Format Discussion Scarlet/Violet Random Battle Sets

[sshuckle]

Not sure if this has already been brought up, but the Nasty Plot Salazzle set runs Corrosion despite it not getting Toxic. Oblivious would be a better ability for it to prevent Taunt. It's not useful but it's still better than Corrosion.

It's been discussed to death internally. For clarity, Corrosion doesn't do nothing, since it still lets Sludge Wave poison Poisons, and getting Taunted is unlikely at 242 speed. Both are niche but we settled on Corrosion.

I had NO idea Sludge Wave worked with Corrosion like that. That's super cool lol. Thank you!

Saw during a game of Randbats SP B12P6, is a Rest Giratina without Sleep Talk intentional? Even outside of the context of that format, a non-Sleep Talk Rest user without a Chesto berry seems like a terrible idea.

It's intentional, since Giratina's huge bulk and Pressure let it stall a lot of things out with multiple Rests while still keeping the flexibility of 3 other moves.

The team wanted it to not run Chesto, so it doesn't run Chesto.

Thanks for the quick response, still sounds utterly terrible to me, but glad to know it isn't randbats moveset generation bugging.

Does klefki really need to have both magnet rise AND Tera flying on the same set? Since the main point of both is to give yourself a ground immunity I feel like having both is pretty redundant.

You know how Volcarona got banned from OU because you couldn't properly counterplay it due to tera blast? (something even worse here since you can't scout for sets?)
In a bright idea, one of its sets is just that, Tera Blast + either Water or Ground. And due to the other sets being noticeably worse and bringing it down, it sits at an obscenely high level 77 despite being broken as shit.
Please take this away I beg.

EDIT: Although I shouldn't have to clarify, I am talking about an imbalance between the sets. I believe this falls strictly on-topic.

Therefore, this thread is not for suggestions, questions or complaints about a particular set that seems too overwhelming for you, as at best it's an issue that will be solved with level nerfing, and if winrates don't abide to it being broken you can reach the Random Battles room to ask for suggestions on how to properly deal with it.
