The boost its given but you cant see it as a stat change, just like Protosynthesis, i guess it will be changed in the future and the stat change will be visibile

I've tried body pressing with an ice type in and out of snow and the damage remains the same. Perhaps it's a bug with body press?
I firstly tested the defence output, and the boost exists but as you said Body Press does the same damage so yea I assume a bug
Yeah, just tested on cartridge and the bug exists on there too; hopefully they fix it!
Then probably the Defense boost just isn't a stat change and Body Press isn't getting the damage boost
That's super weird, not at all expected. I can't even imagine what sort of bug would do something like that, is it halving the attack stat of the opponent? Wild.
Iron Bundle does like 80%+ to corv, and it gets aurora veil. Works very well on snow teams.
body press only takes into account visible stat boosts, iirc. I remember this being discussed in the leak thread, but body press won't be affected by snow's buff
The only times Body Press and Foul Play are boosted how you'd expect them to be boosted are with "stage" boosts (I dunno what they're properly called) like Iron Defense and Swagger. In every other instance, they work like regular physical attacks. If snow had boosted Attack instead of Defense, then an Ice-type using Body Press would have its damage boosted.
that's super jank. Thanks.
The second radar released on Monday actually — and we will be voting on it this weekend. The plan is to ride with the current viability list, which is also up and pinned, for now and once we get our bearings straight next week, begin works on the rankings as we have to focus on getting the Tera threads up this week alongside the second vote — a LOT is going on as you can see.
VR is 1-2 weeks out I would ultimately say.
Has Revival Blessing been implemented into Showdown? I heard a few days ago it hadn't been yet.
Not really, it is there but it's not usable yet
Best set for Golduck in Rain teams?
I would guess Golduck has two viable sets -
Choice Specs with Surf, Psychic, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam
Then Nasty Plot, Surf/Hydro Pump, Psychic/Focus Blast, Ice Beam/Taunt with Boots, Life Orb, or Expert Belt
EDIT: you can possibly run Psyshock anywhere there is Psychic. However, it is not clear yet on spreads / usage for the mons it hits.

This might be an odd question but do bans from Ubers apply to OU as well for things besides specific mons? Like is it possible for Tera to be banned/acted on in Ubers tier (perhaps as a result of specific Uber-only Abusers like the Box Legends or Flutter Mane) without this being necessary in OU?
Curious in part because how much Ubers is a full tier in the "hierarchy" vs a semi-formal Ban-list format has always been unclear to me.

Me and Dorron made some tests with different mons in SV and we can almost certainly say the boost the Tera gives it's x1.33
Thank you, In the games right and not on simulators?
I firstly mentioned it but then i deleted, we did it on the simulator so I am not sure if its the same as in the games
