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.
Let's go Pon!!
I don't think it will last, it feels a bit like a trend but it's still really solid imo.
Drill looks like it'll rise soon as well
Kinda shocked Heatran didn't drop tho
How does the tier even handle tera flying tera blast + heavy slam + head smash + supercell slam great tusk? That's right, it doesn't. Ban it asap.
It's even the fastest mon in the tier, outspeeding the previous fastest (kingambit) by way too much.
I think we should ban great tusk. It's too centralising and it's extremely broken with its choice band sets. The fact that it can OHKO pelliper with supercell slam says enough.
Super teeny tiny nitpick here but def go endeavor over drill run here. This actually allows you to beat tusk in some situations.
Otherwise trufs said the rest up there, everything I'd say is pretty much the same suggestions
:Meowscarada: --> B+
I tested this mon slot and it's a very excellent pokemon with a surprisingly versatile movepool and a decent amount of viable sets. It has a very powerful knock off when boosted by choice band, amazing speed tier, and a super solid move in flower trick.
Many might compare it...
P2 is a pretty decent mon definitely. It's a really knock weak, and it can't necessarily check everything with one set but I'd definitely still say it's a solid pick for the most part. (Def the best Porygon)
I also wanna just include that it's a very rare ghost immune mon meaning it's extremely...
Ill bring this up later but it's funny how you mention tera as a way to overcome a check and somehow pech's defensive tera is a sin now
Absolutely insane thing to say btw. Here, let me list out the mons pech stops, or at least helps contribute to stopping, that are currently over A- in the VR...
Nope, not yet, but I'll definitely try it eventually. Moxie is just one of the coolest abilities imo so I wanted to mess around with it.
I think it's mostly worth it since in my experience most people don't really expect sub on this guy. I do think a coverage move is definitely worth it...
Woger is a bit problematic, but if you don't let it in on tusk too often it shouldn't be the biggest issue
Torn can handle it for a turn or two
if worst comes to worst scarf twave + gambit/gyra will always revenge it
One of the biggest threats for this squad is probably speed booster moth...

Been messing around with Gyarados for a while and I managed to peal 1810 with this...
I agree, there's alot more to pech, such as how it's an amazing spinblocker that, with max speed, beats great tusk, or even without it (tera ghost)
I absolutely think pech should be S/S-, I just pointed out that they've been saying this in like every post, you can literally scroll up one and...
I don't disagree but you've said this like, 3 times already.
Rillas pure grass typing is too flawed too really be any more than an A- tier mon. Gterrain is good but the fact that almost everything resists it's priority really holds it back
