Designed for a webs team this SD Lum Ape is here to monkey around. Tera Dark is useful for both the immunity to...
I mostly agree but even with Stellar Leaf Storm into Stellar Blast you don't kill Zapdos without a Crit. The Zapdos can hit you with either a Hurricane or T-wave into Hurricane.
The Serp does even less damage and loses the 1v1 for sure. The Stellar boost is once per move type and Stellar Blast...
The most common is a defensive set. Even the defensive set OHKOs with Hurricane and 2HKOs with Heatwave. Zapdos also doesn't take much from Tellar Blast until Serp is +4.
0 SpA Zapdos Hurricane vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tera Stellar Serperior: 300-354 (103 - 121.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
0 SpA Zapdos Heat...
Gholdengo works well if you run a more support set.
112 SpA Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Breloom: 273-322 (104.1 - 122.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252 Atk Technician Breloom Bullet Seed (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 189-225 (50 - 59.5%) -- approx. 2HKO
No, you are wrong. They are both physical attackers with a choice band 2HKOing Corv after Rocks. The fact one gets spore does indeed make it better than one without it. However Breloom has more attack and more speed than Brute Bonnet and can also 2HKO Corv with a banded set. You don't even need...
No, it does not make it crazy. 2HKO on Corv isn't something new or special.For example:
252 Atk Choice Band Terrakion Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Corviknight: 204-241 (51 - 60.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
You don't even need Terra to do this in past...
You still can play mind games with what dual type you are going to mono into. For example mono Dragon Pult to OHKO chein pao that tries to sucker punch you, or terra Ghost Pult to dodge ice shard from chein Pao. There is still a lot to do with limited terra.
I mean stuff like chi yu breaks its checks regardless of terra. And defensive terra would be far from dead. Stuff like Terra water Bros, terra Ghost Pult to avoid a KO from a dark or Dragon move,etc. There is still a lot of stuff to play around with dual typing mons but instead of having 18...
I think STAB-only makes more sense than this thread thinks. Sure stuff like Terra dark chein pao,Chi yu and Roaring moon OHKO or 2HKO everything but that doesn't mean that STAB-Only doesn't work. We just need to ban the 3-5 mons that do that. It also fixes most issues with Pokemon changing types...
