First off I wasn't trying to say people should be on the Muk train just that it was a solid mon, something that's decent and usable in the tier and in UU and in OU without needing full team support to KO threats, or do anything. I don't know where you got this straw man from but it's quaint...

Well I just got free time so I haven't gotten around to the full explanation of why it's useful that I will do. I just thought I'd explain my reasoning in regards to the tera, that may be true however, unlike most others Muk doesn't tera to resist a weakness or make it immune such as King Gambit...

Edit part 1: My whole point wasn't to make Muk out to be the god of all Pokemon, as I originally said it's an interesting tech mon that I like that has applications in multiple tiers and is SOLID not GODLY but solid: Useful against common multiple threats. I'm not sure where the...

Wait people think HDB themselves are unhealthy? Personally I do think if people don't experiment outside of them or become obsessed with every mon equipping them it can be unhealthy or not learning to pace EH weak Pokémon in certain situations [After being knocked off for example], but I don't...

I think that's a misunderstanding of the defense of cloak. Cloak is primarily meant for Pokemon that are slow and or somewhat bulky. It stops RNG such as flinchhax, parahax, trapping moves, stat drops, status affliction that are secondary effects from moves. Which can be a life saver. In...

Skeledirge beats garg with ease using EP. After +2, Garg is forced to switch, be basically dead, waste a turn to recover allowing you to +3 guaranteeing that KO and making switching risky or what not. Curse is wasted on Unaware and allows set up, and even if Garg recovers Dirge can continue to...

Very true I know there's a few other options depending on Tera too without having to add things merely for it. I actually did run IH on a few teams, though I ran a BD set so it wasn't too optimal for CP thrashing, it was pretty great though. However, one option I absolutely adore is:

No. Not even. A team should have answers to most meta defining Poke's and mechanics, the problem is Chien Pao you either run one or two specific Poke's on every team, or have to run Niche crap that if it dies you lose. IE: Haxorus with First Impression as much as a fun meme it is. Garganacle...

Garg I don't feel is too oppressive unlike Gholdengo to be honest. I've been running Skeledirge @ Covert Cloak, with 252 HP/136 Def investment with Slack Off/Torch Song/EP (RIP Shadow Ball though Will-O could be traded for it). RS only does ~20% , in return for getting hit for around ~10% for...

Since I was a little tired last night and didn't actually go to in depth: Let me talk about my favorite tech mon: Muk: Damage calc time: Next And: The final slot: This hardly used mon has a lot of potential that many are overlooking in every tier right now and I heavily recommend...

1) I know it's not staying in. But to burn Hippo coming in not switching in, coming in off revenge kill or lead burn Gengar if Tera-Ghosting in this match has to take 1EQ regardless. That was the original scenario proposed. It switches out, but Hippo is still alive. Hippo can return to heal with...

Personally I've run two sets on it prior: And:

Tera is a risk assessment answer. It can be good or bad at any point. Unlike many tools which have a fine line in the sand when they are useful or an actual answer, tera is harder to pin down where it's end goal is the most important or least important. Sometimes you have to 4D theorymon when...

I meant with entry hazards. If you've worn it down to ~60% (EQ hitting for 34~40% of its health in return) after getting hit by hippo EQ exchanging a burn for that EQ hit on tera Ghost to mitigate ~60-70% in said scenario, sandstorm chip + EH chip makes it harder to keep switching in and if you...

Well yeah, I understood that part, but you could argue that Hippo can rely on the rest of the team as well, and generally I would never try to switch in on Gengar, that usually constitutes a counter. Hippo checks Gengar and with EB/HEX sets checks Hippo, it doesn't counter it. Which I can...
