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.
Is it just me, or does it feel like some of the sets being rolled in Randbats are really weird all of a sudden. I just went through a couple of games and saw a Stun Spore Masquerain and a Brave Bird Articuno among a couple of other sets that felt weird. IDK, I guess you could justify Brave Bird...
Cool, that makes sense. But if that's the case, I feel like Dark Tera Dugtrio would be the better option to have always because I feel like people are more likely to lock themselves into a Psychic move for Choice Specs than they are to use a move like Outrage or lock themselves on a Dragon move...
IMO Dugtrio should roll Tera Ground or Tera Rock on the Choice Band set instead of Tera Fairy (I got that during one of my games). You generally aren't living anything with Dug, and I don't see what Fairy Dugtrio does over than avoid a stray sucker I guess. I think the extra power of Ground Tera...

Given all the people clamoring for a Tera Ban due to its seeming randomness and power, I’m wondering if the OU council would consider enacting a Tera Type Clause where every mon must have their Tera type listed on team preview (effectively a gentleman’s agreement to share Tera Types on cart) and...
As a person who mostly lurks these threads because it is enjoyable and now wants to say something, apologies if I say anything that is stupid in advance!
On the Corrosion discussion, I think one of the primary concerns is that running Corrosion would prevent 30i from running recovery. So why...
Tbh the data mine might not be completely finished as evidenced by the fact that no mon seems to learn Steel Beam, so who knows? Maybe the mons missing moves here might just be the result of a mistake.
If true, this means that an uninvested and neutral nature Regieleki will always outspeed Timid Dragapult and Jolly Zeraora. The only thing that still outspeeds and would be in OU is Pheromosa who is probably getting quick banned. As long as it has semi-decent coverage, full invested mixed...
