This is not entirely correct. Knock off still does bonus damage to Sticky Hold users. You're right about Mega Stones, but it's not equivalent. From Bulbapedia, here's a screenshot describing the interactions: EDIT: Woah, posted from mobile and that image was HUGE. Fixed that.

For clarity, not just when Terastallized. As long as Ogerpon is holding a Mask, it's all the time. And as clarity for what I believe arnimacarni actually asked, no. A knocked out Ogerpon is still only worth 1 for Supreme Overlord. FuecocoBoi was just making the equivalency that Ogerpon's 20%...

I kind of like the idea of the pivot set to fish for Toxics off U-turns. The EVs could be played around with for that though. I came up with this for it: Fezandipiti @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Toxic Chain Tera Type: Water (or whatever) EVs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 160 Spe Timid Nature -...

A fun benchmark I found looking at some spread ideas: neutral-natured max-Speed Torterra reaches 422 Speed after a Shell Smash. Timid max-Speed Dragapult hits 421.

I cannot, sadly. And I'm on Violet. So I guess I can't post evidence here for y'all, but I'm sure someone else with it can confirm.

A friend of mine with Scarlet confirmed that Gligar gets both Spikes and Toxic Spikes.

Gastrodon doesn't get Scald.

Yes, Alomomola gets Scald back.

It does not; I got to a TM shop in my game and checked.

This was found in the data and tested if I'm correct. Folks hacked in Zamazenta (and others too like Palkia, Dialga, etc.), and then eventually the auctions at Porto Marinada will offer those Pokemon-specific items. I don't know if it has to be in your party or in your box, but the game knows...

I'm honestly incredibly excited for all the meta changes that could come from this. So many interesting other mons are more useable now, including the above Wo-Chien. It still has problems of course, but now it's not an automatic 5v6 to try it out. As more and more people feel the teambuilding...

Okay I'm gunna be that guy. 5 Pao 1 Garg 1 Ghold 2 Espathra Pao is stupid, and I'd hazard to say we all know why - because the offensive Ruin abilities are freaking broken. Both Garg and Ghold are not issues at all and are completely containable, balanced, and in my honest opinion healthy; if...

Totally agree! This is the plight of most Ice-types to be fair; the one guy earlier had that whole post about Cryogonal and how it has potential relevance even in OU. It's also part of why both Avaluggs probably aren't up to non-niche OU standard. But if we're comparing normal Avalugg to Hisuian...

My brother in Arceus, have you heard of Terastallization? I think H-Avalugg does have some minor merits over regular. Most notably, provided they keep some semblance of the PLA learnset, it has access to Stealth Rock. Be it in OU or wherever it eventually lands, a titanically bulky [insert best...

I've been using Garg a ton as well. It's arguably my favorite Pokemon to come from Gen 9 and has been on almost all my teams that could fit it. If I'm being honest, I really don't see that much of a difference between it and prior-generation Toxapex. That explains why people dislike it so much...
