA drop
252 SpA Choice Specs Tera Fire Iron Moth Overheat over 2 turns vs. 4 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey in Sun: 592-698 (90.7 - 107%) -- 40.6% chance to 2HKO

I used to run this Dondozo set on I semi stall team I built a while back
:Dondozo:
Dondozo @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Unaware
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Curse
- Liquidation
- Body Press
- Rest
Chesto Rest allows it to run two attacks as well...
I was wondering why you don't see many mons running Rock coverage this generation and then I saw that the 4 highest ranking mons all resist it.
I kinda wanna run a Smack Down set on a strong Ground type Mon with a Ground Tera for double STAB. I was thinking either Great Tusk or Ursaluna
Where...
I'm surprised Chesto Rest in general didn't see a rise in usage after the sleep move ban. I was running it for a while on Dondozo so I could run an extra attack move instead of Sleep Talk on the Curse Rest sets
Shield Dust? Ice Scales is 100% the overall better ability. This is the set I run when using Frosmoth
:Frosmoth:
Frosmoth @ Leftovers
Ability: Ice Scales
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 24 HP / 120 Def / 112 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Ice Beam
- Tera Blast
- Substitute
Max...
Even then, I don't see how this is possible unless you hard read a switch. The low damage output of his special attacks would give pretty much everything away.
Or maybe I'm missing something
What is the set trying to bluff?
Not a big fan of having to use up your Tera to OHKO a mon that you can just 2HKO with Specs Psyshock. Also, neutral speed Nature means you'll most likely have to use sticky web to make this set work unless you're only goal is to OHKO Poison types. If that's really the case, I feel there are...
