    is this assuming youve already used tidy up? because the actual calc should look like this: -1 252 Atk Tera Ice Maushold Tera Blast (80 BP) vs. 252 HP / 220+ Def Landorus-Therian: 196-232 (51.3 - 60.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

    I think people are underestimating fairy type. also its defense is not worse than hoopa? this is shaky territory but bulbapedia even suggests that it was meant to learn thousand waves, not sure how that makes sense but if it did we're looking at a pokemon that has recovery, trapping, and the...

    I know theres been a bit of discussion over the past few pages about how only 1 style of balance is possible so id like to share a balance team that Ive been using that works every bit as well as Ting/glowking. infact heres a replay of me beating that balance with mine at about 1600 (still...

    Really like it, you're covering a lot of the metagames best leads. I've always preferred tera dark sucker punch over tera water aqua jet but they both have their strengths. Aqua jet is better against opposing sash leads incase they set screens etc. Sucker punch better late game if you save...

    knock off walking wake against zapdos is asking for static trouble. weather teams in general blow past the core with their massive damage output. if the sun is up you do like 80% MINIMUM with hydro steam to zapdos and if youre proto spA its a clean OHKO. even max spdef Glowking has 5% chance to...

    For my own clarification as I'm very tired, are you being sarcastic or do you truly think waterpon helps this core rather than hurts it

    I'm sorry to say this as I have nothing against you as a person, but a lot of your posts just aren't correct. Clodsire is absolutely an answer to raging bolt, and it's not the only one in the tier either. If an opponent hasn't sent out their bolt yet then a good player should know to keep...

    Putting a sunday night spotlight on my favourite core this week. This core hinges on the fact that tera steel scizor is strong enough to OHKO several of OU's top offensive threats with some chip. And also theyre some of the coolest mons of all time so why not use them. 252+ Atk Choice Band...

    I used to agree and post really strongly about this. One thing that changed my mind was exploring offense a bit more over balance which is really all i ever played. We've never been so spoilt for choice with fire-power, so while hazard stack is annoying, substitute, Encore, various setup...

    Yesterday i vaguely promised a spotllight on primarina but i cant be bothered. I've instead chosen a pokemon who isnt even present on the VR which is a complete travesty. :sm/flamigo: Flamigo @ Choice Scarf Ability: Scrappy Tera Type: Fighting EVs: 24 HP / 252 Atk / 232 Spe Jolly...

    There is no worse feeling than switching your iron treads or excadrill or landorus into weather ball and getting OHKO'd. It has a place but as stated theres a significant opportunity cost to losing any other move.

    Lure sets are great but they need to be optimised. Running max defense impish on roaring moon is a terrible idea. Lure sets are gimmicks by nature but they have the chance to run away with the game if used properly. You need to make a decision on what you're luring then use moon's great speed...
